Seasonality drives body size variation in a widely distributed Neotropical treefrog
(2020-01-01)
It is well known that body size variation can be related to genetic and environmental factors and that this variation may occur among species, and among and within populations. Scinax fuscomarginatus is a widely distributed ...

(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz., 2020)
Morpho-physiological analysis of the insect fat body: A review
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2010-07-01)
The insect fat body is the main organ of the intermediate metabolism of insects. The majority of proteins of the haemolymph is synthesized in this tissue, which also presents the functions of lipids, carbohydrates and ...

Differential scaling of locomotor performance in small and large terrestrial mammals
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2002)
It has been observed that the relationship between
locomotor performance and body mass in terrestrial
mammals does not follow a single linear trend when the entire range of body mass is considered. Large taxa tend to ...
Relationship between body size and flying-related structures in Neotropical social wasps (Polistinae, Vespidae, Hymenoptera)
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Body size influences wing shape and associated muscles in flying animals which is a conspicuous phenomenon in insects, given their wide range in body size. Despite the significance of this, to date, no detailed study has ...
Assessing the measurement invariance of a Latin-American Spanish translation of the Body Appreciation Scale-2 in Mexican, Argentinean, and Colombian adolescents
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
In order to advance in the study of positive body image among different cultures, it is important to create culturally appropriate measures. We examined the psychometric properties of a Latin-American Spanish translation ...
Food bodies in Cissus verticillata (Vitaceae): ontogenesis, structure and functional aspects
(Oxford University Press, 2009-02-01)
The distinction between pearl bodies (or pearl glands) and food bodies (FBs) is not clear; neither is our understanding of what these structures really represent. The present work examined the ontogenesis, structure, ...
