The exercise sex gap and the impact of the estrous cycle on exercise performance in mice
Scientific Reports, 2018 Exercise physiology is different in males and females. Females are poorly studied due to the complexity of the estrous cycle and this bias has created an exercise sex gap.

Oikos, EarlyView.Most insect pollinators are ectothermic and rely on external heat sources for temperature regulation. Forests, with their diverse canopy structures and sunlight penetration levels, create a mosaic of microclimates influencing these insects' behaviour.

The effect of seawater on thermoregulator centers [PDF]
Experiments were done on dogs to determine the mechanism of thermoregulation. Results show that natural seawater, injected intravenously (150, 200, and 300 cc ), causes narcosis of the thermic centers and increases temperature. Diluted seawater injection

The effect of fructose and maltodextrin vs glucose and maltodextrin formulated sports beverages on mountain-bike race performance : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Sport and Exercise Science at Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Exogenous carbohydrate improves performance during prolonged high-intensity exercise. When ingested together, fructose and glucose polymers are oxidised at rates 1.5-1.7 higher than isocaloric glucose solutions.

Oikos, EarlyView.Climate limits distribution of species and shows considerable regional variability. However, studies relating climate variation to species population growth rates in different climatic zones while accounting for species' ecological traits are scarce.

The circadian system alters thermoregulation depending on the time of day and feeding condition [PDF]
, 2009 The circadian rhythm of body temperature (Tb) is a well-known phenomenon. However, it is unknown how the circadian system affects thermoregulation. Food deprivation in mice induces a greater reduction of Tb particularly in the light phase.

Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers
Oikos, EarlyView.Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when
