Abstract Copulation duration, Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD), and relative abundance
(evenness) were checked for correlations in the red millipede genus Centrobolus. There …

The objectives of this study were to determine what happened when Bergmann's Rule
meets Rensch's Rule Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD) and body size changed with eco …

Animals experience seasonal fluctuations of photoperiod, food availability, temperature and
precipitation. This affects their energy budget, often leading to seasonal reproduction. We …

Lagomorphs show extensive seasonal variation in their reproduction. However, the factors
causing this large variation have so far mostly been investigated intraspecifically and …

The digitization and open availability of life history traits measured directly from individuals
provide a key means of linking organismal function to environmental and ecological contexts …

Rodents are notable for their unique life history traits that render a fast-breeding capacity.
Their short generation times allow local adaptations to appear, and several studies have …

Climate change is altering the seasonal abundance and activity patterns of ecologically
interacting species. It is not yet known how changes in phenological alignment between …

Protection of natural areas by restricting human activities aims to preserve plant and animal
populations and whole communities, ensuring the conservation of biological diversity and …

Muroid rodents mostly have a complex stomach: one part is lined with a cornified
(nonglandular) epithelium, referred to as a “forestomach”, whereas the rest is lined with …

Reproductive seasonality is a major adaptation to seasonal cycles and varies substantially
among organisms. This variation, which was long thought to reflect a simple latitudinal …
