Data from: Inflorescence and flower development in Musa velutina H. Wendl. &...

Premise of research. Inflorescence and flower structure in the Musaceae is unique in the Zingiberales. The inflorescence lacks the obvious cincinnus structure that characterizes the order, and the...

Data from: Optimizing mating encounters by sexually dimorphic movements

All organisms with sexual reproduction undergo a process of mating, which essentially involves the encounter of two individuals belonging to different sexes. During mate search, both sexes should...

Data from: Low fossilization potential of keratin protein revealed by...

Recent studies have suggested the presence of keratin in fossils dating back to the Mesozoic. However, ultrastructural studies revealing exposed melanosomes in many fossil keratinous tissues suggest...

Data from: Stimulus discriminability may bias value-based probabilistic learning

Reinforcement learning tasks are often used to assess participants' tendency to learn more from the positive or more from the negative consequences of one's action. However, this assessment often...

Data from: Orientation of native versus translocated juvenile Lesser Spotted...

The ontogeny of migration routines used by wild birds remains unresolved. Here we investigated the migratory orientation of juvenile lesser spotted eagles (LSE) (Clanga pomarina) based on translocation...

Data from: Allopreening in birds is associated with parental cooperation and...

Individuals of many species form bonds with their breeding partners, yet the mechanisms maintaining these bonds are poorly understood. In birds, allopreening is a conspicuous feature of interactions...

Data from: Larval nutritional stress affects vector life history traits and...

Exposure to stress during an insect’s larval development can have carry-over effects on many adult life history traits and affect host susceptibility to pathogens. Studies on mosquitoes have shown that...

Data from: Pythons, parasites and pests: anthropogenic impacts on Sarcocystis...

Parasites are essential components of ecosystems and can be instrumental in maintaining host diversity and populations; however their role in trophic interactions has often been overlooked. Three...

Data from: Specific 50-kHz vocalizations are tightly linked to particular...

Rat ultrasonic vocalizations have been suggested to be either a byproduct of physical movement or, in the case of 50-kHz calls, a means to communicate positive affect. Yet there are up to 14 distinct...

Data from: Carnivoran resource and habitat use in the context of a Late...

We investigate resource and habitat use by apex predators through stable isotope analysis at two Spanish Late Miocene localities: Los Valles de Fuentidueña (~9.6 Ma, LVF) and Cerro de los Batallones...

Data from: Predator-mediated negative effects of overabundant snow geese on...

Overabundant species can strongly impact ecosystem functioning through trophic cascades. The strong increase in several arctic geese populations, primarily due to changes in agricultural practices in...

Data from: Teosinte in Europe – searching for the origin of a novel weed

A novel weed has recently emerged, causing serious agronomic damage in one of the most important maize-growing regions of Western Europe, the Northern Provinces of Spain. The weed has morphological...

Data from: Silicon-induced root nodulation and synthesis of essential amino...

Ecologists have become increasingly aware that silicon uptake by plants, especially the Poaceae, can have beneficial effects on both plant growth and herbivore defence. The effects of silicon on other...

Data from: Present conditions may mediate the legacy effect of past land-use...

1. In forest ecosystems, the influence of landscape history on contemporary biodiversity patterns has been shown to provide a convenient framework to explain shifts in plant assemblages. However, very...

Data from: Neighborhood effects determine plant-herbivore interactions below...

1. Plant neighbors can strongly influence the interactions between herbivores and focal plants, for instance by providing food of different quality (consumptive effects) or by changing the behavior and...

Data from: Colour patch size and measurement error using reflectance...

1. Over the past twenty years, portable and relatively affordable spectrophotometers have greatly advanced the study of animal coloration. However, the small size of many colour patches poses...
