As sequencing techniques have advanced and become cheaper in recent years, there has been a rapid increase the number of studies conducted into role microbiome coral health, physiology, response to environmental change. However, is substantial variation methodological approaches applied. For example, DNA extraction protocols types tissues sampled from meta-organism are known influence downstrea...

Geckos have gained ecological access to novel microhabitats by exploiting intermolecular van der Waals forces, which allow them to climb smooth vertical surfaces. They use microscopic surface-based phenomena to thrive in a macroscopic mass- and kinetic energy-based world. Here we detail this as a premier example of integrative biology, spanning seven orders of magnitude and a lot of interesting...

Abdominal tergal scale pattern variations of Aedes aegypti were studied in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand for specimens reared from eggs laid in ovitraps set monthly both indoors and outdoors in urban and rural areas. The populations predominantly consisted of the dark type form, regardless of macrohabitats (urban vs. rural), microhabitats (indoor vs. outdoor) or seasons (dry vs. rainy). Among 6...

The body temperature of lizards is strongly influenced by the thermal quality microhabitats, exploiting favourable environmental temperatures, and avoiding exposure to extreme conditions. For these reasons, reptile populations are considered be especially vulnerable changes in temperatures produced climate change. Here, we study physiology critically endangered Añelo Sand Dunes Lizard (Liolaemu...

This research shows the results regarding response to acidic condition of sediment and Posidonia foraminiferal assemblages collected around Panarea Island. The Aeolian Archipelago represents a natural laboratory much-promising study site for multidisciplinary marine (carbon capture storage, geochemistry hydrothermal fluids ocean acidification vs. benthic pelagic organisms). variability complexi...
