Body coloration as a dynamic signal during intrasexual communication in a cichlid fishBMC Zoology - Tập 6 Số 1 - 2021
Leonie John, Ingolf P. Rick, Simon Vitt, Timo Thünken
AbstractBackgroundIntrasexual competition over access to resources can lead to aggression between individuals. Because overt aggression, i.e. fights, can be costly for contestants, the communication of aggressive motivation prior to engagement in a physical fight is often mediated by conventional signals. Animals of various taxa, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Caenorhabditis monodelphis sp. n.: defining the stem morphology and genomics of the genus CaenorhabditisBMC Zoology - Tập 2 - Trang 1-15 - 2017
Dieter Slos, Walter Sudhaus, Lewis Stevens, Wim Bert, Mark Blaxter
The genus Caenorhabditis has been central to our understanding of metazoan biology. The best-known species, Caenorhabditis elegans, is but one member of a genus with around 50 known species, and knowledge of these species will place the singular example of C. elegans in a rich phylogenetic context. How did the model come to be as it is today, and what are the dynamics of change in the genus? As pa...... hiện toàn bộ
What wild dogs want: habitat selection differs across life stages and orders of selection in a wide-ranging carnivoreBMC Zoology - Tập 5 - Trang 1-11 - 2020
Helen M. K. O’Neill, Sarah M. Durant, Rosie Woodroffe
Habitat loss is a key threat to the survival of many species. Habitat selection studies provide key information for conservation initiatives by identifying important habitat and anthropogenic characteristics influencing the distribution of threatened species in changing landscapes. However, assumptions about the homogeneity of individual choices on habitat, regardless of life stage, are likely to ...... hiện toàn bộ
Complete mitochondrial genomes of three fairy shrimps from snowmelt pools in JapanBMC Zoology - Tập 7 - Trang 1-14 - 2022

Fairy shrimps belong to order Anostraca, class Branchiopoda, subphylum Crustacea, and phylum Arthropoda. Three fairy shrimp species (Eubranchipus uchidai, E. asanumai, and E. hatanakai) that inhabit snowmelt pools are currently known in Japan. Whole mitochondrial genomes are useful genetic information for conducting phylogenetic analyses. Mitochondrial genome sequences for Branchiopoda members are...... hiện toàn bộ
Synergist response of the Peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) to some ammonium based proteinaceous food bait attractantsBMC Zoology - Tập 8 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Muhammad Hasnain, Shafqat Saeed, Unsar Naeem Ullah, Sami Ullah, Syed Muhammad Zaka
Under the family Tephritidae, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) is a serious pest, attacking fruits and vegetables causing large quantitative and qualitative damages throughout the world. Fruit flies require proteinaceous food for sexual maturation and egg development. Therefore, food bait attractants are frequently utilized for fruit fly detection, monitoring, mass trapping, and control. Using a Y-sha...... hiện toàn bộ
First record of rainbow shrimp, exotic species Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis (Heller, 1862), in the Brazilian coastal amazon, validated by DNA barcodeBMC Zoology - Tập 8 Số 1

Abstract
Background
This is the first record of the alien shrimp Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis in Brazil. The invasion was detected within Marine Extractive Reserves based on eight specimens accidentally caught by local fishermen using trawlnets focused on fisheries of native...... hiện toàn bộ
Two new species of Dugesia (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Dugesiidae) from the subtropical monsoon region in Southern China, with a discussion on reproductive modalitiesBMC Zoology - Tập 7 Số 1 - 2022

Abstract
Background
Freshwater planarians of the genus Dugesia (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Dugesiidae) are distributed in a major part of the Old World and Australia, although until recently only very few species were known from China.
