Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
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

High‐Altitude Adaptation of Frogs (Case Study: Nanorana parkeri): From Physiological Phenotypes to AltitudeOmics

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High altitudes are challenging for the animals that inhabit these environments. The Xizang plateau frog (Nanorana parkeri) survives in high‐altitude environments through a synergistic strategy of metabolic remodeling and protein expression adjustment to optimize energy efficiency and enhance cellular protection.

Overwintering van zwartvruchtrot

open access: yes, 2007
Zwartvruchtrot wordt veroorzaakt door de schimmel Stemphylium vesicarium. De geslachtelijke vorm is Pleospora allii. De schade die de ziekte kan veroorzaken is groot. Dit heeft tot gevolg dat de telers veel spuiten omdat ze hun gewas ziektevrij willen houden.

Protection of Overwintering Aphid Parasitoid, Lysiphlebia japonica [Hym.: Aphidiidae] [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Tonghua County is located in the Changbaishan mountain area where there are about 130 days yearly with average temperature below 0ºC and the lowest temperature can reach - 35ºC. To understand the natural survival of overwintering Lysiphlebia japonica, we

The Wonder Years: A Demographic Approach to Revisit the Age‐at‐Size Conundrum in Amphibians

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined repeated body size measurements of marked individuals of unknown age throughout their adult life with growth records of individuals marked as postmetamorphic juveniles and recaptured years later as sexually mature adults, focusing on 10 amphibian species in central Spain.

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)

Beneath the buzz: Quantifying nest locations and densities of ground‐nesting wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila)

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Wild bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) are important pollinators and essential for maintaining ecosystem health. The majority of bee species are ground‐nesting, and all bees spend most of their lifetime inside the nest.
