Life history attributes influencing metabolic variation in an estuarine fish

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Considering that energy availability and oxygen transport potential are limited in supplying metabolic requirements, all animals face trade‐offs between competing metabolic demands.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

Female‐Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Its Potential Causes in Hairy‐Winged Bats

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on the integration of molecular genetics, traditional and geometric morphology, and acoustic characteristics of hairy‐winged bats (a species that was historically misclassified into two species due to extreme craniodental divergence between the sexes) in multiple regions of China, we quantified the sexual size dimorphism (SSD) between males and ...

Integrated Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Variation in Tibetan Sheep

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
SNaPshot‐validated GWAS results demonstrated significant correlations between candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and body size traits in Tibetan sheep. Concurrently, hematoxylin and eosin staining, alongside muscle fiber analysis, confirmed pronounced morphological differences in muscle tissue between sheep of varying conformation.

Optic nerve head blood flow autoregulation during isometric exercise in primary open‐angle glaucoma assessed by laser speckle flowgraphy

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To assess optic nerve head blood flow (ONHBF) autoregulation in patients with early‐ to moderate‐stage primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) and age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and isometric handgrip exercise.
