Developmental stage ordering yields greater cranial mineralization sequence resolution than embryo size or days since oviposition: A case study using the gekkotan Eublepharis macularius (Blyth, 1854)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We employ a set of leopard gecko embryos for which size, day of development, and developmental stage are known to assess which timetable accords with the greatest resolution of cranial mineralization events. Developmental staging yielded the best outcome. Abstract Mineralization sequences of cranial elements (often referred to as ossification sequences)

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Year‐round colony‐level differences in foraging behaviour and diel activity of yellow‐legged gulls from natural and urban colonies

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
GPS‐tracked yellow‐legged gulls from urban (Porto) and natural (Berlenga) colonies showed contrasting foraging strategies. Urban gulls remained near cities and followed human routines, while natural gulls foraged farther and used marine habitats. Abstract Urbanisation has led to increased populations of opportunistic species like gulls, driven by the ...
