Rapid reproductive analysis and length–weight relation for red-bellied fusilier, Caesio cuning, and longfin emperor, Lethrinus erythropterus (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Caesionidae and Lethrinidae) from a remote village in Papua New Guinea [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2014 We present length–weight relations (LWR) and use rapid, low-cost histological methods to describe the reproductive biology of the red-bellied fusilier, Caesio cuning (Bloch, 1791), and the longfin emperor, Lethrinus erythropterus Valenciennes ...

The contribution of differential hatching success to the fitness of species and interspecific hybrids [PDF]
, 2007 Resting egg banks of microcrustaceans have been used to reconstruct the evolutionary and ecological history of species. However, recent studies provided evidence for a discrepancy between dormant propagules in the sediment and the planktonic population ...

MALDI-MS argininyl bufadienolide esters fingerprint from parotoid gland secretions of Rhinella arenarum : age, gender and seasonal variation [PDF]
, 2018 In many amphibians, the granular glands can be grouped in special regions forming macroglands. This is the case of toads, characterized by the presence of a pair of parotoid macroglands, strategically located to give protection by poison release in case ...

Foraging mode affects extinction risk of snakes and lizards, but in different ways
Conservation Letters, 2023 What factors render a species more vulnerable to extinction? In reptiles, foraging mode is a fundamental ecological dimension: some species actively search for immobile prey, whereas others ambush mobile prey. Foraging mode is linked to diet, morphology,

Sex hormone-binding globulin regulation of androgen bioactivity in vivo : validation of the free hormone hypothesis [PDF]
, 2016 Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is the high-affinity binding protein for androgens and estrogens. According to the free hormone hypothesis, SHBG modulates the bioactivity of sex steroids by limiting their diffusion into target tissues.
