Interspecific variation in cooperative burrowing behavior by Peromyscus mice [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2022 Animals often adjust their behavior according to social context, but the capacity for such behavioral flexibility can vary among species. Here, we test for interspecific variation in behavioral flexibility by comparing burrowing behavior across three ...

Low interspecific variation and no phylogenetic signal in additive genetic variance in wild bird and mammal populations [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Evolutionary adaptation through genetic change requires genetic variation and is a key mechanism enabling species to persist in changing environments. Although a substantial body of work has focused on understanding how and why additive genetic variance (

Interspecific Variation in the Inner Ear Maculae of Sharks. [PDF]
Integr Org Biol, 2023 SynopsisThere is well-documented diversity in the organization of inner ear hair cells in fishes; this variation is thought to reflect the differing functional requirements of species across a range of ecological niches. However, relatively little is known about interspecific variation (and its potential ecological implications) in the number and ...

Interspecific variation in sex-specific gustatory organs in Drosophila. [PDF]
J Comp Neurol, 2022 Abstract Drosophila males use leg gustatory bristles to discriminate between male and female cuticular pheromones as an important part of courtship behavior. In Drosophila melanogaster , several male‐specific gustatory bristles are present on the anterior

Differential water mite parasitism, phenoloxidase activity, and resistance to mites are unrelated across pairs of related damselfly species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Related host species often demonstrate differences in prevalence and/or intensity of infection by particular parasite species, as well as different levels of resistance to those parasites.

Variation and association of leaf traits for desert plants in the arid area, northwest China
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Characterizing variation and association of plant traits is critical for understanding plant adaptation strategies and community assembly mechanisms. However, little is known about the leaf trait variations of desert plants and their association with ...

Interspecific variation of phosphoglycerate kinase in drosophila [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1975 The phosphoglycerate kinase electrophoretic banding patterns of several Drosophila species were studied. 2. Three banding types were noted: A type with a slowly migrating band of activity, a type with a faster migrating band of activity, and a type with an intermediate migrating band. 3.

Toxins, 2023 Snake venoms are complex mixtures of toxins that differ on interspecific (between species) and intraspecific (within species) levels. Whether venom variation within a group of closely related species is explained by the presence, absence and/or relative ...

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2021 Increasing recognition of novel Phaeoacremonium species, and their recent taxonomic reassignment through phylogeny based on the β-tubulin and actin genes, have highlighted the presence of paraphyly, intraspecific variation, and incongruence of some ...
