Time domains of the hypoxic ventilatory response in ectothermic vertebrates [PDF]
Over a decade has passed since Powell et al. (Respir Physiol 112:123-134, 1998) described and defined the time domains of the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) in adult mammals.

ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

Social transmission of avoidance among predators facilitates the spread of novel prey [PDF]
Warning signals are an effective defence strategy for aposematic prey, but only if they are recognized by potential predators. If predators must eat prey to associate novel warning signals with unpalatability, how can aposematic prey ever evolve?

Abstract Emerging infectious diseases can cause rapid, widespread host mortality, and the lack of demographic data before and after pathogen emergence complicates understanding mechanisms of host persistence. This challenge is further compounded by environmental conditions that influence host behavior, while driving pathogen growth and virulence. These

Pond frog as a predator of hornet workers: High tolerance to venomous stings
Abstract Some animals use stingers to repel attackers, and some predators have evolved tolerance to such stings, enabling them to consume venomous prey. For example, social wasps, such as hornets, use modified ovipositors as venomous stingers to inject venom, which can cause intense pain in humans.
