Acoustic communication in anurans is energetically costly and constrained by environmental factors, especially in open savanna ecosystems where extreme temperature fluctuations, desiccation risks, and wind-induced noise pose significant cha...
Jewel beetles, Buprestidae, modulate bright structural colours by multileveled optical engineering and surface sculpting [0.03%]

The elytra and pronotum of numerous Buprestidae, or jewel beetles, are brightly coloured due to stacked chitin and melanin plates that together act as optical multilayer reflectors. The difference in refractive index of chitin and melanin r...
E122Q rhodopsin: pigment microspectrophotometry, photoreceptor light responses, and bleaching adaptation [0.03%]

When the rhodopsin visual pigment of vertebrate rods absorbs light, photoisomerization of its 11-cis retinal chromophore to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change, ultimately leading to the formation of metarhodopsin II (meta II...
Greater Japanese horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus nippon) gradually converge their echolocation call frequency to colony members [0.03%]

In bats using CF-FM echolocation calls, CF component frequencies vary among colonies, across geographic regions, and between sexes. In this study, we investigated frequency changes of the second harmonic of the CF component (CF2), which is ...

One of the most peculiar behaviors of rodents is tail-rattling, a rapid vibration of the tail which can produce a rattling sound when performed against a hard surface. Tail-rattling is widespread across rodents, having been observed in 32 s...

Morpho butterflies are widely known for their striking blue colourations, which are produced by multilayered ridges of the wing scales. Several Morpho species have a flashing iridescence, but others have a more diffuse display owing to curv...
Nightly changes in neural activity and auditory processing of song control neurons depend on melatonin [0.03%]

Birdsong, as many complex behavioral patterns, needs to be acquired, maintained and adjusted throughout life. In songbirds, these tasks are held by a specialized neural network, the song control system. Nightly sleep has been shown to be hi...
Spatial and spectrotemporal features of noise alter female responses to costly male signals in Cope's gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) [0.03%]
噪声的空间特征和声谱特性可改变雌性对灰树蛙(Cope'sgreytreefrog,Hyalata)雄性求偶鸣声的反应

In anuran choruses, where many males call simultaneously, females must identify attractive conspecific signals amid high levels of background noise. We tested whether spatial separation between signals and noise (spatial release from maskin...

Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), also known as black soldier fly (BSF), offers an important sustainable approach to waste management and resource recovery, since its larvae can reduce organic waste volumes, transform them into bi...

Big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) pups are born naked, blind, and with closed external ear canals. We examined the ears of newborn bat pups (n = 82; 42 females) and found that in a majority of pups (80%), the ear canals open asymmetrically. ...
