The collection of behavioral data and the dietary assessment performed with the 18 S rRNA gene data allowed us to confirm temporal fluctuations of the gut microbiome correlate to dietary changes. We detected differentially abundant taxa for the rainy season, correlations of flower and fruit consump...
The ecophysiological responses of species to urbanisation reveal important information regarding the processes of successful urban colonization and biodiversity patterns in urban landscapes. Investigating these responses will also help uncover whether sy
we assessed fox’s intake target in the framework of nutritional geometry. Secondly, we aimed to highlight the effects of unbalanced diets on fox density, which was assumed as a proxy for Darwinian fitness, as assessed in five areas of the western Italian Alps. Unexpectedly, the target macronu...
For instance, females of some crustacean species show behavioral and physiological mechanisms to control male fertilization, such as selective sperm passage or spermatophore removal59,60. In the caridean rock shrimp (Rhynchocinetes typus H. Milne Edwards, 1837), females accept multiple mating to ...
