Ethology, EarlyView.Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Behavioral Responses of Two Common Woodland Salamanders to Novel Urban Stimuli
Ethology, EarlyView.We examined behavioral responses of the Eastern Red‐backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) and Northern Ravine Salamander (P. electromorphus) to novel urban stimuli. The Northern Ravine Salamander exhibited increased thigmotaxis in the presence of concrete pavers simulating roads and walkways.

Bromeliad selection by two salamander species in a harsh environment.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bromeliad phytotelmata are frequently used by several Neotropical amphibian taxa, possibly due to their high humidity, microclimatic stability, and role as a refuge from predators.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Here we explore the effects of elevated water conductivity on larval eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus a. alleganiensis), both lethal and sublethal. We found that elevated water conductivity significantly impacts both survival and morphology, though it has limited effects on locomotor performance, stress physiology, and oxidative stress.

Evolution of coprophagy and nutrient absorption in a Cave Salamander
Subterranean Biology, 2017 The transition from carnivory to omnivory is poorly understood. The ability to feed at more than one trophic level theoretically increases an animal’s fitness in a novel environment.

Beaver dam analogues increase amphibian breeding occupancy and bat activity
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Beavers are ecosystem engineers that can create ponds, increase stream complexity, and enhance biodiversity. To mimic these and other effects, restoration practitioners increasingly install beaver dam analogues (BDAs) in degraded streams.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We repeatedly tested 158 individual long‐tailed finches, Poephila acuticauda, of two different sub‐species and their hybrids for differences in their flight performances. Several flight performance variables were repeatable across individuals. Contrary to expectations, P. a. hecki individuals did not display superior flight performance to P.
