Is rainfall seasonality important for reproductive strategies in viviparous Neotropical pit vipers? A case study with Bothrops leucurus from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(British Herpetol Soc, 2014-04-01)
Two populations of the Neotropical lancehead Bothrops leucurus were studied in two locations in Brazil (Espirito Santo, ES, and Bahia, BA) with different rainfall seasonality patterns. The timing of reproduction was very ...
Flexible and conservative features of social systems in tufted capuchin monkeys: comparing the socioecology of Sapajus libidinosus and Sapajus nigritus
(WILEY-BLACKWELLMALDEN, 2012)
Socioecological models assume that primates adapt their social behavior to ecological conditions, and predict that food availability and distribution, predation risk and risk of infanticide by males affect patterns of ...
Stem and leaf hydraulics of congeneric tree species from adjacent tropical savanna and forest ecosystems
(Springer, 2008-12)
Leaf and stem functional traits related to plant water relations were studied for six congeneric species pairs, each composed of one tree species typical of savanna habitats and another typical of adjacent forest habitats, ...
Hypophysis Size Evolution in Chiroptera
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2019-05-05)
The hypophysis influences biological functions in mammals at various levels, and its volumetric variation in Chiroptera is recently well known. We explored the relation of the hypophysis size as a whole (Hyp) and its ...
Decoupled evolution of foliar freezing resistance, temperature niche and morphological leaf traits in Chilean Myrceugenia
(British Ecological Society, 2014)
1. Phylogenetic conservatism of tolerance to freezing temperatures has been cited to explain the tendency
of plant lineages to grow in similar climates. However, there is little information about
whether or not freezing ...
