Local Trade‐Offs Shape Flower Size Evolution Across Arabidopsis thaliana Distribution
ABSTRACT The remarkable variation in floral form and size is thought to have driven the evolutionary radiation of angiosperms and has traditionally been attributed to pollinator‐mediated selection on floral displays, yet emerging evidence indicates that abiotic environmental factors can also generate and filter variation in flower size.

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Incorporating burn probability into spatial prioritization of woodland caribou habitat restoration
Abstract Introduction Habitat disturbance is a major driver of population declines of woodland caribou in Canada. Habitat restoration is a critical component of a successful, long‐term approach to caribou recovery; however, with limited resources, it is important to target areas where restoration efforts will provide maximum benefits to caribou.
