Physiological correlates of geographic range in animals
(2011)
We evaluate the extent to which physiological tolerances and capacities can be considered as factors that impact the geographic range of animals. We also discuss the importance of understanding how environmental variability ...
The integration of diet, physiology, and ecology of nectar-feeding birds
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2000)
Fully reversible phenotypic plasticity of digestive physiology in young house sparrows: lack of long-term effect of early diet composition
(Company of Biologists, 2011-08)
Feeding conditions during the nestling period may significantly affect whole-life fitness in altricial birds but little is known about the physiological mechanisms responsible for these effects. Permanent changes (irreversible ...
Using eco-physiological traits to understand the realized niche: the role of desiccation tolerance in Chagas disease vectors
(Springer, 2017-10)
Small ectotherms, such as insects, with high surface area-to-volume ratios are usually at risk of dehydration in arid environments. We hypothesize that desiccation tolerance in insects could be reflected in their distribution, ...
Locomotor performance of closely related Tropidurus species: relationships with physiological parameters and ecological divergence
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2014)
Physiological approach to explain the ecological success of 'superclones' in aphids: Interplay between detoxification enzymes, metabolism and fitness
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-02-26)
‘Superclones’ are predominant and time-persistent genotypes, exhibiting constant fitness across
different environments. However, causes of this ecological success are still unknown. Therefore, we
studied the physiological ...
Responses and adaptations of collembolan communities (Hexapoda: Collembola) to flooding and hypoxic conditions.
(Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, v. 44, n. 8, p. 1002-1010, ago. 2009., 2014)
Digestive Physiology of Three Species of Decapoda Crustaceans of Argentina
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2013-12)
This review has the available information about the digestive physiology and morphology of three decapod species from Argentina: Pleoticus muelleri, Artemesia longinaris, and Neohelice granulata. The anatomy of the foregut ...
Differential effects of water loss and temperature increase on the physiology of fiddler crabs from distinct habitats
(2018-04-01)
Temperature is one of the main environmental constraints to organism distribution, affecting physiology and survival. Organisms that inhabit the intertidal zone are exposed to temperature variation and, with climate change, ...
