Hematological parameters can provide key information to an animal health status.However,this information is usually hard to obtain.Here,we described the hematological parameters of Leptodactylus podicipinus in the Bra...
The interaction between organisms and their environment is central in functional morphology.Differences in habitat usage may imply divergent morphology of locomotor systems;thus,detecting which morphological traits ar...
Sexual differences in morphology can evolve by sexual selection and/or natural selection.In some species,only males have morphological structures that are used as weapons.Since some weapons may also be used for defens...
Vespertilionidae is the most diverse chiropteran family, and its diversity is concentrated in warmregions of the World; however, due to physiological and behavioral adaptations, these bats alsodominate bat faunas in t...
I review evidence that females deceive males in the context of sexual selection and sexual conflict in the green poison frog, Dendrobates auratus. In this species, males mate polygynously when they have the opportunit...
Swimbladder disturbance sounds of doradoid catfishes (Doradidae and Aucheniptefidae) demonstrated striking waveform and spectrographic variation. We surveyed sounds of 25 doradoid species in 20 genera comparing thes...
Acknowledgements We thank Samantha Hilber for valuable comments on the manuscriPt. RMC thanks G.W. Barlow for countless discussions about behavior and for his unbounded enthusiasm for fishes.
Aggressive behavior can be an important factor in determining how animals use and divide space and resources. Previous studies have shown that aggression in fishes can be influenced by a variety of factors, including ...
