Discrete but variable structure of animal societies leads to the false perception of a social continuum
(2016)
Animal societies are typically divided into those in which reproduction within a group is monopolized by a single female versus those in which it is shared among multiple females. It remains controversial, however, whether ...
Artificial light onwater attracts turtle hatchlings during their near shore transit
(2016)
We examined the effect of artificial light on the near shore trajectories of turtle hatchlings dispersing from natal beaches. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings were tagged with miniature acoustic transmitters and ...
Coexistence of three sympatric cormorants
(2016)
Resource partitioning is well known along food and habitat for reducing competition among sympatric species, yet a study on temporal partitioning as a viable basis for reducing resource competition is not empirically ...
No early gender effects on energetic status and life history in a salmonid
(2015)
Throughout an organism’s early development, variations in physiology and behaviours may have long lasting consequences on individual life histories. While a large part of variation in critical life-history transitions ...
Effects of habitat structure and land use intensity on the genetic structure of the grasshopper species Chorthippus parallelus
(2014)
Land-use intensity (LUI) is assumed to impact the genetic structure of organisms. While effects of landscape structure on the genetics of local populations have frequently been analysed, potential effects of variation in ...
Remote sensing and conservation of isolated indigenous villages in Amazonia
(2014)
The vast forests on the border between Brazil and Peru harbour a number of indigenous groups that have limited contact with the outside world. Accurate estimates of population sizes and village areas are essential to begin ...
Are genes faster than crabs?
(2014)
Biological invasions offer unique opportunities to investigate evolutionary dynamics at the peripheries of expanding pop-ulations. Here, we examine genetic patterns associated with admixture between two distinct invasive ...
Reproduction of Pisidium casertanum in Arctic lake
(2015)
Freshwater invertebrates are able to develop specific ecological adaptations that enable them to successfully inhabit an extreme environment. We investigated the brooding bivalve of Pisidium casertanum in Talatinskoe Lake, ...
Role reversal in a predator–prey interaction
(2014)
Predator–prey relationships are one of the most studied interactions in population ecology. However, little attention has been paid to the possibility of role exchange between species, despite firm field evidence of such ...
A tale of two seas
(2014)
Elasmobranchs represent important components of marine ecosystems, but they can be vulnerable to overexploitation. This has driven investigations into the population genetic structure of large-bodied pelagic sharks, but ...
