Inferring condition in wild mammals: body condition indices confer no benefit over measuring body mass across ecological contexts
Many studies assume that it is beneficial for individuals of a species to be heavier, or have a higher body condition index (BCI), without accounting...

Effect of sustained-release antioxidant bolus on body condition score, blood parameters, uterine health, and some reproductive parameters in transition dairy cows under heat stress condition
The transition period for dairy cows is stressful, and if this occurs during heat stress conditions, it will become more challenging for them. This...

Is body condition of Mexican rubyspot (Odonata:Zygoptera) associated with urbanization?
AbstractUrbanized areas can impose selective pressures on insects which can be identified at the individual level based on animal physiological...

Good body condition increases male attractiveness but not caring quality in a neotropical arachnid with male-only care
AbstractFemale mate choice is usually based on traits that signal male quality as a sexual partner. According to the “good parent” hypothesis, female...
