Reuven Yosef et al.
Egg size is a key determinant of reproductive success in birds, influencing nestling growth, survival, and overall fitness. For Lesser Kestrels Falco naumanni, a small raptor often supported by nest-box programs, we hypothesized that female...
Comparative functional tongue morphology in male omnivorous bogue (Boops boops) and carnivorous red porgy (Pagrus pagrus) in relation to feeding habits: A study using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and morphometric analysis [0.03%]
基于饮食习惯的鱼类刮食行为相关的舌形态差异:金线鱼和革质红石斑鱼舌的比较解剖学研究

Mohamed A M Alsafy et al.
Understanding how feeding strategies influence oral morphology is fundamental to fish functional anatomy and trophic ecology. However, comparative data on tongue structure across dietary groups remain scarce in teleosts. This study examined...

Burrowing behavior in mudskippers represents a key adaptation to intertidal environments, providing shelter from predators, buffering against temperature and salinity fluctuations, and serving as breeding sites. Despite its ecological signi...
Musculoskeletal comparison of the pectoral fin in mudskippers (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae) [0.03%]

Shifting of the locomotor mode from an aquatic thrust to a ground reaction force enabled vertebrates moving on land, which happened at the same time as fin-to-limb evolution. Early stages of this evolution are little known due to scattered ...
Bite force variation in the European pond turtle: Role of morphology, strength, body condition and population of origin [0.03%]
欧洲池龟咬合力的变化:形态、力量、体质状况和种群来源的作用

Bite force is a biomechanical trait that serves as a valuable proxy for assessing ecological interactions, feeding specialisations, and evolutionary pressures. Chelonians are a unique model system in studies of masticatory performances due ...
Flip or flop? Behavioral response to stranding in fish representing six teleost orders [0.03%]
搁浅还是翻滚?六种辐鳍鱼纲目鱼类的应激行为反应
