The Andes, with its diverse topography and climate, is a renowned cradle for adaptive radiation, particularly for vertebrate ectotherms such as lizards. Yet, the role of temperature …
The present study was aimed to assess the effect of temperatures on egg incubation, growth, standard metabolic rate (SMR), and thermal tolerance of a near threatened Himalayan hill …
Amphibians and fishes play a central role in shaping the structure and function of freshwater environments. These organisms have a limited capacity to disperse across different habitats …
Few organisms have contributed more to our understanding of ecology, evolution, and behavior than freshwater viviparous fishes (Meffe and Snelson, 1989; Uribe and Grier, 2005 …
Freshwater sulfide springs have extreme environmental conditions that only few vertebrate species can tolerate. These species often develop a series of morphological and molecular …
