Effects of temperature gradient on functional fruit traits: an elevation-for-temperature approach
Fruit traits mediate animal-plant interactions and have to a large degree evolved to match the sensory capacities and morphology of their respective...

Molecular evolution of the mitochondrial genome underlies semi-aquatic adaptation in lutrinae
Lutrinae, which contains 13 otter species, is a semi-aquatic subfamily. They reclaimed semi-aquatic environments as their habitat. As aquatic...

Spatial and seasonal patterns of temperature lapse rate along elevation transects leading to treelines in different climate regimes of the Himalaya
There are growing evidences that indicate the Himalayan region is warming rapidly with more warming in high elevation areas. The elevation-dependent...

Not all woods are equal: local, rather than landscape, factors are important to conserve a xylosaprophagous hoverfly
Among the many forest-dwelling invertebrates, saproxylic species play a key role in decomposition and nutrient cycling. Several saproxylic insects...

First trials exploring the potential of phytoseiid mites in managing lychee erinose mite, Aceria litchii (Keifer) (Acari: Eriophyidae), infestations on lychee plants
Phytoseiid mites have been frequently found in association with the lychee erinose mite, Aceria litchii , on lychee plants in Brazil, suggesting that...

A matter of time not of co-occurrence: temporal partitioning facilitates coexistence between coyotes (Canis latrans) and gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in temperate forests of Mexico
Sympatric species reduce competitive interactions by segregating their ecological niche as a strategy that promotes coexistence. The main dimensions...

Speciation happens in company – not in isolation
Oceanic islands are considered the classic arenas for allopatric speciation and adaptive radiation. Established concepts of speciation and endemism...
