Ecophysiology of an Avian Invader: Body Condition and Metabolic Rate Adjustments to Ambient Temperature

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study examines the ecophysiological responses of common waxbills to temperature variation in Portugal. We measured body condition and basal metabolic rate (BMR) during summer and winter across two regions in Portugal. Body condition was negatively correlated with temperature, while the relationship between BMR and temperature varied seasonally. In

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...

Behavioral, Ecological, and Morphological Data Suggest a Close Relationship Between the Ant Colobopsis truncata and the Gall Wasp Aphelonyx cerricola

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.
