Culturable bacterial flora of juveniles of Pelophylax ridibundus (Pallas, 1771) and influence of abiotic factors on diversity
This study aims to determine the bacterial flora on the skin surface of the juvenile forms of Pelophylax ridibundus inhabiting three different...

Algal blooms as a reactive dynamic response to seasonal perturbation in an experimental system
Algal blooms are typical of many aquatic freshwater ecosystems in seasonal environments. Such blooms could derive from transient reactive dynamics of...

Sex, mate guarding, and reproductive state as potential modulators of herbivory in an aquatic consumer
Sex-specific nutritional requirements, mating behavior, and parental care can potentially affect food selection and consumption in animals. However,...

Impact of meltwater flow intensity on the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of microbial mats in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
The meltwater streams of the McMurdo Dry Valleys are hot spots of biological diversity in the climate-sensitive polar desert landscape. Microbial...

Planktonic Centric Diatoms (Bacillariophyta, Coscinodiscaceae) of the Cheboksary Reservoir, Russia
AbstractIn 2013–2020, a total of 29 species and varieties of centric diatoms belonging to 28 genera have been found in the phytoplankton of the...

Behavioral habitat selection of wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) in boreal forests
Habitat selection is critical to informing wildlife management and conservation. However, different behaviors require the use of different habitat...

Estimating microbial mat biomass in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica using satellite imagery and ground surveys
Cyanobacterial mat communities are the main drivers of primary productivity in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. These microbial communities form...

Why didn’t the caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) cross the winter road? The effect of industrial traffic on the road-crossing decisions of caribou
Populations of barren-ground caribou have declined steeply due to the combined effects of climate change, natural fluctuations, human harvest, and...

Rapid adjustment of cone opsin expression profiles may help Western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) maintain foraging efficiency in distinct light environments
Vertebrates rely on two special groups of photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the retina to receive visual information. Five opsin families in...

Prey adaptation along a competition-defense tradeoff cryptically shifts trophic cascades from density- to trait-mediated
Trophic cascades have become a dominant paradigm in ecology, yet considerable debate remains about the relative strength of density- (consumptive)...

Size is not everything: differing activity and foraging patterns between the sexes in a monomorphic mammal
AbstractAnimals balance foraging with other activities, and activity patterns may differ between sexes due to differing physical requirements and...
