Is Sexual Dimorphism in the Immune Response of Gryllodes sigillatus Related to the Quality of Diet?
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Whereas some authors have proposed that sexual dimorphism in the immune response is fixed, others pose that it is dynamic and depends on diet. The aim of the present study was to explore the second hypothesis. Immunocompetence differences between females and males can be linked to resource availability.

Lower Cretaceous Dinosaur Tracks from Puebla, Mexico
Journal of Geological Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Dinosaur tracks have been identified near San Martín Atexcal, southern Puebla, Mexico, within the sedimentary sequence of the San Juan Raya Formation of Lower Cretaceous (Albian) age. The tracksite, located in the bed of the Magdalena River, reveals six different ichnofossiliferous levels identified within a 9 m thick sedimentary sequence. The inferred

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Foraging strategies can be influenced by many factors such as abundance, availability, and toxicity of the resources. In arid zones, the distribution and productivity of plants also act as additional factors that affect foraging strategies. Twenty colonies of Pogonomyrmex barbatus ants were studied in an arid zone of central Mexico to evaluate the ...
