Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Frayed Rope and Resilient Threads: Fijian Healthcare and the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In April 2021, Fiji faced international scrutiny due to ‘horrific’ hospital conditions, including staff and patients lacking food, non‐operational operating theatres, and critical shortages of beds, medicine, and equipment. After successfully avoiding a major outbreak in 2020, a sudden surge in COVID‐19 cases in 2021 overwhelmed the public ...

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
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 ...
