Food‐solicitation displays in nestling birds: still begging for answers

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nestling begging is a key model for understanding animal communication and parent–offspring conflict. Dynamic begging displays are often interpreted as costly, honest signals of need, with honesty maintained by viability costs, as proposed in Godfray's influential signalling model.

Cryptic species identification: a simple diagnostic tool for discriminating between two problematic bumblebee species

, 2006
Distinguishing between cryptic species is a perennial problem for biologists. Bombus ruderatus and Bombus hortorum are two species of bumblebee, which can be indistinguishable from their morphology. The former species is in decline, whereas the latter is

Distinct responses of species structural roles in multi‐trophic interactions to island area and isolation

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat loss and fragmentation reshape ecological communities and alter species interactions. However, it remains largely unknown how the roles that species play within interaction networks vary across local communities and trophic contexts in fragmented landscapes. We addressed this question using a plant–aphid–ant system sampled across 18 land‐bridge

Molecular Markers for Analyses of Genetic Diversity within the Anastrepha fraterculus Complex with Emphasis on Argentine Populations

Insects
The South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedmann) has a vast range extending from northern Mexico, through Central America, to South America where it is an extremely polyphagous pest of wild and cultivated fruits.

A mosaic of cryptic species among the family Rajidae: moving from phylogenetics to phylo-transcriptomics

, 2015
Nowadays, the cliché depicting speciation as synonym of change seems to be outdated, since more and more marine species reveal, besides analogous ecological traits, also similar morphological patterns.

Artificial intelligence and liquidation: Reality, destiny and fantasy

International Insolvency Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping the administration of corporate liquidation. Beyond its established role in financial prediction and data analytics, AI is now assisting insolvency practitioners in identifying the onset of financial distress, managing creditor communications, tracing and valuing assets and enhancing ...

Embryonic Development in Two High‐Elevation Oviparous Lizard Species: Contrasting Strategies for Coping With Cold Climates

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how species respond to local climates is crucial for predicting their responses to climate change. The cold climate of high elevations constitutes a physiological challenge for reptiles, especially during the embryonic stages of oviparous species, because embryos have limited ability to thermoregulate behaviorally. To examine how
