(Ecological Society of America, 2009)The hypothesis that low skin reflectance (melanism) provides an advantage for thermoregulation under cold conditions has received mixed support in ectothermic vertebrates. We selected a model system, three allopatric closely ...
-
(Zoological Society of South Africa, 2008-04)Climate has heen proposed as an explanation for the present-day distribution of closely-related metanistic and non-melanistic cordylid species in the southwestern Cape of South Africa. However, diet may aiso contrihute ...

(Elsevier Ltd., 2008)For tsetse (Glossina spp.), the vectors of human and animal trypanosomiases, the physiological mechanisms linking variation in population dynamics with changing weather conditions have not been well established. Here, we ...

(The Company of Biologists, 2008)Several controversies currently dominate the fields of arthropod metabolic rate, gas exchange and water balance, including the extent to which modulation of gas exchange reduces water loss, the origins of discontinuous gas ...

(British Ecological Society, 2008)1. The thermal melanism hypothesis (TMH) predicts that dark (low skin reflectance) individuals are at an advantage in cool climates as they heat faster and reach higher equilibrium temperatures than lighter (higher ...

(The Zoological Society of London, 2007)The hatching success of nests deposited by olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea during aggregated nesting events (‘arribada’) is typically low and the underlying mechanisms are not clear. In this study, temperature, ...

(2010)Global environmental change (GEC) is a significant concern. However, forecasting the outcomes of this change for species and ecosystems remains a major challenge. In particular, predicting specific changes in systems where ...

(2009-11)Widespread recognition of the importance of biological studies at large spatial and temporal scales, particularly in the face of many of the most pressing issues facing humanity, has fueled the argument that there is a ...
