Toward a Comprehensive Anatomical Matrix for Crown Birds: Phylogenetic Insights from the Pectoral Girdle and Forelimb Skeleton [0.03%]
基于胸带和前肢骨骼的冠鸟解剖矩阵的谱系新见解
A Chen,E M Steell,R B J Benson et al.
A Chen et al.
Phylogenetic analyses of phenotypic characters in crown-group birds often recover results that are strongly incongruous with the findings of recent phylogenomic analyses. Furthermore, existing morphological datasets for crown birds are freq...
Two Decapod Crustaceans, Panopeus herbstii and Petrolisthes armatus, Stabilize Their Gaze Using Achromatic Visual Cues, but Not the Angle of Linearly Polarized Light [0.03%]
两种甲壳动物利用非色觉线索而非线性偏振光的角度来稳定视线:Panopeus herbstii和Petrolisthes armatus案例研究
M Janakis,S Guirges,A C Grant et al.
M Janakis et al.
Gaze stabilization is important to animals because it allows them to visually differentiate between their own motion relative to their environment and the motion of objects within their environment. Animals can struggle to stabilize their g...
Testing for Differences in Metabolism Among Females and Dimorphic Males of Four Dung Beetle Species (Coloeoptera: Scarabaeinae) [0.03%]
四种粪金龟科物种雌性和二形雄性代谢差异的测定
A T Killeffer,J M Fleming,A Padukone et al.
A T Killeffer et al.
Both sexual and male dimorphism are common in nature, yet we have limited understanding of how different developmental pathways and reproductive strategies of morphs shape energetics. To address this gap, we examined metabolic rates of four...
Twist and Snout: Head and Body Morphologies Determine Feeding Kinematics in Substrate-Biting Fishes [0.03%]
转头与嘴:头和身体的形态结构决定固着型鱼类的取食运动学特征
Tal Perevolotsky,Jacob M Brotman-Krass,Yarden Ratner et al.
Tal Perevolotsky et al.
Across teleosts, feeding by biting substrate-attached prey has evolved multiple times and is associated with convergent morphologies that include a deep body and an elongated, tapered head. However, the functional role of these morphologies...
Camouflage, conspicuousness, and inducible color change in a polymorphic, sexually dichromatic frog [0.03%]
具有多态性和性别二色性的青蛙的隐蔽、显眼和诱导性颜色变化
R C Bell,C Irian,P J McLaughlin et al.
R C Bell et al.
Sexual dichromatism is prevalent throughout the animal tree of life and can play an important role in visual signaling and mate choice in many species. Some instances of sexual dichromatism, however, result from a combination of mechanisms ...
Regeneration and Musculature in Halved Cassiopea xamachana Ephyrae [0.03%]
横切 Cassiopea xamachana 水母ephyra阶段的再生和肌肉组织
K M Muffett,M Mammone,J Puckett et al.
K M Muffett et al.
Adult Cassiopea medusae and their polyps have been known to regenerate tissue in uncontrolled and controlled conditions; however, the regeneration capabilities of Cassiopea xamachana ephyrae are largely unexplored. Here, we detail the devel...

The steroid hormone testosterone is important for stimulating male reproductive processes including territory acquisition, mating displays, and spermatogenesis. When examining the relative effects of testosterone on reproductive processes, ...
Impacts of Endogenous Factors and Ontogenetic Stages on the Metabolic Rate of the Mediterranean Spider Crab Maja squinado (Herbst, 1788) [0.03%]
内在因素和个体发育阶段对地中海蜘蛛蟹静代谢率的影响
M-C Raffalli,J-J Filippi,J Bracconi et al.
M-C Raffalli et al.
In the Mediterranean, populations of the spider crab Maja squinado are drastically declining. As a critical step toward restoration efforts, this study investigates ontogenetic metabolic changes from larvae to adults, accounting for size, m...
