Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Wall lizards' ventral coloration undergoes cryptic ontogenetic color changes invisible without UV vision. We tracked wall lizards from hatching to one year of age. Spectrophotometry and visual modeling reveal that juveniles show a distinct UV‐enhanced white coloration that changes differently across sexes and body regions.

On‐Demand Schedules, Worker Absenteeism and Patient Dissatisfaction in Home Care Services

In this study, we examine how on‐demand scheduling affects two critical outcomes: worker absenteeism and patient dissatisfaction.
