Developmental Plasticity in Response to Temperature Aligns with Allen's but not Bergmann's Rule [0.03%]
对温度的表观可塑性响应与Allen规则但不与Bergmann规则一致

Increases in average global temperatures have caused researchers to revisit how species and populations are expected to respond to changing temperatures. Allen's rule and Bergmann's rule describe two ecogeographic patterns where species in ...
Using ponds and aquatic organisms to understand host-microbe-environment interactions across geographic and temporal scales [0.03%]
利用池塘和水生生物跨地理和时间尺度理解宿主-微生物-环境相互作用

Snake venoms are complex biochemical systems that function primarily in prey subjugation and defense, yet their composition varies extensively across individuals, populations, species, and environments. This variation provides a powerful fr...
Navigating urban environments reshapes dispersal traits of invasive Spotted Lanternfly [0.03%]
城市环境对入侵斑额;br>灯蛾扩散特征的重塑

Urbanization and biological invasions are two dominant drivers of global change, yet their joint effects on dispersal-related trait evolution remain poorly understood. Cities often facilitate the establishment and spread of non-native speci...

During the evolution of insect life histories, the role of juvenile hormone (JH) to sustain different developmental events shifted as insect lifestyles became more complex. In a basal, non-metamorphic species, such as Thermobia domestica, t...
A Case Study of Respiratory Rates in a Geriatric Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) with Heart Disease [0.03%]

Respiratory rate data are of interest in marine mammals due to their reliance on living in a marine environment. Polar bears (Ursus maritimus), the most terrestrial of the marine mammals, are considered old bears, or geriatric, when they re...
Integrating mechanistic and evolutionary views on phenotypic integration through hormonal pleiotropy [0.03%]
通过激素多效性整合表型集成的机制和进化观点

Organismal biologists have studied phenotypic integration from diverse perspectives that span molecular, cellular, physiological, and developmental mechanisms up through evolutionary patterns. Nonetheless, integration across these scales is...
Camouflage, behavior, and predator-prey interactions in a changing world [0.03%]
伪装、行为以及变化世界中的捕食与被捕食相互作用

Camouflage is among the most widespread visual adaptations in nature, allowing both prey and predators to remain undetected and thereby influencing the likelihood of predation success. For camouflage to be effective, multiple intrinsic fact...

Gills are a feature of many aquatic animals, serving to extract oxygen from the water and to maintain ionic balance between the bloodstream and the environment. While gills first arose in early multicellular animals, their great diversity o...
