Sexual dimorphism (SD), the divergence of secondary sexual traits between males and females within a species, can arise from diverse evolutionary forces, such as natural selection, mate choice, and intrasexual competition. Allometric scalin...
Multiple cranial pathologies in spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta [0.03%]
冠斑鬣狗(Crocuta crocuta)的多种颅面病变

Nikolaos Kargopoulos et al.
Spotted hyaenas are generally considered to have resilience against injuries and pathogens, and the incidence of pathologies is scarcely reported. However, it is important for ecological studies and conservation efforts to have a clear over...
Altitude is correlated with body size differences among Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) wasps collected in two mountain ranges [0.03%]
高山对两种松毛虫寄生蜂体型的影响研究

Lina V Lozano-Morales et al.
Living at high altitudes impose physiological and ecological challenges to which species may respond altering their body size, body proportions, and the shape of their body parts. Despite the importance of this topic for understanding the o...
Experimental adaptation to pathogenic infection ameliorates negative effects of mating on host post-infection survival in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
实验适应病原感染可缓解交配对黑腹果蝇感染后存活的负面影响

Sexual activity (mating) negatively affects immune function in various insect species across both sexes. In Drosophila melanogaster females, mating increases susceptibility to pathogenic challenges and encourages within-host pathogen prolif...
Lactating striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis) do not decrease the thermogenic capacity to cope with extreme cold temperature [0.03%]
哺乳条纹仓鼠（Cricetulus barabensis）不会降低产热能力来应对极寒温度
Wei Liu,Sha-Sha Liao,Meng-Huan Bao et al.
Wei Liu et al.
For small non-hibernating mammals, a high thermogenic capacity is important to increase activity levels in the cold. It has been previously reported that lactating females decrease their thermogenic activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT), w...
A new type of spermiogenesis in teleost fish: Formation of the aflagellate sperm in Campylomormyrus compressirostris (Osteoglossomorpha: Mormyridae) [0.03%]
鱼类（骨舌鱼次系：电鳗科）一类新的精子发生类型：C.compressirostris无鞭毛精子的形成
Anna M Dymek,Frank Kirschbaum,Ralph Tiedemann et al.
Anna M Dymek et al.
Osteoglossomorpha, the bony tongue fishes, show great variation in morphology, behavioural strategies, reproductive biology and gamete ultrastructure. The order Osteoglossiformes is the only vertebrate taxon, in which four types of sperm (m...
Growing out of the fins: Implications of isometric and allometric scaling of morphology relative to increasing mass in blue sharks (Prionace glauca) [0.03%]
鳍中的生长：蓝鲨（Prionace glauca）质量增加时形态等比例和非等比例放大的影响
Scott G Seamone,Phillip C Sternes,Theresa M McCaffrey et al.
Scott G Seamone et al.
Disproportional changes (i.e. allometry) in shark morphology relative to increasing body size have been attributed to shifts in function associated with niche shifts in life history, such as in habitat and diet. Photographs of blue sharks (...
The morphology of the branchial skeleton of heterocongrines (Anguilliformes: Congridae) and its relation to their diet [0.03%]

Members of the subfamily Heterocongrinae (Congridae) are a peculiar group of anguilliform eels that construct sandy borrows, form large colonies, and are popularly recognized as garden eels. They live with most of their bodies inside self-c...
Spotting mistakes: Reappraisal of Spotted Drum Stellifer punctatissimus (Meek & Hildebrand, 1925) (Teleostei: Sciaenidae) reveals species misidentification trends and suggests latitudinal sexual dimorphism [0.03%]
识别错误：重新评估星点鼓鱼（Spotted Drum，Stellifer punctatissimus Meek & Hildebrand, 1925）(辐鳍鱼纲：鼓鱼科)物种误鉴定的趋势并提出纬度性二型性的假说

A major part of the described species is understudied, falling into the Linnean shortfall. This is a major concern for cryptic species, which require integrative approaches to better evaluate their diversity. We conducted morphological anal...
