HABITAT UTILIZATION BY THE TEXAS HORNED LIZARD (PHRYNOSOMA CORNUTUM) FROM TWO SITES IN CENTRAL TEXAS [PDF]

, 2017
The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is found in a variety of habitats. Although several studies have been conducted on habitat use by this species, none have been performed in central Texas, a more mesic habitat than most of those previously ...

Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Thermoregulation mechanisms and nest size-dependent foraging behavior in the Red Wood Ant (Formica rufa)

Turkish Journal of Forestry
This study investigates how thermoregulation strategies and foraging behavior in red wood ants (Formica rufa) vary according to nest volume. The effects of these behavioral and physiological adaptations on nest microclimate and colony organization were ...

Photoplethysmography for Quantitative Assessment of Sympathetic Nerve Activity (SNA) During Cold Stress [PDF]

, 2019
The differences in the degree of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) over cutaneous blood vessels, although known to be more prominent in the periphery than the core vasculature, has not been thoroughly investigated quantitatively.

Identifying Causes of Reproductive Failure in Zoo‐Housed Bush Dogs (Speothos venaticus) to Improve Ex Situ Management

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We distributed a survey to global institutions housing bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) to collect data on factors which may affect litter survival. Information from the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) and studbook records supplemented this dataset. We found that within northern temperate regions, the number of pups reared to the age of 1

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.
