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 ...
Tooth serration morphologies in the genus Machimosaurus from the Late Jurassic of Europe
(2014)
Machimosauruswas a large-bodied durophagous/chelonivorous genus of teleosaurid crocodylomorph that lived in shallow marine and brackish ecosystems during the Late Jurassic. Among teleosaurids, Machimosaurusand its sister ...
Increased natural mortality at low abundance can generate an Allee effect in amarine fish
(2014)
Negative density dependent regulation of population dynamics promotes population growth at low abundance and is therefore vital for recovery following depletion. Inversely, any process that reduces the compensatory ...
Competition and cooperationina synchronous bushcricket chorus
(The Royal Society, 2014)
Synchronous signalling within choruses of the same species either emerges from cooperation or competition. In our study on the katydid Mecopoda elongata, we aim to identify mechanisms driving evolution towards synchrony. ...
Males migrate farther than females in a differential migrant: an examination of the fasting endurance hypothesis
(The Royal Society, 2014)
Patterns of migration including connectivity between breeding and non-breeding populations and intraspecific variation in the distance travelled are important to study because they can affect individual fitness and population ...
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 ...
