The role of learning, acoustic similarity and phylogenetic relatedness in the recognition of distress calls in birds
(2021-05)
Many groups of vertebrates produce distress calls when attacked by predators as a last attempt to survive. However, few studies investigate whether recognition of distress calls involves learning or acoustic similarity to ...
Convergence and divergence in anti-predator displays: A novel approach to quantitative behavioural comparison in snakes
(Oxford University Press, 2021)
Animals in nature use many strategies to evade or deter their predators. Within venomous snake mimicry, stereotyped anti-predator behaviours are hypothesized to be effective warning signals under strong selection for ...
An assessment approach for application of spermatic data in phylogenetic analyses: Within the genus Moenkhausia Eigenmann, 1903 (Characiformes: Characidae)
(2013-07-01)
Spermiogenesis and sperm ultrastructure from 21 species of Moenkhausia and others related genera are described. To evaluate the phylogenetic signals, 18 unordered characters were utilized in implied weighting analysis ...

Hematological parameters of a Neotropical wild frog population, with a phylogenetic perspective on blood cell composition in Anura
(Oxford Univ Press, 2021-07-23)
Hematological parameters can provide key information to an animal health status. However, this information is usually hard to obtain. Here, we described the hematological parameters of Leptodactylus podicipinus in the ...
The Fusion Protein Signal-Peptide-Coding Region of Canine Distemper Virus: a Useful Tool for Phylogenetic Reconstruction and Lineage Identification
(Public Library Science, 2013-05)
Canine distemper virus (CDV) (Paramyxoviridae, Morbillivirus) is the etiologic agent of a multisystemic infectious disease affecting all the terrestrial carnivore families, with high incidence and mortality in domestic ...
