Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

First Vasectomy Procedure Successfully Performed on a Southern African Male Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
First successful vasectomy in a southern African male giraffe, Giraffa camelopardis giraffa ABSTRACT This study reports the first successful vasectomy on a southern African male giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa). The goal of the procedure was to create a teaser male for reproductive studies.

Molecular analysis of 3D domain swapping in the acylphosphatase from Escherichia coli

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
Structures of the monomer and intertwined dimer of the acylphosphatase from E. coli shed light on the molecular basis of its 3D domain swapping.Three‐dimensional domain swapping is a mechanism by which proteins form oligomers. At present, the molecular basis that dictates whether some proteins fold in their monomeric form or as intertwined oligomers is

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Local climate and genetic influence on intraspecific variation in torpor physiology of a cave‐roosting bat

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many small endotherms employ torpor as a survival strategy to reduce energy expenditure during periods with low food availability and cold temperatures. The expression and physiology of torpor can vary substantially within species because of phenotypic plasticity and ...
