Birdsong as an Indicator of Habitat Structure and Quality
Ecology and EvolutionABSTRACT Birdsong is a complex and highly flexible sexual signal that plays a crucial role in intra‐ and intersexual communication. Various aspects of the surrounding habitat can influence birdsong; for example, birds may modify their songs to enhance acoustic transmission, or males in high‐quality territories ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Habitat-Specific Foraging of Prothonotary Warblers: Deducing Habitat Quality [PDF]
The Condor, 2005 Abstract Foraging behavior often reflects food availability in predictable ways. For example, in habitats where food availability is high, predators should attack prey more often and move more slowly than in habitats where food availability is low.

Multiple habitat associations: the role of offsite habitat in determining onsite avian species density [PDF]
, 2012 Many animal populations continue to decline despite occurring in protected areas or on sympathetically managed sites. Frequently, this is because a specific habitat patch may not fulfil all the niche requirements of a threatened species.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.
