- Little evidence for color- or size-based mating preferences by male strawberry poison frogs (Oophaga pumilio)
M. Lehman, Marco González-Santoro, Corinne L. Richards‐Zawacki · Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology · 2024-02 · open access
Abstract While there are many studies documenting female mating preferences across taxa, male mate choice remains relatively understudied. Male mate choice often develops when there is variation in female quality and thus the fitness benefits of mating with particular females. Specifically, males…

Buckman KM, D'Acunto LE, Romañach SS et al. · journal of wildlife management · 2024-02 · open access
Bobcats (Lynx rufus) are terrestrial mammals that also inhabit tree islands (i.e., topographically elevated patches of forested land) embedded in the subtropical Everglades wetlands, which serve as a dry refuge habitat during the wet season in this region of Florida, USA. The Comprehensive…

Zec S, Mitchell MA, Rockwell K et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2024-01 · open access
1. Introduction Current sedation and anesthetic protocols for chelonians can pose a challenge to clinicians because of prolonged induction and recovery times, poor-quality sedation or anesthesia, difficulties in gaining venous access, and natural species variation. To overcome these issues, it is…
