Resource acquisition and allocation are central to life history theory, explaining the diversity of strategies among species as well as the distribution of events over the annual cycle. Moult is a major phase in the annual cycle of birds, but explanations for moult scheduling are heavily biased towards temperate systems with seasonal breeding patterns.

The Possible Role of Extra-ocular Photoreceptors in the Entrainment of Lobster Circadian Rhythms to Light:Dark Cycles [PDF]
The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is a decapod crustacean whose daily nocturnal rhythms of activity are driven, in part, by an internal biological clock. While this circadian clock is capable of producing a rhythm of approximately 24 hours on its

ABSTRACT The toxicity of microplastics in aquatic environments is usually due to plasticizers, the chemical additives that keep the plastic polymers together. Thus, the current study reports on the toxicity of three common plasticizers found in freshwater ecosystems and their impacts on two South African freshwater organisms at the organismal and ...

Abstract To reduce detrimental impacts of anthropogenic change, natural resource managers often look for place‐based solutions to minimize biodiversity loss. Climate‐change refugia, areas buffered from contemporary climate change, can enable the persistence of valued natural resources and prolong the benefits of conservation action.
