A call to integrate non‐visual functions of pigments and their interactions with visual functions to understand global change impacts on visual systems

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal coloration serves a variety of visually related functions in nature (e.g. mate choice, aposematism and camouflage) but the pigments in integumentary tissues such as skin, scales and feathers may also serve functions unrelated to the visual environment (e.g ...

Are you a dragonfly?

, 2001
Ofrece información a los niños más pequeños a través del ciclo de vida de una libélula. Cuando el lector mira la vida desde la perspectiva de una libélula le permite ampliar su comprensión por estos animales. El texto informativo que sigue a partir de la pregunta de si es una libélula lleva a los niños a imaginarse cómo nacer, qué comer, cómo crecer, y

Tracking large bees in open landscapes with active radio tags—Advantages and challenges using stationary receivers

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Studying the spatial ecology of ecologically relevant species supports the development of effective conservation strategies. Recent technological advancements in remote tracking methods now enable researchers to study large flower‐visiting insects and important pollinators, such as carpenter bees.

Demography and Behaviour of Teinopodagrion oscillans (Odonata: Megapodagrionidae) in a Protected Area of the Colombian Andean Region

Insects
The demography and behaviour of Teinopodagrion oscillans was studied in a protected area in the Andean region of Colombia. Adult damselflies were individually marked, and using their recapture histories, we estimated survival, longevity, sex ratio, and ...

Urban developmental environments alter tadpole phenotypes depending on origin

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Urbanisation has rapidly altered the ecological and evolutionary contexts for many species. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment with frog larvae, we find that urban environments can alter morphological, developmental and behavioural traits at both ecological and evolutionary scales.
