Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Mammalian colors and color patterns are some of the most diverse and conspicuous traits found in nature and have been widely studied from genetic/developmental and evolutionary perspectives. In this review we first discuss the proximate causes underlying variation in pigment type (i.e., color) and pigment distribution (i.e., color pattern) and ...

The Intertwined Evolution and Development of Sutures and Cranial Morphology
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Phenotypic variation across mammals is extensive and reflects their ecological diversification into a remarkable range of habitats on every continent and in every ocean. The skull performs many functions to enable each species to thrive within its unique

American Zoologist, 1967 This paper centers on selected—and particularly, little recognized— problems in mammalian olfaction: (1) With certain exceptions the spacing of the external nares in most mammals does not favor orientation in an odor gradient by simultaneous comparisons of odor intensities (tropotaxis).

Molecular identification of Mazama species (Cervidae: Artiodactyla) from natural history collections [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Natural history museum collections constitute an invaluable patrimony of biological diversity for analysing the taxa distribution and evolution. However, it is very common to discover taxonomic misidentification in museum collections based on incorrect ...

Predation Pressure on Sentinel Insect Prey along a Riverside Urbanization Gradient in Hungary
Insects, 2020 Urbanization is one of the most important global trends which causes habitat reduction and alteration which are, in turn, the main reasons for the well-documented reduction in structural and functional diversity in urbanized environments.

Evolution, 1960 The therapsids are usually placed in the class Reptilia as its most mammal-like representatives. This is on the basis of the now commonly accepted criteria of jaw-ear structure, where mammals are defined as having (1) a dentary-squamosal suspensorium, (2) the articularquadrate joint not a mandibular suspensorium, (3) three middle ear bones, and (4) the

Can Cognitive Ability Give Invasive Species the Means to Succeed? A Review of the Evidence
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Invasive species are a global conservation problem that have an enormous economic cost. Understanding the attributes of invasive species and what makes them successful at colonizing and flourishing in novel environments is therefore essential for ...
