Pilot Investigation: Testing Opaque Water as an Agonism Mitigating Visual Barrier for Nile Crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This pilot investigation sought to evaluate the effectiveness of water opacity as an agonism‐mitigation strategy in an all‐male group of Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus). Crocodile behavior was monitored over 95 observation hours, split approximately equally between transparent water and opaque water conditions.

A call to integrate non‐visual functions of pigments and their interactions with visual functions to understand global change impacts on visual systems

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal coloration serves a variety of visually related functions in nature (e.g. mate choice, aposematism and camouflage) but the pigments in integumentary tissues such as skin, scales and feathers may also serve functions unrelated to the visual environment (e.g ...

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

A multi‐trait evaluation of patterns and fitness consequences of breeding phenology plasticity with nocturnal warming and food restriction in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Faced with climate warming, ectothermic species shift their breeding phenology, which is in part attributed to an acceleration of gestation or incubation in warmer environments.

Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,
