- Territorial status is explained by covariation between boldness, exploration, and thermal preference in a colour polymorphic lizard.
Goerge TM, Miles DB · Ecology and evolution · 2024-09 · open access
Colour polymorphism and population dynamics Colour polymorphism, or the presence of at least two distinct, genetically determined colour morphs within an interbreeding population (Huxley, ), has been documented in a wide range of taxa including insects (Tanaka, ; Willink et al., ), fish…

Tangkhul tribes are main habitant of the Ukhrul district of Manipur, a north eastern state of India and popular for using the products of animal fauna in the folklore medicines for curing certain human ailments. To our knowledge, no investigation has been done on the essential fatty acids content…
- Bluer in the city: urban male lizards exhibit more intense sexual coloration and lower parasite loads than non-urban males.
González-Morales JC, Rivera-Rea J, Suárez-Varón G et al. · Integrative zoology · 2024-09 · open access
INTRODUCTION Urbanization is a worldwide phenomenon that involves converting natural environments to spaces suitable for occupation by high‐density human populations (Marzluff et al.; French et al. ). This process includes infrastructure and building construction, generating the loss of preexisting…
