Proximity to metal mining is related to aspects of feather coloration but not fluctuating asymmetry in the Russet‐crowned Motmot (Momotus mexicanus) in south‐central Mexico

open access: yesIbis, Volume 165, Issue 2, Page 587-601, April 2023., 2023
Mining is present in all major biomes worldwide and overlaps strongly with areas of importance for bird conservation. Mining causes multiple types of environmental disturbance, including habitat alteration, increased human presence and persistent heavy metal pollution. Feather coloration and fluctuating asymmetry (random deviation from perfect symmetry

Wet and dry extremes reduce arthropod biomass independently of leaf phenology in the wet tropics

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 308-323, January 2023., 2023
Although two‐thirds of terrestrial vertebrates consume insects and spiders, how changing rainfall regimes will affect arthropods remains poorly understood. Using spatiotemporal variation in tropical montane climate as a natural experiment, we show arthropod biomass maxima at intermediate rainfall as 3 months of both wet and dry extremes reduced ...

Pigment molecular composition reveals significant information for visual communication

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2756-2762, November 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Melanins are the most common pigments in vertebrates and, as such, fufill multiple adaptive functions, including honest signalling. This is the case of male pied flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca, whose dorsal plumage, composed of black and grey feathers pigmented by ...

Polimorfismos de nucleótido simple (PNSs) del gen MC1R en alpacas negras y marrones

open access: yesRevista Peruana de Biología, 2021
En alpacas los fenotipos del color de vellón tienen diferentes terminologías que induce a una confusión dentro del color marrón y sus tonalidades, el que requiere de una mejor descripción y cuantificación. En consecuencia los objetivos del estudio fueron
