Demography Meets Climate Change: Life History Challenges for a Neotropical Viviparous Lizard

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Considering the current biodiversity crisis, it is crucial to understand the impact of global environmental changes on natural populations. Analyzing demographic parameters from long‐term studies is the most effective approach to uncovering patterns that

Warped Functional Analysis of Variance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This article presents an Analysis of Variance model for functional data that explicitly incorporates phase variability through a time-warping component, allowing for a unified approach to estimation and inference in presence of amplitude and time ...

Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Development and Reproduction of Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae): The Effect of Temperature, Origin and Food

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Nymphal development took longer at 25°C than 30°C, and the Greek N. tenuis population developed more slowly than the commercial population. Nymphs clearly preferred E. kuehniella eggs over Artemia sp. cysts when both were offered equally. Egg production increased at 30°C, while female longevity declined.

Physiological implications of the bone histology of Syntarsus rhodesiensis (Saurischia: Theropoda) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Femora of Syntarsus rhodesiensis specimens of differing ontogenetic stages were sectioned and prepared for histological study. Features such as the structure of the cortical bone tissue, the degree of vascularisation and haversian substitution, and the ...

Perspectives on the Effect of Incubation Temperature on Pine Snake Hatchlings

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Effect of timing of egg‐laying and incubation temperature on the possible phenology of events for early egg‐laying females (laying June 15, the earliest laying date), the mid‐laying date (July 4), and late egg‐laying females (July 17, the latest egg‐laying date). Based on data from many papers.

A Review of Phage Therapy for Aquaculture Applications: Efficacy, Health Ramifications and Research Challenges

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
Bacteriophage therapy is characterised by numerous advantages, facilitating its diverse aquaculture application and efficacy as an antibiotic alternative mitigating the spread of antimicrobial‐resistant pathogens. Contributing to the modern reappraisal of the aquaculture application of bacteriophage therapy, challenges impeding its widespread ...
