Léa Lorrain-Soligon et al.
Animal species exhibit a wide range of coloration and patterns, which are under strong selection and often linked to individual quality, influencing mate choice, recognition, signaling, and interspecific interactions such as predator avoida...

Spatial and trophic ecology of the estuarine Little Tern Sternula albifrons [0.03%]
小型燕尾鸥的生态位及其在河口生态系统中的作用
Lara R Cerveira,Jorge M Pereira,Sara N Veríssimo et al.
Lara R Cerveira et al.
Little Terns Sternula albifrons are estuarine birds extensively using increasingly urbanized coastal areas. Given the increased exposure of these ecosystems to anthropogenic activities, it is crucial to study the ecology of this species and...
How citizen science helps to expand the distribution and describe predictors related to a native land snail, while also introducing spatial biases [0.03%]
公民科学如何帮助扩展一种本土陆生螺类的分布并描述其相关预测因素，同时引入空间偏差
Rodrigo M Barahona-Segovia,Persy Gómez,Belén Céspedes-Parada et al.
Rodrigo M Barahona-Segovia et al.
Although mollusks represent Earth's second most diverse invertebrate group, their natural history and ecology are still scarcely known. The compilation of non-traditional data, such as those from citizen science, represents an alternative t...
Revaluation of the genetic diversity-area relationship by integrating nucleotide and haplotype diversity [0.03%]
整合核苷酸和单倍型多样性对遗传多样性和区域关系的重新评估
Ping Fan,Gang Song,Huijie Qiao et al.
Ping Fan et al.
Understanding the genetic diversity-area relationship (GAR) is essential for comprehending how species adapt to environmental changes, as genetic diversity is an indicator of a species' adaptive potential. Variation in environmental adaptat...
Behavior and survival of parasitic Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis) fledglings [0.03%]
寄生性闪亮牛鸟(Molothrus bonariensis)雏鸟的行为和存活率
Ignacio Crudele,Bruno Riovitti,Juan C Reboreda et al.
Ignacio Crudele et al.
For songbirds, the post-fledging period is critical for development and survival, as young must learn to get food, practice flying, and identify predators to become independent from their parents and disperse or migrate. Obligate avian broo...
No evidence of quantitative honest signaling in aposematic traits of the green and black dendrobatid frog Dendrobates auratus in Costa Rica [0.03%]

Aposematism is an antipredator strategy in which conspicuous coloration acts as a warning of chemical defenses to potential predators. Evidence suggests that aposematism largely functions under positive frequency-dependent selection, which ...
The more eye-like, the more intimidating-visual illusion gives new evidence for the anti-predation mechanism of eyespots [0.03%]
越像眼睛就越恐吓——视觉错觉为眼斑的防狼机制提供了新证据
Xiaoyu Long,Qiuyang Chen,Yigui Zhang et al.
Xiaoyu Long et al.
Eyespots have been shown to perform an anti-predator function by intimidating predators. However, whether predators are deterred by the eyespots' mimicking eyes of higher-order predators, or by the conspicuousness of the spots, is still bei...
