Stable isotope ratios as indicators of black-throated sparrow habitat use in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, New Mexico
(2010)
As humans accelerate their alteration of the landscape, it is increasingly important to understand relationships between organisms and their environment. Stable isotope analysis is an increasingly popular tool for identifying ...
TROPHIC CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STREAM AND TERRESTRIAL FOOD WEBS
(2010)
Most animals have complex life histories (CLH) in which an individual's niche shifts through ontogeny. These organisms often cross habitat or ecosystem boundaries as they develop from larvae to adults, coupling energy ...
Ornamental nestling mouth coloration and parental care in house sparrows
(2010)
Dependent offspring across taxonomically-diverse lineages use behavioral, vocal, chemical, and morphological traits to attract parental care. Such offspring solicitations are often hypothesized to evolve as a means of ...
AN ENHANCER-TRAP AND SPLICE-TRAP SCREEN FOR REGULATORS OF ENDOCRINE FUNCTIONS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE EPITRACHEAL GLAND OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
(2010)
Peptide hormones play important roles in a wide variety of biological processes, such as learning and memory, body weight homeostasis, circadian rhythms, and addiction. In Drosophila, over 20 peptide hormones are produced ...
The ecological importance of ant colony size
(2010)
Despite the rich diversity of life, all organisms are unified by the conserved biochemical pathways that drive metabolism and govern the rate at which resources are processed and used to perform biological work. Metabolic ...
Life-history evolution in livebearing fishes (Teleostei: Poeciliidae)
(2010)
Life histories lie at the heart of biology, because the tradeoffs each organism faces concerning the distribution of limited resources into either reproduction or maintenance and growth determine that organism's fitness. ...
