Assessing the relative influence of island climatic and geographical factors on body size in an endangered iguana species of the French Caribbean

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study examines the influence of climatic and geographical factors on the body size of iguanas in the Lesser Antilles. We show that iguana body size increases with island size and decreases with distance from the mainland, suggesting that geographical conditions have a greater influence on body size compared to climatic conditions.

Cultural Capital Externalities: Causal Evidence From a Danish Ticket Scheme for Theatres

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governments in most of the developed world fund arts and culture. Theoretically, the arguments for doing so are based on the arts and culture being public goods or providing positive externalities. The size of the externalities for a variety of cultural goods has been empirically investigated in numerous stated preference studies. However, the

Expression patterns of melanin‐related genes are linked to crypsis and conspicuousness in a pumpkin toadlet

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Colour signals play pivotal roles in different communication systems, and the evolution of these characters has been associated with behavioural ecology, integumentary production processes and perceptual mechanisms of the species involved. Here, we present the first insight into the molecular and histological basis of skin colour polymorphism ...

Gravitropic Gene Expression Divergence Associated With Adaptation to Contrasting Environments in an Australian Wildflower

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants adapt to their local environment through complex interactions between genes, gene networks and hormones. Although the impact of gene expression on trait regulation and evolution has been recognised for many decades, its role in the evolution of adaptation is still a subject of intense exploration.

An Evolutionary Mosaic Challenges Traditional Monitoring of a Foundation Species in a Coastal Environment—The Baltic Fucus vesiculosus

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During periods of environmental change, genetic diversity in foundation species is critical for ecosystem function and resilience, but it remains overlooked in environmental monitoring. In the Baltic Sea, a key species for monitoring is the brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus, which forms sublittoral 3D habitats providing shelter and food for fish

Genomic Analysis of Hair Sheep From West/Central Africa Reveals Unique Genetic Diversity and Ancestral Links to Breed Formation in the Caribbean

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cameroon Blackbelly sheep are a domestic breed of hair sheep from West/Central Africa. They are popular with small‐holder farmers in Cameroon as they are highly resilient to local environmental challenges and are prolific a‐seasonal breeders.
