Ultraviolet(UV)A signals(320-400 nm)are important in mate choice in numerous species.The sensitivity for UV signals is not only assumed to be costly,but also expected to be a function of the prevailing ecological cond...

Different environmental conditions may lead to diverse morphological,behavioral,and physiological adaptations of different populations of the same species.Lighting conditions,for example,vary vastly especially between...

Lifespan is one of the main components of life history.Shorter lifespans can be expected in marginal habitats.However,in the case of ectotherms,lifespan typically increases with altitude,even though temperature-one of...
Mountains imply enormous environmental variation, with alpine habitats entailing harsh environ- ments, especially for ectotherms such as lizards. This environmental variability also may imply variation in prey availab...
The Indian subcontinent is amongst the biologically better known parts of the tropics and its bird fauna has been well documented. However, avian community composition and diversity along elevational gradients and amo...

We quantified microhabitat use by white-footed mice Peromyscus leucopus in forest and old-field habitats occupied by Morrow' s honeysuckle Lonicera morrowii, an invasive exotic shrub imported from Japan. Microhabitat...
