Compared to the oceans, spatially finite ecosystems such as ponds or lakes can offer replication and allow whole-ecosystem type experiments to be conducted with appropriate replicates (either in space or time) and with controls (e.g. manipulated vs. unmanipulated; Fig.1). Before-after-control-im...
Its life cycle requires two intermediate hosts (snails and fish or frogs) and one avian definitive host (Osborn 1911, 1912; Kanev et al. 2002; McAllister et al. 2010; Calhoun et al. 2019). The pulmonate gastropods in the families Planorbidae and Lymnaeidae are commonly reported as first...
Despite its broad scope, theory around animal signals and sexual selection has advanced largely through the intensive study of relatively few taxa. Animals such as frogs, fish, and arthropods have proven particularly useful for developing and testing models of sexual selection12,13. For example, stu...
Through time, Fish have adapted to their environment through the evolution of gills, swim bladders and fins. Their gills allow them to absorb oxygen from the water. The swim bladders allow the fishes to maintain its appropriate level of buoyancy to swim well and their fins allow ...
of the genusEulemur,the montane refugia hypothesis, for example, could be shown to explain patterns of species richness and endemism in cophyline frogs [27]. Furthermore, climatic gradients had probably important influences on the diversification of several chameleons, geckos and also lemurs [20]....
.These frogs,in turn,feed on insects which eat leaves and fruit.When a jaguar dies,a tiny army of microorganisms helps break down its body and return the nutrients to the Earth. The Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by fixing carbon and producing over 20 p...

Rohr also said: “In our wetland survey, our microcosms and disease models, we discovered that there were fewer flatworms in frogs where there were more species of flatworm predators. Additionally, the field study indicated that the diversity of these predators was a better predictor...
As the largest rainforest in the world, it plays a significant role in maintaining the fine balance of the Earth’s ecosystem. The Amazon rainforest crosses into eight countries. With an area of 5.5 million square kilometers, the Amazon rainforest is more than half the size of China. The...
