Sex‐specific variation can critically shape species' physiological responses to environmental change, with potentially strong implications during reproduction. Yet this source of variation is often overlooked. To help address this paucity, we investigated fitness and whole‐organism traits and metabolomic profiles to elevated temperature in males and females of Gammarus locusta , a keystone intertidal amphipod inhabiting therma...
Diel activity guild drives different mammal responses to fragmentation and degradation in the Amazon deforestation arcNARA Subscribed
Fragmentation and degradation have profound effects on species’ habitat use and activity patterns. According to their diel activity guild, species may respond differently to environmental change, with diurnal species expected to be more vulnerable to these changes. Here, we test this hypothesis by investigating how fragmentation, and degradation modulate the habitat use and overlap in diel activity of contrasting mammal diel a...
A contemporary systematic review on deterministic numerical simulations of light propagation in head tissuesNARA Subscribed
Understanding how light interacts with the head’s tissues is relevant for several biomedical applications. Since in vivo studies involve ethical considerations, numerical simulations have become a recognised alternative method for studying light propagation in biological tissue. Although Monte Carlo methods are the gold standard for these studies, deterministic simulations are becoming more common due to their lower computatio...
The sustainable supply of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ( n -3 LC-PUFA) remains a major challenge for global aquaculture. Although plant oils, microalgae, genetically modified crops, insects, krill, and fish by-products have been explored as alternative sources, none currently provides a stand-alone solution for meeting the growing demand of n -3 LC-PUFA in aquafeeds’ production. Here, we present marine gammarids...
Non-threatened primates are often overlooked in conservation efforts despite their increasing vulnerability to local extirpation. Campbell’s ( Cercopithecus campbelli ) and green monkeys ( Chlorocebus sabaeus ) are sympatric medium-sized West African guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) whose intraspecific genetic diversity remains understudied in most of their distribution. Both species are ecological generalists and are globally c...
