The energy and nutrient costs associated with body mass, age, and sex can influence variation in primate behavior and diet. However, comparatively little is known about how these factors affect the behavioral and dietary flexibility of Asian colobines in response to intra-annual climate shifts. We collected data on an isolated population of black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) at Mt. Lasha in the Yunling...

As freshwater resources become increasingly limited, exploiting brackish and marine waters for aquaculture is viewed as a promising alternative. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), although considered euryhaline, shows relatively restricted tolerance to salinity compared with other tilapia species, making it an ideal model to study adaptive responses to osmotic stress. Serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) are key modulators of...
