Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Urban environments pose different selective pressures than natural ones, leading to changes in animal behavior, physiology, and morphology. Understanding how animals respond to urbanization could inform the management of urban habitats.

Oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, proton conductance and reactive oxygen species production of liver mitochondria correlates with body mass in frogs [PDF]
, 2015 ody size is a central biological parameter affecting most biological processes (especially energetics) and mitochondria is a key organelle controlling metabolism and is also the cell's main source of chemical energy.

Body temperatures of modern and extinct vertebrates from ^(13)C-^(18)O bond abundances in bioapatite [PDF]
, 2010 The stable isotope compositions of biologically precipitated apatite in bone, teeth, and scales are widely used to obtain information on the diet, behavior, and physiology of extinct organisms and to reconstruct past climate.

Diurnal temperature variations affect development of a herbivorous arthropod pest and its predators [PDF]
, 2015 The impact of daily temperature variations on arthropod life history remains woefully understudied compared to the large body of research that has been carried out on the effects of constant temperatures. However, diurnal varying temperature regimes more

A Smart Camera Trap for Detection of Endotherms and Ectotherms
Sensors, 2022 Current camera traps use passive infrared triggers; therefore, they only capture images when animals have a substantially different surface body temperature than the background. Endothermic animals, such as mammals and birds, provide adequate temperature

Age and heat stress as determinants of telomere length in a long-lived fish, the Siberian Sturgeon [PDF]
, 2016 Telomeres shorten at each cell division due to the end-replication problem but also in response to oxidative stress. Consequently, telomeres shorten with age in many endotherms, and this shortening is accelerated under stressful environmental conditions.
