PLoS ONE, 2013 Three main reproductive strategies have been described among insects: most common oviparity, ovoviviparity and viviparity. In the latter strategy, the embryonic development takes place within the body of the mother which provides gas exchange and ...

Tempo and mode of performance evolution across multiple independent origins of adhesive toe pads in lizards [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding macroevolutionary dynamics of trait evolution is an important endeavor in evolutionary biology. Ecological opportunity can liberate a trait as it diversifies through trait space, while genetic and selective constraints can limit ...

Changing Feeding Levels Reveal Plasticity in Elasmobranch Life History Strategies
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.We analysed life history traits of 151 elasmobranch species for two contrasting feeding levels in a principal components analysis. Two axes, reproductive output and generation turnover, structure elasmobranch life history strategies. Wefound that species' positions in this life history space are dynamic, shifting towards higher reproductive output as ...

Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna
Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 592-606, August 2025.We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...

The chloride channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) controls cellular quiescence by hyperpolarizing the cell membrane during diapause in the crustacean Artemia [PDF]
, 2019 Cellular quiescence, a reversible state in which growth, proliferation, and other cellular activities are arrested, is important for self-renewal, differentiation, development, regeneration, and stress resistance.

Retention Bans Are Beneficial but Insufficient to Stop Shark Overfishing
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 473-487, May 2025.ABSTRACT Sharks are among the most threatened groups of exploited fishes, comprising common bycatch across many fisheries. Management efforts intended to safeguard threatened species have increasingly focused on retention bans to reduce bycatch mortality. However, the population effects of such measures remain unevaluated across species.
