Interspecific variation in responses to microclimate by terrestrial isopods: implications in relation to climate change
The importance of considering species-specific biotic interactions when predicting feedbacks between the effects of climate change and ecosystem functions is becoming widely recog…
Thermal ecology of three potentially at-risk species of Mexican kinosternid turtles
Surprisingly little is known about the thermal ecology of Mexican kinosternid turtles. We studied the body temperatures of Kinosternon cora, K. durangoense, and K. herrerai from M…
Diet, sexual dimorphism, and fertility aspects of Melanophryniscus fulvoguttatus (Mertens, 1937) from Central-East Braz…
Melanophryniscus fulvoguttatus is a small toad that inhabits the Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, and humid Chaco of South America. Due to its aposematic coloration and behavior, it is a…
First record of Rhacophorus verrucopus Huang, 1983 from Myanmar
We report the first country record of Rhacophorus verrucopus Huang, 1983 from Myanmar, based on one specimen collected from Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuary, Sagaing Division. Morphol…
Basking activity pattern of the European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758) in Babat valley (Gödöllő, Hunga…
The populations of the widespread European pond turtle and their numbers are decreasing in Hungary and other European countries. Knowledge of basking habits, along with other biol…
Metabolism, movement behaviour, and salinity responses of invasive mosquitofish compared with a threatened toothcarp
The success and impact of invasive non-native species depend on how they cope with local abiotic conditions, especially in comparison to co-occurring native taxa. In aquatic syste…
Effect of the tapeworm Ligula pavlovskii on the life-history of the alien monkey goby (Neogobius fluviatilis)
The life-history traits of fish are influenced by numerous factors, including parasitic infections. Parasites can significantly impact host mortality, growth performance, and repr…
Food fight: Gammarus tigrinus demonstrate competitive advantage over native G. duebeni
Introductions of non-native species (NNS) are major drivers of biodiversity loss. Gammarids (Crustacea, Gammaroidea) have been particularly successful in establishing and spreadin…
Invasive round goby shows higher sensitivity to salinization than native European perch
Salinity is an influential abiotic environmental factor in aquatic species, specifically in freshwater, where salinization causes ecosystem degradation. Secondary salinization, th…
Interaction effects of desiccation and temperature stress resistance across Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera, Noctui…
Insects encounter multiple overlapping physiologically challenging environmental stressors in their habitats. As such, the ability of insects to withstand these stressors singly o…
Effects of osmotic and thermal shock on the invasive aquatic mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum: mortality and physiolog…
Invasive freshwater species, such as the exotic mollusc Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand mudsnail), can frequently survive under harsh conditions, including brackish and hypo…
First record of the male of the widespread Calliscelio elegans (Perkins) (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae) along with some …
The hitherto unknown male of the widespread and tramp species, Calliscelio elegans (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae) is hereby reported for the first time, from India. The two sexes a…
