The Effects of Intraspecific Variation of Crayfish Behavior on Nutrient Cycling in Aquatic Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Human activities are rapidly altering species traits at a global scale. Yet, there remains a critical need to determine whether trait variation within species affects ecosystem responses to global change. In particular, intraspecific variation in feeding

Urban Behavioral Ecology: Lessons from Anolis Lizards.

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2018
Human-driven rapid environmental changes such as urbanization challenge the persistence of animal populations worldwide. A major aim of research in urban ecology is to unravel which traits allow animals to successfully deal with these new selective ...

Kin and multilevel selection in social evolution: a never-ending controversy? [version 1; referees: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Kin selection and multilevel selection are two major frameworks in evolutionary biology that aim at explaining the evolution of social behaviors. However, the relationship between these two theories has been plagued by controversy for almost half a ...

Reverse chemical ecology approach for the identification of an oviposition attractant for Culex quinquefasciatus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pheromones and other semiochemicals play a crucial role in today's integrated pest and vector management strategies. These semiochemicals are typically discovered by bioassay-guided approaches.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Thermoregulation strategies in ants in comparison to other social insects, with a focus on red wood ants (Formica rufa group) [v2; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/35p]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
Temperature influences every aspect of ant biology, especially metabolic rate, growth and development. Maintenance of high inner nest temperature increases the rate of sexual brood development and thereby increases the colony fitness.
