Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

REMARKS ON THE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE WOOD PAPER-MAKING WASPS [PDF]

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.
