Studies of suites of correlated behavioral traits (i.e., behavioral syndromes) aid in understanding the adaptive importance of behavioral evolution. Behavioral syndromes may be evolutionarily constrained, preventing behaviors from evolving independently,

Evidence for inbreeding depression in a species with limited opportunity for maternal effects [PDF]
It is often assumed that mating with close relatives reduces offspring fitness. In such cases, reduced offspring fitness may arise from inbreeding depression (i.e., genetic effects of elevated homozygosity) or from post-mating maternal investment.

Parasites alter host community structure in a natural experiment
Parasites can alter host communities in complex ways, but empirical data from natural systems are rare. This study decomposes the effects of an invasive parasite on natural communities of fish in Trinidad, revealing the direct, indirect, and context dependence of the invasion on host demographic rates and community structure.

HYPOPHYSECTOMIE DE POECILIA RETICULATA (POISSON TÉLÉOSTÉEN) [PDF]
Une technique d'hypophysectomie par voie operculaire particulièrement simple et rapide, est décrite chez le Guppy Poecalia reticulata. La pénicilline administrée pendant la cicatrisation diminue la mortalité postoperatoire.A quick easy surgical technique of hypophysectomy using opercular approach is described in the Guppy Poecilia reticulata.

The capacity to compensate for environmental change determines population persistence and biogeography. In ectothermic organisms, performance at different temperatures can be strongly affected by temperatures experienced during early development.

A further cost for the sicker sex? Evidence for male-biased parasite-induced vulnerability to predation [PDF]
Males are typically the sicker sex. Data from multiple taxa indicate that they are more likely to be infected with parasites, and are less ‘tolerant’, or less able to mitigate the fitness costs of a given infection, than females.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

A Tetraploid Amazon Molly, Poecilia formosa [PDF]
Polyploidization is thought to be an important driving force in evolution as it increases the genetic material on which mutation and selection can act. In the Amazon molly, Poecilia formosa, triploid genotypes can be found in the field and frequently arise from diploid breeding stocks, a tetraploid individual, however, was so far never documented. Here,
