Temporal stability of an endemic Mexican treefrog [PDF]
The demographic characteristics of an amphibian population fluctuate independently over time, mainly in response to the temporal variation of environmental factors, especially precipitation and temperature.

Parasite infections in a social carnivore: Evidence of their fitness consequences and factors modulating infection load [PDF]
There are substantial individual differences in parasite composition and infection load in wildlife populations. Few studies have investigated the factors shaping this heterogeneity in large wild mammals or the impact of parasite infections on Darwinian ...

Belowground Distribution and Abundance of Botrychium Gametophytes and Juvenile Sporophytes
Abstract A significant portion of the stages of the life history of Botrychium, the gametophyte and juvenile sporophytes, are spent belowground. Surveys were conducted to determine the distribution and abundance of belowground gametophytes, juvenile sporophytes and gemmae of eight species of Botrychium.

Do epigeal termite mounds increase the diversity of plant habitats in a tropical rain forest in peninsular Malaysia? [PDF]
The extent to which environmental heterogeneity can account for tree species coexistence in diverse ecosystems, such as tropical rainforests, is hotly debated, although the importance of spatial variability in contributing to species co-existence is well

Genetic Diversity and Potential Function of Microbial Symbionts Associated with Newly Discovered Species of Osedax Polychaete Worms [PDF]
We investigated the genetic diversity of symbiotic bacteria associated with two newly discovered species of Osedax from Monterey Canyon, CA, at 1,017-m (Osedax Monterey Bay sp. 3 "rosy" [Osedax sp. MB3]) and 381-m (Osedax Monterey Bay sp.

Distribution, abundance, and microhabitat characterization of small juvenile corals at Palmyra Atoll [PDF]
Juvenile corals are an important component of the population dynamics of corals, but little is known about the ecology and natural history of their early life-history stages. In demographic surveys, small juvenile corals are often grouped with larger and older corals or overlooked entirely due to their small size and cryptic nature.
