Temporal Changes in the Climatic Predictors of Hatching Success in Leach's Storm‐Petrels

Ecology and Evolution
Climate change is rapidly altering ecosystems worldwide and can modify the demographic rates of long‐lived vertebrates. For seabirds, which rely on ocean productivity, reproductive success is particularly sensitive to climatic variability.

Maternal vibration: an important cue for embryo hatching in a subsocial shield bug. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hatching care has been reported for many taxonomic groups, from invertebrates to vertebrates. The sophisticated care that occurs around hatching time is expected to have an adaptive function supporting the feeble young.

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Hatching success of bluebirds as a function of fire ant abundance.

, 2013
Relationship between fire ant abundance and hatching success of second nests of eastern bluebirds (n = 21). Logistic regression equation (Y = e2.4788 -0.0085(fire ant abundance)/1+ e2.4788 - 0.0085(fire ant abundance)), where Y is equal to the hatching ...

Nasal soft‐tissue anatomy of Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Although ceratopsid dinosaurs possess a characteristically hypertrophied narial region, soft‐tissue anatomy associated with such a skeletal structure and their biological significance remain poorly understood. The present study provides the first comprehensive hypothesis on the soft‐tissue anatomy in the ceratopsid rostrum based on the Extant ...

Effective toxicity of pH to embryonic development of the banded lampeye killifish Aplocheilichthys spilauchen (Duméril, 1861)

Heliyon
The banded lampeye killifish, Aplocheilichthys spilauchen, feeds on larvae of the anopheles mosquito, which makes the fish a good candidate for biological control of malaria.

Hatching and emergence success in green turtle Chelonia mydas nests in the Galápagos Islands

Aquatic Biology, 2013
The interactions of numerous abiotic and biotic factors experienced by sea turtle embryos during incubation affect their survival. In this study we determined the hatching and emergence success of green turtles Chelonia mydas from nests on 4 beaches on ...

An analysis of hatching success in the great reed warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus

, 2008
Hatching success is a potentially important fitness component for avian species. Previous studies of hatching success in natural populations have primarily focused on effects of inbreeding but a general understanding of variation in hatching success is ...

Male reproductive system in stenopodidean shrimps: Unveiling basal reproductive traits in shrimp‐like Pleocyemata (Stenopodidae and Spongicolidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Stenopodidea represents one of the basal lineages within Pleocyemata, yet the male reproductive system (MRS) of this group remains poorly understood, with limited information available regarding its morphology and function. This study provides the first detailed description of the MRS in four stenopodidean shrimp species from two families ...

First report of the egg fertility of the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) (Testudines: Cheloniidae) in Melaka, Malaysia

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity
The unhatched eggs of the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) are often found in the hatchery in Melaka, Malaysia, raising concerns if the eggs remain unfertilized.
