One ubiquitous pattern of organismal form that has long fascinated biologists is the covariation of seemingly unrelated traits across the body. This has led many to study phenotypic integration - the tendency of a biological or developmenta...

Most animals have a complex life cycle that allows organisms to evolve distinct phenotypes at different life stages, termed developmental or adaptive decoupling. Support for developmental decoupling has been found in a wide range of morphol...
No clean slates at metamorphosis: Do environmental legacies shape evolutionary outcomes in amphibians? [0.03%]

Developmental environments shape trait expression in ways that often persist into, or only become evident during, later stages of an organism's life. These "carry-over" effects are well documented across taxa, even in species that undergo d...

Aerial flocks of birds provide striking examples of collective behaviour, yet how flock structure responds dynamically to environmental context remains poorly understood. Such flocks are particularly vulnerable to predation, and interaction...

Locomotion and fluid pumping near surfaces are ubiquitous in nature, ranging from the slow crawling of snails to the rapid flight of bats. This study categorizes these behaviors based on the Undulation number (Un) and Reynolds number (Re). ...
Downchirp echo from a stationary water surface wave field accompanying whirligig beetle (Gyrinidae) [0.03%]
静止水面波动场中的回下频音及其伴随的水龟虫(圆叶甲科)的行为观测研究

Chris Roh
To investigate the hypothesis that the whirligig beetle utilizes a water surface-wave analog of echolocation, we analyzed the stationary capillary-gravity wave field generated during its high-speed swimming (>23 cm/s) at the air-water inter...
Integrating complex environments to reveal integrated phenotypes by cryptic developmental plasticity [0.03%]
复杂环境的整合揭示隐藏的发育可塑性产生的表型集成

Phenotypic integration can be studied at different biological levels and is often interpreted from developmental and/or functional perspectives. Increasing literature recognizes the role of developmental plasticity revealing novel complex a...
Integrating field capture and flight tunnel analysis to study echolocation-guided flight in bats [0.03%]
整合现场捕捉和飞行隧道分析以研究蝙蝠的回声定位引导飞行

Understanding how bats coordinate echolocation and flight in cluttered environments requires methodological approaches that bridge field observation and controlled laboratory analysis. Here we present an integrated research framework develo...
A Framework for Estimating Climate Change Vulnerability Based on Conditional Relationships [0.03%]
一种基于条件关系的气候变化脆弱性评估框架
Isabella Burger,Eric Riddell
Isabella Burger
Identifying the drivers of species' vulnerability to climate change is a key question at the intersection of ecology, physiology, and evolution. Climate vulnerability estimates are often composed of three subcomponents: exposure, sensitivit...
Morphological relationships of pectoral and dorsal spines of invasive blue catfish, Ictalurus furcatus, over ontogeny [0.03%]
蓝猫鱼(Ictalurus furcatus)胸鳍和背鳍刺的形态关系及其发育过程中的变化规律

K A Galloway
Blue catfish, Ictalurus furcatus, are an invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay region, known to be opportunistic predators that overlap in habitat with many valuable commercial and recreational native species. The goal of this study was to...
