Multiple Signaling Functions Of Song In A Polymorphic Species With Alternative Reproductive Strategies [PDF]

, 2017
Vocal traits can be sexually selected to reflect male quality, but may also evolve to serve additional signaling functions. We used a long-term dataset to examine the signaling potential of song in dimorphic white-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia ...

Spectrometric Determination of Copper With Carbon Nanotubes

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2011
In this work, a novel and sensitive spectrometric method for determination of copper was developed with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a toner. The optimum operating conditions regarding kind of CNTs, concentration of reagents and pH were established.

On the use of ultraviolet photography and ultraviolet wing patterns in butterfly morphology and taxonomy [PDF]

, 2000
In a series of feeding experiments we found that, depending on the larval food plant species or part of food plant ingested, individuals of the blue butterfly Polyommatus icarus (Lycaenidae) exhibit broad variation of wing patterns in the ultraviolet (UV)

Sex-specific phenotypic integration: Endocrine profiles, coloration, and behavior in fledgling boobies [PDF]

, 2015
The intensity of color expression in animals plays a key role in social environments as a mechanism to signal individual capacities in competitive contests. Selective pressures for resource competition differ at different stages of life and between sexes;
