Symbiotic relationships in marine environments are not fixed and can change throughout the animal’s life.This study investigated the ontogeny of symbiosis of the spider crab Libinia ferreirae with the host medusa Lyc...
When constraints on antipredator coloration shift over the course of development,it can be advantageous for animals to adopt different color strategies for each life stage.Many caterpillars in the genus Papilio exhibi...

Predicting species abundance is one of the most fundamental pursuits of ecology.Combining the information encoded in functional traits and metacommunities provides a new perspective to predict the abundance of species...
While images have been sufficiently investigated from the systemic functional semiotic approach in various multimodal text types,illustrations in poem books have received relatively little attention.This paper analyze...
