Sexual Size Dimorphism in Multiple Traits: An Integrative Perspective in Several Anuran Species

Sexual dimorphism is a fascinating phenomenon that showcases the wide variation of characteristics related to life strategies in organisms. It is driven by two key evolutionary processes: sexual selection and natural selection.

Agricultural Fungicide Mancozeb in Leaf Litter Enhances Survival and Growth of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mancozeb is one of the most widely used agricultural fungicides, exhibiting strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. However, its widespread application comes at the cost of environmental contamination. Here, we show the effects of Inga vera leaf litter contamination with Mancozeb on life‐history traits of Aedes ...

Beyond abundance: the impact of sampling design on effective population size estimates in capercaillie

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Effective population size (Ne) is a useful parameter to evaluate the long‐term viability of populations. While obtaining enough field data from wild populations to estimate Ne directly is challenging, molecular techniques applied to non‐invasive samples provide an appealing alternative.

Evaluating machine learning models for multi‐species wildlife detection and identification on remote sensed nadir imagery in South African savanna

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
This research paper investigates the efficacy of leading machine learning (ML) models for detecting and identifying ungulate species in African savanna using nadir imagery from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Traditional aerial counting methods, while widely used, suffer from significant limitations in accuracy and precision, in part due to human ...

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Evaluation of the Sex and Species Distribution, Breeding, and Life Expectancy of Zoo‐Housed Chameleons

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than a third of the 202 identified chameleon species are classified as “vulnerable” or “critically endangered”. No data is available regarding the life expectancy of chameleons kept in zoos. The objectives of this study were to determine the sex and species distribution of chameleons kept in zoological institutions, and to assess their ...
