Sexual conflict as a constraint on asexual reproduction: an empirical review. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Theory predicts that facultatively asexual animals, which can leverage the advantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, should outcompete obligately sexual and obligately asexual animals. Yet, paradoxically, obligate sexual reproduction predominates in many animal lineages, while the most flexible form of facultative asexuality (i.e ...

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light-emitting diode properties. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Spermathecal Variation in Temperate Opiliones [PDF]
Integrative And Comparative Biology, 2020 Synopsis Most arachnid fertilization occurs internally, allowing for a variety of post-copulatory mechanisms to take place. Females are expected to exert some level of control over sperm fate when (1) the point of gametic fusion is particularly distant from the point of oogenesis, (2) the time of syngamy is significantly later than the ...

ZooKeys, 2019 The taxonomic diversity of the Opiliones fauna of Canada is reviewed and summarised. At present, 36 native and seven non-native species have been documented in Canada using traditional morphological taxonomy, although more than 20 species may remain undiscovered based on species diversity in the adjacent United States and evidence from DNA barcoding ...

The first fossil cyphophthalmid harvestman from Baltic amber [PDF]
, 2011 The first fossil cyphophthalmid harvestman (Opiliones: Cyphophthalmi) from Palaeogene (Eocene) Baltic amber is described. This is only the third fossil example of this basal harvestman lineage; the others being from the probably slightly younger ...

Succession in harvestman (Opiliones) communities within an abandoned sand quarry in Belgium [PDF]
, 2017 Sand mining strongly alters the existing landscape, transforming an area into a mosaic of native (sand deposits) and foreign soils, strongly influencing biotic development.
