Beyond Sexual Selection: Natural Selection Related Camouflage and Thermoregulation Shape Sexual Color Dimorphism in Diploderma Lizards

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Evaluation of cover crops in high tunnel vegetable rotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Organic vegetable production within high tunnels allows for an extended growing season, crop protection, and environmental control. The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards mandate evidence that the soil has been maintained and improved over the

Reviewing the effects of food provisioning on wildlife immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and negatively influence their responses to infection.

Identification of Autologous Tissue Sources and Optimization of a Treatment Method for Intraoperative Manufacturing of Heart Valve Constructs

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The use of autologous connective tissue, such as pericardium or peritoneum, combined with controlled tissue treatment, has the potential to result in a more durable heart valve prosthesis than current commercial prostheses. ABSTRACT Introduction Valvular heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Current biological and mechanical

The Effect of Heterospecific Song and Anthropogenic Sound on the Development of Life History Traits in a Field Cricket

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
We raised fall field crickets in acoustic environments of silence, their own song, traffic noise, or the song of the recently introduced Japanese burrowing cricket and measured development, size, and adult survival. We found that crickets reared with burrowing cricket song developed more quickly than crickets reared in silence.

Linkage mapping reveals sex-dimorphic map distances in a passerine bird [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Linkage maps are lacking for many highly influential model organisms in evolutionary research, including all passerine birds. Consequently, their full potential as research models is severely hampered.

Whole rice in japanese quails’ diet

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2014
A trial was conducted to evaluate the use of dehulled and unpolished whole rice in Japanese quails’ diet. A total of 100 80-days-old Japanese quails (149.07 ± 10 g) were distributed in five treatments: 0% dehulled and unpolished whole rice (control diet based on corn and soybean meal), 20, 40, 60, and 80% of whole rice in replacement of corn ...

Exterior quality of Japanese quails egg from brown and black japanese quail crosses

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract This research was conducted to determine the exterior quality of brown and black Japanese quail crosses. Two hundred Japanese quails were divided into four types of lines as treatments: male brown VBC1 and female black VBC2 (BL1), male brown VBC2 and female black VBC1 (BL2), male black VBC1 and female brown VBC2 (LB1) and male ...
