Optimal individual positions within animal groups (2008)
Journal Article
Morrell, L., & Romey, W. L. (2008). Optimal individual positions within animal groups. Behavioral ecology, 19(4), 909-919. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arn050

Animal groups are highly variable in their spatial structure, and individual fitness is strongly associated with the spatial position of an animal within a group. Predation risk and food gains are often higher at the group peripheries; thus, animals... Read More about Optimal individual positions within animal groups.

Patterns of endemism and species richness in Malagasy cophyline frogs support a key role of mountainous areas for speciation (2008)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Vieites, D. R., Van Der Meijden, A., Glaw, F., Cannatella, D. C., & Vences, M. (2008). Patterns of endemism and species richness in Malagasy cophyline frogs support a key role of mountainous areas for speciation. Evolution, 62(8), 1890-1907. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1558-5646.2008.00420.x

Cophyline narrow-mouthed frogs (Anura: Microhylidae) are a diverse endemic radiation of Madagascar. Cophylines contain a high proportion of range restricted species and constitute a good model system to understand patterns of evolutionary diversifica...

Winter diet and condition of two 0+ year cyprinid fish species in the lower River Trent, England (2008)
Journal Article
Nunn, A. D., Harvey, J. P., & Cowx, I. G. (2008). Winter diet and condition of two 0+ year cyprinid fish species in the lower River Trent, England. Journal of fish biology, 72(6), 1529-1533. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8649.2008.01799.x

The winter diets of 0+ year juvenile dace Leuciscus leuciscus and roach Rutilus rutilus in the lower River Trent, England, were dominated by aufwuchs. There were no significant changes in the relative condition of either fish species over the winter....

Ras gene in marine mussels: A molecular level response to petrochemical exposure (2008)
Journal Article
Lima, I., Peck, M. R., Rendón-Von Osten, J., Soares, A. M. V. M., Guilhermino, L., & Rotchell, J. (2008). Ras gene in marine mussels: A molecular level response to petrochemical exposure. Marine pollution bulletin, 56(4), 633-640. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2008.01.018

Mussels are susceptible to numerous toxicants and are often employed as bioindicators. This study investigated the status of the ras proto-oncogene in Mytilus galloprovincialis following petrochemical exposure. A M. galloprovincialis homologue of the...

Factors affecting the dispersal of coarse fish (2008)
Thesis
Bolland, J. D. Factors affecting the dispersal of coarse fish. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4208647

Globally, freshwater fisheries are faced with numerous impacts that compromise fish populations. A knowledge and understanding of riverine fish movements are crucial for effective management and conservation of populations. However, there is a paucit...

Finding females: pheromone-guided reproductive tracking behavior by male Nereis succinea in the marine environment (2008)
Journal Article
Ram, J. L., Fei, X., Danaher, S. M., Lu, S., Breithaupt, T., & Hardege, J. D. (2008). Finding females: pheromone-guided reproductive tracking behavior by male Nereis succinea in the marine environment. The journal of experimental biology, 211(5), 757-765. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.012773

Pheromones trigger reproductive responses of many marine organisms, but little is known about how pheromones mediate mate-finding behavior in the marine environment. This paper investigates whether the tetrapeptide nereithione (cysteine-glutathione d...

Disentangling composite colour patterns in a poison frog species (2008)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Lötters, S., Mora-Ferrer, C., & Veith, M. (2008). Disentangling composite colour patterns in a poison frog species. Biological journal of the Linnean Society, 93(3), 433-444. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8312.2007.00906.x

A phylogenetic approach was performed to infer whether variation in conspicuous colour-patterns of a poison frog (Dendrobatidae: Dendrobates tinctorius) has evolved neutrally or under selection. Colour and pattern were split into components that were... Read More about Disentangling composite colour patterns in a poison frog species.

Pretty in pink: a new treefrog species of the genus Boophis from north-eastern Madagascar (2008)
Journal Article
Wollenberg, K. C., Andreone, F., Glaw, F., & Vences, M. (2008). Pretty in pink: a new treefrog species of the genus Boophis from north-eastern Madagascar. Zootaxa, 1684(1), 58-68. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.1684.1.3

Treefrogs of the genus Boophis comprise the most species-rich genus among all Malagasy frogs. In this paper we describe a new species to be added to this genus from Masoala Peninsula and nearby areas. Related populations have been found in three loca...
