Understanding what determines species distribution is a central goal in biogeography and macroecology, particularly in the context of ongoing environmental change. In this study we explored how intrinsic (biological) and extrinsic (environm...

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

Michael R Minicozzi et al.
Aquatic and amphibious fishes produce a variety of behaviors when stranded on land, including a ballistic movement called a tail-flip jump. Although recent studies have examined jump performance (distance) in several cyprinodontiform specie...

An organism's ability to produce viable offspring, or reproductive fitness, often depends on several environmental and ecological factors such as temperature, food availability and predation. Changes in these factors can act as stressors, f...
Jaw muscle architecture in the greater rhea (Rhea americana): Morphological patterns and postnatal ontogeny in an herbivorous bird [0.03%]
草原美洲鸵（Rhea americana）的咬肌形态结构：植食性鸟类的形态学特征和后天发育过程
Mariana B J Picasso,María Clelia Mosto,Alejandro M Tudisca et al.
Mariana B J Picasso et al.
The jaw muscle architecture is crucial for understanding how muscle morphology influences diet and feeding behavior in birds, yet ontogenetic scaling patterns and their characteristics in herbivorous species remain understudied. This study ...
Cryptic anatomical adaptive peak shifts and transitions along the body elongation continuum in zoarcoid fishes [0.03%]
动物沿鱼体延长连续谱的解剖学隐秘适应性峰偏移及转换——以合鳃鱼科鱼类为例

Body elongation is a major feature of ray-finned fish evolution. Elongate body shapes have arisen repeatedly across lineages and led to a phylogenetically diverse array of eel-like fishes. Despite apparent convergence in overall shape, inde...
Vertical transfer of bacterial symbionts via a placental analogue in the cyclostome bryozoan Patinella verrucaria (Stenolaemata): Ultrastructural and molecular evidence [0.03%]

Symbiotic associations with prokaryotes are common among marine filter-feeding invertebrates. In the almost exclusively colonial phylum Bryozoa, however, such associations have only been recorded in some species of the order Cheilostomata (...
