The key to bubble-net feeding: how humpback whale morphology functionally differs from other baleen whales
ABSTRACTManeuverability in cetaceans is facilitated by pectoral flippers, flukes and spinal flexibility, features that are pronounced in humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). Humpback whales exhibit several foraging tactics requiring high mane...

Environmental modifications of dung beetle larvae shape their growth and life history
ABSTRACTOrganisms are not just passive recipients of environmental pressures but can shape the environment they experience. Yet, the mechanisms and evolutionary implications of such niche construction remain poorly understood. Here, we studied the...

Visual contrast from background features and dynamic illumination contributes to three-dimensional camouflage in cuttlefish
ABSTRACTMany animals adopt camouflage strategies that involve matching their appearance to colour and texture-based features in their environment. However, these features may be difficult to estimate in habitats that are prone to dynamic lighting,...

Sex and mating success impact resource allocation and life history traits in Gryllus vocalis field crickets
ABSTRACTResource allocation plays a pivotal role in shaping life-history strategies, often reflecting trade-offs between growth, energy storage and reproduction. These trade-offs are influenced by sex-specific selective pressures, with males and f...
