Growth Performance of Diminutive <i>Halophila ovalis</i> Seagrass Related to Substrate Condition in an Abandoned Mariculture Pond. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHalophila ovalis seagrasses clonally reproduce under both raw pond soil and open sea soil conditions in the tidal‐connected mariculture ponds. The pond soil supports a more rapid seagrass reproduction, as indicated by more leaf numbers of H. ovalis in the pond soil treatment from the 70th day onward.

Osteology of the Feeding Apparatus of Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis (Aves: Phoenicopteridae). [PDF]
J Morphol1. The skull features a broad, dorsoventrally flattened frontal region articulating with an elongated upper jaw that is complemented by the mandible's downward bend along its proximal half. 2. The low mechanical advantage in the mandible is attributed to the reduced and shallow insertion areas of the adductor muscles, which are positioned close to the ...

Effects of competition and predation risk from a life history intraguild predator on individual specialisation. [PDF]
J Anim EcolIndividual niche specialisation is widespread within animal populations and can have important ecological consequences. Predation and competition are known drivers of individual specialisation, but their combined effects are unstudied. This mesocosm experiment shows that competition and predation from a single antagonist can have variable effects on ...

Temporal changes in species richness and fish composition in a submerged vegetation habitat in Veracruz, Mexico [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2017 Background. Because estuarine fish communities undergo temporal changes in abundance and species composition, the influence of environmental factors on diel and seasonal variation in the structure of a fish community was evaluated.
