Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

Prolonged photoperiod inhibits growth and reproductive functions of rohu Labeo rohita
Aquaculture Reports, 2020 Among the environmental factors, photoperiod plays an important role in growth and reproduction of fish. This study was conducted to assess the effects of photoperiod on growth of juveniles and reproductive functions of matured female rohu (Labeo rohita),

Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes [PDF]
, 2010 Ever since the first descriptions of ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria by Winogradsky in the late 1800s, the metabolic capability of aerobic ammonia oxidation has been restricted to a phylogenetically narrow group of bacteria.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Understanding rainfall‐driven physiological shifts in dung beetles is crucial to predict how climate change may affect the fitness and persistence of key insect species in tropical pastures. We compared body size, dry, lipid and muscle masses of Digitonthophagus gazella collected during dry and rainy seasons in Brazilian pastures to assess the effects ...
