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 impact of egg incubation temperature on the personality of oviparous reptiles [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2016 Personality traits, defined as differences in the behavior of individual animals of the same species that are consistent over time and context, such as 'boldness,' have been shown to be both heritable and be influenced by external factors, such as predation pressure.

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.

Frontiers in Zoology, 2019 Background Onychophorans, commonly known as velvet worms, display a remarkable diversity of reproductive strategies including oviparity, and placentotrophic, lecithotrophic, matrotrophic or combined lecithotrophic/matrotrophic viviparity.

Transgenerational Plasticity of Maternal Hemolymph Trehalose in Aphids
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 1, January 2025.Maternal hemolymph trehalose influences aphid transgenerational plasticity and adaptation to environmental stress. Higher trehalose levels in winged aphids are associated with increased trehalose levels in the offspring, potentially aiding resilience.

The Role of Progesterone in the Reproductive Physiology of Females of Viviparous Squamata
ReceptorsProgesterone (P4) regulates diverse reproductive processes across vertebrates through nuclear receptors; however, its mechanisms in squamate reptiles—particularly in viviparous species—remain poorly understood.

THE EVOLUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES IN ANIMALS – IMPLICATIONS FOR THERIOGENOLOGY
Slovenian Veterinary ResearchReproduction is one of the fundamental biological imperatives shared by all living beings. Organisms must reproduce to pass on their genes to the next generation, ensuring the survival and continuation of their species.
