Adaptive radiation is the evolution of diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage. It can
cause a single ancestral species to differentiate into an impressively vast array of species …

We introduce the concept of many-to-one map** of form to function and suggest that this
emergent property of complex systems promotes the evolution of physiological diversity. Our …

One of the performance features that is generally considered crucial to increasing the
potential prey spectrum of lizards is bite capacity. In this study we tested whether bite forces …

The aim of this study was to determine if divergence in habitat use among lacertid lizards is
paralleled by morphological differentiation. For 35 lacertid species, we measured body …

A cornerstone of ecological theory is the ecological niche. Yet little is known about how
individuals come to adopt it: whether it is innate or learned. Here, we report a cross-fostering …

El Carbonero común Parus major es el párido (Familia Paridae) de mayor tamaño, con una
longitud aproximada de 12-14 cm, cabeza redondeada y relativamente grande, alas cortas …

Los autores han elaborado un libro que llena un enorme vacío en la ornitología mexicana.

Water striders are water-walking insects that can jump upwards from the water surface.
Quick jumps allow striders to avoid sudden dangers such as predators' attacks, and …

Recent ecomorphological studies have shown that the predicted correlations between
morphology and ecology on broad taxonomic levels are often obscured when comparing …

Among Mesozoic birds, enantiornithines exhibit great morphological variation, which likely
reflects their species diversity, range, and overall success throughout the Cretaceous. The …
