Freshwater biodiversity suffers when dams are constructed. It is important to evaluate how these changes take place, to what level they impact. In this review, we summarized the effects of the Indrapuri Dam's construction on fish biodiversi...
Myliobatid Ray Gliding Dynamics: Experimental Tests of Body Shape and Tail Length on Stability [0.03%]
犁鼻鲼科鱼类滑翔动态研究：身体形状和尾部长度对稳定性的实验测试
S B Cooper,C F White,G V Lauder et al.
S B Cooper et al.
Myliobatid stingrays (eagle, cownose, and manta rays) swim using oscillatory locomotion, flapping their pectoral fins for propulsion while relying on their elongated tails for stability. During swimming, myliobatids often exhibit gliding be...
Testing the Limits: Functional Strengths and Weaknesses of Poacher (Agonidae) Armor [0.03%]
以食鱼鬼科鱼类为例测试其鳞片的防御功能上限
L E Martinez,M L Vandenberg,K E Cohen et al.
L E Martinez et al.
Dermal armor serves a variety of functions across animal lineages including defense, offense, display, and prehension. Small differences in armor structure, plate size, or overlap may complement large differences in behavior or ecology. We ...
State-Dependent and Social Modulation of Circulating Glucocorticoids in a Nomadic Songbird, the Red Crossbill (Loxia Curvirostra) [0.03%]
旅鸟红十字鸟（Loxia curvirostra）的状态依赖性和社会调节的循环糖皮质激素水平研究

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide a scalable model for engaging students in authentic scientific inquiry, bridging core biological concepts with real-world environmental applications. We introduce a new CURE la...
Early Developmental Decline in HSP Expression Affects Subsequent Response to Transient Heat Exposure [0.03%]
早期发育期间HSP表达下降影响其后对瞬时热暴露的响应
C R Warren,M B Wilken,J M Rollins et al.
C R Warren et al.
Understanding physiological responses to short-term changes in temperature is of growing interest considering the rising frequency and severity of transient temperatures such as heat waves. During the embryonic development of egg-laying ver...
Use of Nonconventional Sample Matrices for Endocrine Studies of Pit Vipers: Assay Validation and Applications [0.03%]
非常规样本矩阵在游蛇科毒蛇内分泌研究中的应用：测定方法验证及应用研究

Species of filter-feeding invertebrates are exposed to natural oil droplets or petroleum oil droplets in water, and many species feed on these droplets. Here, we investigate oil droplet capture by benthic tunicates. We used videography, dis...
The Internal Otic Region of Oromerycids (Artiodactyla, Oromerycidae), Early Camelids (Artiodactyla, Camelidae), and the Vicuña (Artiodactyla, Camelidae), Including Notes on Intraspecific and Subadult Ontogenetic Variation [0.03%]
关于副蹄下目的副蹄犀科、早期的骆驼科（包括小羊形态）及原驼的内耳结构研究，附注个体间和亚成体发育差异的说明
S V Robson,A Prokop,C N Baird et al.
S V Robson et al.
The taxonomic composition of the suborder Tylopoda is an ongoing debate. Recently, the internal otic region (petrosal and bony labyrinth) has been intensively studied as a source of additional morphological data, but the morphology of this ...
