Developmental effects of visual environment on species-assortative mating preferences in Lake Victoria cichlid fish
DS Wright, N Demandt, JT Alkema, O Seehausen… – Journal of Evolutionary …, 2016 Local adaptation can be a potent force in speciation, with environmental heterogeneity leading to niche specialization and population divergence. However, local adaption often...Stabilising survival selection on pre‐senescent expression of a sexual ornament followed by a terminal decline
MJP Simons, M Briga, S Verhulst – Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2016 Senescence is a decrease in functional capacity, increasing mortality rate with age. Sexual signals indicate functional capacity, because costs of ornamentation ensure signal honesty, and...Warning signal properties covary with toxicity but not testosterone or aggregate carotenoids in a poison frog
L Crothers, RA Saporito, J Yeager, K Lynch, C Friesen… – Evolutionary Ecology Aposematic (warning) coloration is a highly conspicuous trait that is found throughout the animal kingdom. In several aposematic species, warning signals have been co-opted for use in...A Naturally-Derived Compound Schisandrin B Enhanced Light Sensation in the pde6c Zebrafish Model of Retinal Degeneration
L Zhang, L Xiang, Y Liu, P Venkatraman, L Chong… – PloS one, 2016 Retinal degeneration is often progressive. This feature has provided a therapeutic window for intervention that may extend functional vision in patients. Even though this approach is feasible, few...Black Phoebes Applications – Bird Monitoring
Black Phoebes rely on chromatic contrast to search for food. For a bird to survive, it must be able to successfully find and eat food items. Many factors can affect the ability of the bird to find food such as the habitat it lives in, the abundance of food, or how its...Introducing our new Applied Spectroscopy Division
