Zeyu Zhu et al.
The survival of ectotherms worldwide is threatened by climate change. Whether increasing temperatures increase the vulnerability of ectotherms inhabiting temperate plateau areas remains unclear. To understand altitudinal variation in the vu...
Sexual differences in bite force are not related to testosterone level in the wild-derived red junglefowl [0.03%]

Bite force is an important performance indicator of individual fitness that is closely related to food acquisition, male competition, and mating selection. It is also affected by a variety of factors and different mechanisms. Therefore, it ...
Intra-annual variation in oak masting affects wildlife feeding behavior [0.03%]
橡树一年内的结实波动影响野生动物的取食行为
Kelsey M Demeny,E Hance Ellington,Kellie M Kuhn et al.
Kelsey M Demeny et al.
Oaks (Quercus spp.) provide an important food source for many wildlife species throughout the fall and winter. Most research evaluating oak masting patterns and the subsequent behavioral responses of wildlife focuses on the annual temporal ...
Stress conditions extend maternal care and delay juvenile development in crayfish [0.03%]
应激状况延长了鳌虾的母亲照顾时间并延迟了幼年期发育

Davinder Kaur et al.
Maternal care in crayfish has been extensively studied, but little is known of its response to environmental factors. We studied the duration of maternal care and its association with the juvenile development of marbled crayfish Procambarus...
Male juvenile golden snub-nosed monkeys acting as the mountee to receive grooming in their same-sex mounts [0.03%]
雄性幼年金丝猴作为骑副接受同性骑跨中的梳理行为
Pengzhen Huang,Julie A Teichroeb,Endi Zhang et al.
Pengzhen Huang et al.
Same-sex mounts provide male juvenile golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) with opportunities to practice heterosexual copulatory skills and are often followed by grooming (post-mounting grooming, PMG). We hypothesized that j...
Rain-harvesting behavior in free-ranging prairie rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis) [0.03%]
自由放养的草原响尾蛇(Crotalus viridis)的集雨行为

Organisms inhabiting arid environments face challenges to obtain dietary water. To prevent desiccation, some organisms possess unique adaptations to harvest water from infrequent and unpredictable rainfall, including several squamates (snak...
The influence of the post-autotomy regeneration of a sexual trait and mating tactics in a fiddler crab [0.03%]
断肢后再长对雄性招潮蟹的一个性征及交配战术的影响
Pablo D Ribeiro,Nahuel E Farías,Emiliano H Ocampo et al.
Pablo D Ribeiro et al.
Male fiddler crabs own an enlarged claw which is a weapon and an ornament. The enlargement of this claw begins from the juvenile stage and continues throughout life. Males may voluntarily lose (i.e., autotomize) this claw. After several mol...
Sexually differentiated decision-making involves faster recruitment in the early stages for the Tibetan antelopes Pantholops hodgsonii [0.03%]
藏羚羊(Pantholops hodgsonii)性二型决策涉及早期更快的募集速率
Qin Zhu,Jian Guan,Tianya Lei et al.
Qin Zhu et al.
Group living is widespread across diverse taxa, and the mechanisms underlying collective decision-making in contexts of variable role division are critical for understanding the dynamics of group stability. While studies on collective behav...
Evolutionary factors and habitat filtering affect the pattern of Gerbillinae diversity [0.03%]
进化因素和生态位过滤影响鼠兔类多样性分布模式
Yaqian Cui,Jilong Cheng,Zhixin Wen et al.
Yaqian Cui et al.
How ecological and evolutionary factors affect small mammal diversity in arid regions remains largely unknown. Here, we combined the largest phylogeny and occurrence dataset of Gerbillinae desert rodents to explore the underlying factors sh...
