This article presents an attempt to discriminate between human male and female hair samples using a single strand of scalp hair. The methodology involves the non-destructive application of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric anal...
New insights into endolithic palaeocommunity development in mobile hard substrate using CT imaging of bioeroded clasts from the Pliocene (Almería, SE Spain) [0.03%]
CT成像对来自上新世(西班牙东南部阿尔梅里亚)的生物侵蚀碎屑中移动硬基质内生生态系统发育的新见解

Bioeroded carbonate clasts from a Pliocene shallow-marine succession of Almería (SE Spain, Betic Cordillera) were analysed with computed tomography (CT). This revealed the detailed 3D architecture of bioerosion structures hidden within and...
Influences of sociality and maternal size on reproductive strategies: trade-offs between offspring size and quantity in five Anelosimus species (Araneae, Theridiidae) [0.03%]

In East African savannas, in the rainy season, an elephant dung bolus is usually transformed into a flat mat of dung residue within a few hours. We extracted the coprophilous beetles of a dung mat from a 1 kg bolus after a one-night exposur...
Competition through ritualized aggressive interactions between sympatric colonies in solitary foraging neotropical ants [0.03%]

Understanding the structure of food competition between conspecifics in their natural settings is paramount to addressing more complex questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation. While much research on ants focuses on aggressive food...
Harlequin frog tadpoles-comparative buccopharyngeal morphology in the gastromyzophorous tadpoles of the genus Atelopus (Amphibia, Anura, Bufonidae), with discussion on the phylogenetic and evolutionary implication of characters [0.03%]
拟水蛙蝌蚪的比较口咽形态学研究(两栖纲，无尾目，蟾蜍科)，并讨论了该特征的系统发育和进化意义

The Neotropical genus Atelopus is the most diverse genus of bufonids comprising 99 species. Tadpoles of these frogs are readily distinguished based on the presence of a belly sucker, used by them to stay attached to rocks in fast-flowing st...
Drivers of flower visit and resource sharing between the honeybee and native bees in Neotropical coastal sand dunes [0.03%]
新热带沿海沙丘中西方蜜蜂和本土蜜蜂访问花朵和资源共享的影响因素
