Allometric Constraint Predominates Over the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis in a Radiation of Neotropical Treefrogs. [PDF]
Integr ZoolMale frogs emit calls to attract mates and deter conspecific rivals. The evolution of these calls is thought to be linked to anatomical constraints and the acoustic characteristics of their surroundings. We tested these two factors in a radiation of 112 species of Neotropical treefrogs and found that body size and calling site affect peak frequency but

Applying the zoo model to conservation of threatened exceptional plant species
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1416-1425, December 2020., 2020 Abstract Maintaining a living plant collection is the most common method of ex situ conservation for plant species that cannot be seed banked (i.e., exceptional species). Viability of living collections, and their value for future conservation efforts, can be limited without coordinated efforts to track and manage individuals across institutions. Using
