Maternal effects, maternal body size and offspring energetics: A study in the common woodlouise Porcellio laevis
(2007)
What are the consequences of the natural variation in maternal body mass on offspring energetic performance? How are performance traits related to thermal physiology and energetics phenotypically integrated on offspring? ...
Introducing the Body-QoL((R)): A New Patient-Reported Outcome Instrument for Measuring Body Satisfaction-Related Quality of Life in Aesthetic and Post-bariatric Body Contouring Patients
(Springer, 2016)
To develop a new patient-reported outcome instrument (PRO) to measure body-related satisfaction quality of life (QoL).
Standard 3-phase PRO design was followed; in the first phase, a qualitative design was used in 45 ...
Multi-trait GWAS using imputed high-density genotypes from whole-genome sequencing identifies genes associated with body traits in Nile tilapia
(BMC, 2021)
Background: Body traits are generally controlled by several genes in vertebrates (i.e. polygenes), which in turn
make them difficult to identify through association mapping. Increasing the power of association studies ...
Altitude, heredity and body proportions in northern Chile
(1979)
Recent studies of the effects of hypoxia on human growth and adult size have focused mainly on the variability of single measurements. In this paper we explore changes with altitude and ethnicity (Spanish‐Aymara ancestry) ...
Scaling and power-laws in ecological systems
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2005-05)
Scaling relationships (where body size features as the independent variable) and power-law distributions are commonly reported in ecological systems. In this review we analyze scaling relationships related to energy ...
Chemoreception and the assessment of fighting abilities in the lizard Liolaemus monticola
(BLACKWELL, 2006-10)
When an individual faces the risk of a conflict, its ability to make 'correct' decisions is crucial to its fitness. Research on decision making has focused mainly on visual and acoustic signals, while chemical signals have ...
Seasonal Flexibility in Organ Size in the Andean Lizard Liolaemus moradoensis
(WILEY-LISS, DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2010-10-21)
The understanding of animal functioning
in fluctuating environments is a major goal of physiological
and evolutionary ecology. In temperate terrestrial habitats,
one of the most pervasive changes in environmental
conditions ...
Allometry of locomotor organs and sexual size dimorphism in the mygalomorph spider Grammostola rosea (Walckenaer, 1837) (Araneae, Theraphosidae)
(Amer Arachnological Soc, 2016)
Although sexual size dimorphism is a widely observed phenomenon in nature, the selective forces that led to it are still controversial. Here we study sexual dimorphism in the static allometry of the legs of a large ground ...
