Extinction and morphospace occupation: A critical review
Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023 Processes of extinction, especially selectivity, can be studied using the distribution of species in morphospace. Random extinction reduces the number of species but has little effect on the range of morphologies or ecological roles in a fauna or flora ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 Conditioned place preference (CPP) is used to measure the conditioned rewarding effects of a stimulus, including food, drugs, and social interaction. Because various analytic approaches can be used to quantify CPP, this can make direct comparisons across

Neuron, 2015 Extinction serves as the leading theoretical framework and experimental model to describe how learned behaviors diminish through absence of anticipated reinforcement. In the past decade, extinction has moved beyond the realm of associative learning theory and behavioral experimentation in animals and has become a topic of considerable interest in the ...

Contributions from population genetics to ecotoxicology and stress ecology in light of transformation to the population genomic era [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 With the advent of the genomic era, which has partly been driven by advances in stress ecology, there is enormous growth in molecular and computer simulation techniques.

Early evolution of beetles regulated by the end-Permian deforestation
eLife, 2021 The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) led to a severe terrestrial ecosystem collapse. However, the ecological response of insects—the most diverse group of organisms on Earth—to the EPME remains poorly understood.

Are extinction opinions extinct? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Extinction models vary in the information they require, the simplest considering the rate of certain sightings only. More complicated methods include uncertain sightings and allow for variation in the reliability of uncertain sightings. Generally extinction models require expert opinion, either as a prior belief that a species is extinct, or to ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Facilitation of fear extinction is a desirable action for the drugs to treat fear-related diseases, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We previously reported that a selective agonist of the δ-opioid receptor (DOP), KNT-127, facilitates ...

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2022 This paper is concerned with a modified Leslie–Gower and Holling-type II two-predator one-prey model with Lévy jumps. First, we use an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process to describe the environmental stochasticity and prove that there is a unique positive ...

Successful eradication of invasive American bullfrogs leads to coextirpation of emerging pathogens
Conservation Letters, 2023 Interventions of the host–pathogen dynamics provide strong tests of relationships, yet they are still rarely applied across multiple populations. After American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) invaded a wildlife refuge where federally threatened Chiricahua ...

Shrunken Life: Discourses of the Cryptic and the Miniature in Madagascar
eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics, 2021 As scientists scour remnant habitats and “unmask” cryptic species with DNA barcoding, a boom of species discovery has enchanted the world. In Madagascar, recent discoveries of previously unknown miniature frogs, chameleons, and lemurs often photographed
