As fast as a hare: Did intraspecific morphological change bring the Hallands Väderö Island population of Lepus timidus close to interspecific differences in less than 150 years? [0.03%]

The study of insular variation has fascinated generations of biologists and has been central to evolutionary biology at least since the time of Wallace and Darwin. In this context, using 3D geometric morphometrics, I investigate whether the...
Replacement of fangs in a free-ranging desert viperid, Cerastes vipera [0.03%]
撒哈拉沙漠角蝰(Cerastes VIPERA)的换毒牙现象

Itay Tesler et al.
Venomous viperid snakes possess relatively large and fragile hollow fangs that are an integral part of the envenomation apparatus for predation. We hypothesized that fangs serve like disposable needles and predicted a high loss rate and, he...

Early development is highly susceptible to environmental influence. We evaluated the role of larval visual environment on brain morphology plasticity in late larval and juvenile stages of Bombina orientalis, an anuran amphibian changing fro...
Influence of microhabitat use on morphology traits of three species of the Anolis sericeus complex (Squamata: Dactyloidae) in Mexico [0.03%]

The relationship between microhabitat use and morphology in Anolis lizards has been well studied in the Caribbean islands. However, studies of ecomorphology are scarce for the vast majority of mainland Anolis species. Thus there is a great ...
Reliability of steatocrit as an indicator of intestinal health in young birds - Relationships with morphology and growth rate of canary Serinus canaria nestlings [0.03%]
作为衡量鸟类肠道健康的指标,脂柱层可靠吗?- 金丝雀(Serinus canaria)幼鸟的形态和生长率关系的研究

Pedro Miguel Araújo et al.
Intestinal health and capacity to efficiently absorb nutrients from diet, including fat, has been recently suggested as a promising physiological health indicator in wild birds, due to its association with gut parasitism and feather colorat...
The eggs and nymphs of predatory stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae): what do we know? [0.03%]
捕食性蝽科卵和若虫(半翅目:蝽科:拟步行亚科)的研究进展如何?

Ricardo Brugnera et al.
The Asopinae are known for their predatory behavior, differing from the phytophagous habits of most pentatomoids, feeding mostly on soft body insects such as larvae of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. For this reason, asopines have been studied ...
Morphometric analyses of sexual dimorphism in sound-emitting structures in adults of the bess beetle Vindex agnoscendus (Coleoptera: Passalidae) [0.03%]

In insects, the sexually dimorphic body size, color, and horns are very conspicuous. Other not so obvious characteristics, such as behavioral traits related to reproduction, are also dimorphic (courtship dances and sounds). Among these, the...
Genetic characterization of nuclear export factor NXT1 and its paralog NXT2 in primates and murine rodents [0.03%]
灵长类和鼠科动物中核输出因子NXT1及其旁系同源物NXT2的基因特征分析

Jia Hu et al.
Translocation of RNA across the nuclear envelope relies on transport receptors. Receptor nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2)-like export protein 1 (NXT1 [also called p15 or p15-1]) shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm of metazoan cells ...
