Why is there no impact of the host species on the cold tolerance of a generalist parasitoid? [PDF]
, 2017 For generalist parasitoids such as those belonging to the Genus Aphidius, the choice of host species can have profound implications for the emerging parasitoid. Host species is known to affect a variety of life history traits.

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...
