Living in various habitats, tardigrades play major roles as consumers and decomposers in the trophic networks of Antarctic terrestrial and freshwater environments; yet we still know little about their biodiversity. The Eutardigrada is a species rich class, for which the eggshell morphology is one of...
Our studies show that Paederinae rove beetles were already highly specialised at the early stage of their evolution. We present hypotheses that could explain peculiar morphology of the new genus and species and discuss possible evolutionary scenarios. One of the main obstacles to reaching final concl...

In Illizi, the traps were set in human dwellings and animal shelters (sheep, goats, and camels), and in Ghardaïa, the traps were set in a zoo near animal shelters (chicken, birds, dogs, wolves, hyena), empty cages, and burrows in the hill surrounding the zoo. The traps were set ...
However, to avoid over-parameterization, we combined mitochondrial loci into the same data partition if they belonged to the same functional type (either rRNA, tRNA, or protein coding DNA) and conformed to the same model of evolution. This resulted in 12 partitions with the following models: (...
data to investigate the effects of environmental changes on wildlife. Zoology and zoologists make an impact on our planet by the scientific study of animal's evolution, anatomy, physiology, and their environent. Zoologists are not zookeepers, according to the United States Bureau of Labor ...
The fossil skeletal record of birds from the Cenozoic of Switzerland is rather poor, despite the fact that avian tracks have been described from twenty tracksites. We review the Swiss fossil skeletal avifauna with emphasis put on new material discovered
However, it is reported that the monkeys and lizards never carry the fruit far from the parent tree and suggested that birds and bats may be the primary dispersal agents. The hypocarp of Anacardium is carried by bats to feeding roosts, where the untouched seeds are dropped after the ...
