In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

Drawing upon Marx's theory of the circuit of capital, we illustrate an empirical case of financialization that results from the conflict between social ...

Eels as Hosts for Parasitic Mussels: The Importance of Endangered Species Co‐Management
The ability of Unionid mussels to utilize eels as hosts has not been investigated thoroughly, particularly in Europe; therefore, we investigated the transformation success of Europe's seven most common unionid species after infestation on the European eel (Anguilla anguilla).
