Volumetric versus Element-scaling Mass Estimation and Its Application to Permo-Triassic Tetrapods [0.03%]
体积定标与元素定标质量估算及其在二叠- triassic时期四足动物中的应用

Size has an impact on various aspects of an animal's biology, including physiology, biomechanics, and ecology. Accurately and precisely estimating size, in particular body mass, is therefore a core objective of paleobiologists. Two approach...
Embodied Computational Evolution: A Model for Investigating Randomness and the Evolution of Morphological Complexity [0.03%]
具身计算进化：用于探究随机性和形态复杂性进化的模型
E Aaron,J H Long Jr

For an integrated understanding of how evolutionary dynamics operate in parallel on multiple levels, computational models can enable investigations that would be otherwise infeasible or impossible. We present one modeling framework, Embodie...
Risky Business: Predator Chemical Cues Mediate Morphological Changes in Freshwater Snails [0.03%]
风险与生意：捕食者的化学线索介导淡水螺的形态变化
M J Wagner,P A Moore
M J Wagner
Many prey organisms respond to the nonconsumptive effects of predators by altering their physiology, morphology, and behavior. These inducible defenses can create refuges for prey by decreasing the likelihood of consumption by predators. So...
The Physiological and Biochemical Response of Ribbed Mussels to Rising Temperatures: Benefits of Salt Marsh Cordgrass [0.03%]
温度升高对槽壳贻贝生理生化响应的影响及互花米草的缓解效应
A Smith,J Erber,A Watson et al.
A Smith et al.
Salt marsh ecosystems are heavily reliant on ribbed mussel (Geukensia demissa) populations to aid in rapid recovery from droughts. The focus of this study was thus to document the effects of rising temperatures on ribbed mussel populations ...
Variable Craniofacial Shape and Development among Multiple Cave-Adapted Populations of Astyanax mexicanus [0.03%]
墨西哥盲Mexican blind cavefish多个地穴适应种群的颅面形态和发育多样性

Astyanax mexicanus is a freshwater fish species with blind cave morphs and sighted surface morphs. Like other troglodytic species, independently evolved cave-dwelling A. mexicanus populations share several stereotypic phenotypes, including ...
Jumping Performance and Behavior of the Globular Springtail Dicyrtomina minuta [0.03%]
极小球珠弹尾甲的跳跃性能和行为学研究
A A Smith,J S Harrison
A A Smith
Springtails are among the most abundant arthropods on earth and they exhibit unique latch-mediated spring-actuated jumping behaviors and anatomical systems. Despite this, springtail jumps have not been well described, especially for those w...
Effects of Habitat and Fruit Scent on the Interactions between Short-tailed Fruit Bats and Piper Plants [0.03%]
栖息地和果实气味对短尾果蝠与 Piper 植物互作的影响
S Sil,F Visconti,G Chaverri et al.
S Sil et al.
Piper is a mega-diverse genus of pioneer plants that contributes to the maintenance and regeneration of tropical forests. In the Neotropics, Carollia bats use olfaction to forage for Piper fruit and are a main disperser of Piper seeds via c...
Variation and Variability in Skeletal Ossification of the Gray Short-tailed Opossum, Monodelphis domestica [0.03%]
灰矮袋鼠骨骼骨化的变异性和变异性：Monodelphis domestica模型中的发育和表观遗传因素的影响

E D McParland et al.
Chewing kinematics are well-documented in several mammal species with fused mandibular symphyses, but relatively understudied in mammals with an unfused symphysis, despite the fact that more than half of extant Mammalia have an unfused mand...
Substrate Interactions and Free-Swimming Dynamics in the Crayfish Escape Response [0.03%]
蝲蛄逃避反应中的底质相互作用与自由游动动力学现象分析
L X de Pablo,A Carleton,Y Modarres-Sadeghi et al.
L X de Pablo et al.
The caridoid or "tail flip" escape behavior of decapod crustaceans is a model system in neurobiology, but many aspects of its biomechanics are not well understood. To understand how the freshwater virile crayfish Faxonius virilis interacts ...
