Intraspecific variation and detectability of iridescence in the dorsal coloration of a wall lizard
Wall lizards (genus Podarcis) show substantial intraspecific colour variation and iridescence, which may interact and affect overall colour appearance. Here, we set out to study iridescence in Podarcis liolepis in two localities in which lizards are known to differ in dorsal coloration. Our results show that P.

Hurricanes create major disturbances to stream ecosystems by producing large floods and removing riparian vegetation. Understanding their impacts is a priority, as hurricane intensity will increase with global climate change. Hurricane disturbance shifts mayfly assemblages from dominance by Leptophlebiidae before to Baetidae after.

In this paper we analyzed the swimming speed, effective velocity, effective displacement index (EDI) and proficiency of juvenile to adult specimens (ranging from 1.1 to 36 mm of the diagonal bell width) of the box jellyfish Carybdea marsupialis. Abstract Although usually considered part of the plankton, cubozoans are strong swimmers.

Abstract Background PGF2α is commonly given at the end of embryo flushing (EF) to shorten the interval to the next oestrus and ovulation. Objectives To determine the effect of repeated EF on plasma progesterone concentration, percentage of mares with endometritis, unwanted pregnancy and subsequent fertility in mares flushed without the use of PGF2α ...

Vulnerability of Eastern Tropical Pacific chondrichthyan fish to climate change
This assessment identifies sharks' vulnerability to climate change in a data‐poor tropical region and suggests management actions. Abstract Climate change is an environmental emergency threatening species and ecosystems globally. Oceans have absorbed about 90% of anthropogenic heat and 20%–30% of the carbon emissions, resulting in ocean warming ...

Our results highlight the importance of remnant native forest to provide multiple ecosystem functions and the potential to restore them and complement these uses with sustainable agriculture. By merging landscape and ecosystem approaches we provide specific numbers regarding the proportion that each land use should have in order to maximise ...

Identifying the foraging grounds of the new loggerhead turtle nesters in the western Mediterranean
Abstract The western Mediterranean Sea has traditionally served as a primary foraging ground for juvenile loggerhead turtles from three distinct regional management units: the North‐western Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Cape Verde. Nesting activities were sporadic.
