Inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity increase the extinction risk of small isolated populations.Genetic rescue by augmenting gene flow is a powerful means for the restoration of lost genetic variation.In this stud...
This research presents a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm called Frilled Lizard Optimization(FLO),which emulates the unique hunting behavior of frilled lizards in their natural habitat.FLO draws its inspi...

Dear Editor,The problem of age estimation in amphibians and reptiles with annual fluctuations of growth pattern has been considered to be mostly solved since the skeletochronological method was introduced(Kleinenberg ...
American National Science Foundation and Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad provided financial support(EEBB-I-14-08326 to RM-P and EF-1241848 to BS);RM-P enjoys a postdoctoral contract(CEECIND/04084/2017)by ICETA-Instituto de Ciencias,Tecnologias e Agroambiente da Universidade do Porto and Fundacao da Ciencia e Tecnologia.Authors declare no conflict of interest.
Male competition conforms to a cost-benefit model,because while aggression may increase reproductive prospects,it can also increase the risk of injury.We hypothesize that an additional cost in aggressive males would b...
