Ectotherms that maintain thermal balance in the face of varying climates should be able to
colonise a wide range of habitats. In lizards, thermoregulation usually appears as a variety …

Brilliant, diverse colour ornaments of birds were one of the crucial cues that led Darwin to
the idea of sexual selection. Although avian colouration plays many functions, including …

Insects sustain key ecosystem functions, but how their activity varies across the day–night
cycle and the underlying drivers are poorly understood. Although entomologists generally …

Exercise training may be an effective tool for promoting growth and production efficiency in
finfish aquaculture. Yet, changes in growth and feed conversion ratios (FCR) following …

Increased understanding of how mechanical thinning, prescribed burning, and wildfire affect
subsequent wildfire severity is urgently needed as people and forests face a growing wildfire …

Despite a wealth of studies documenting prey responses to perceived predation risk,
researchers have only recently begun to consider how prey integrate information from …

Submerged plants inhibit algae through shading effects, nutrient competition, allelopathy,
and combinations of these mechanisms. However, it is unclear which mechanism is …

Soils are under the threat of a multitude of anthropogenic factors affecting the complex
interplay of various physical and hydrological soil processes and properties. One such factor …

On a global scale, organisms face significant challenges due to climate change and
anthropogenic disturbance. In many ectotherms, developmental and physiological …

Variation in herbivore pressure has often been predicted from patterns in plant traits
considered as antiherbivore defences. Here, we tested whether spatial variation in field …
