Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 222, Issue 1, June 2026.
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been

Plant functional diversity does not dilute virus infection, but community virus prevalence positively correlates with net C3 grass production

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study examines if plant functional diversity dilutes plant virus prevalence in grass hosts and evaluates how virus prevalence influences net community and host production. Functional diversity did not mitigate or amplify virus prevalence. While we found that species relationships between virus prevalence and production varied, overall, virus ...

Phylogenetic conservatism in the relationship between functional and demographic characteristics in Amazon tree taxa

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 181-198, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Leaf and wood functional traits of trees are related to growth, reproduction, and survival, but the degree of phylogenetic conservatism in these relationships is largely unknown.

Meristic co‐evolution and genomic co‐localization of lateral line scales and vertebrae in Central American cichlid fishes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
We dissect the co‐evolution and genetic architecture of lateral line scale counts and vertebrae numbers in Neotropical Heroine cichlids. Our phylogenetic comparative analyses recovered a positive correlation between these two traits. Furthermore, our qualitative traits locus (QTL) analyses identified significant genomic co‐localized associations for ...

Diversidad genética de Ucides occidentalis (Ortmann 1897) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachiura) basada en el gen 16S ARNr en Tumbes, Perú

open access: yesScientia Agropecuaria, 2018
El cangrejo del manglar Ucides occidentalis es una especie clave en el manglar pues recicla hasta el 84% de su hojarasca, así también es el cangrejo más explotado en la región Tumbes, tanto así que su población se ha reducido drásticamente, hasta 35,8 ...

Thermal plasticity has higher fitness costs among thermally tolerant genotypes of Tigriopus californicus

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 7, Page 1562-1577, July 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under climate change, ectotherms will likely face pressure to adapt to novel thermal environments by increasing their upper thermal tolerance and its plasticity, a measure of thermal acclimation. Ectotherm populations with high thermal tolerance are often less thermally

Leveraging whole‐genome sequencing to estimate telomere length in plants

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Changes in telomere length are increasingly used to indicate species' response to environmental stress across diverse taxa. Despite this broad use, few studies have explored telomere length in plants. Thus, evaluation of new approaches for measuring telomeres in plants is needed.

Valoración genética de unidades comportamentales en una ganadería de lidia colombiana

open access: yesActa Agronómica, 2021
Se diseñó un etograma para desagregar el comportamiento del ganado de lidia, cuantificar la bravura y consolidar la selección. Se analizaron 933 hembras y 787 machos de la ganadería colombiana “Ernesto González Caicedo” (EGC), encaste Santa Coloma, en ...
