Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Teeth root morphology and integrity are essential to provide appropriate attachment, allowing for continuous and functional movement, with implications for adequate food processing, animal performance, and …
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. True sunfishes (genus Lepomis Rafinesque, 1819) of North America are renowned for hybridization, although hybrids often comprise only a fraction of the sunfish population in natural systems. Species boundar…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Age and size-related life-history traits of animals are influenced by a variety of factors. In connection with climate, the effect of altitude on demographic parameters may differ among different population…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Reptiles living in the grasslands of Western Canada cope with extremely variable environmental temperatures. We studied body temperatures (Tb) and operative environmental temperatures (Te) for Bullsnakes (P…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Anuran amphibians that breed in ephemeral ponds of unpredictable environments have mechanisms to tolerate or to avoid associated risks of egg and tadpole mortality, such as selection of oviposition sites, p…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 239-242, March 2022. In many snakes, males engage in agonistic interactions (male–male combat) apparently to establish dominant–subordinate relationships to gain priority access to reproductive fe…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Climatic changes are disrupting distribution patterns of populations through shifts in species abiotic niches and habitat loss. The abiotic niche of marine benthic taxa such as skates, however, may be more …
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 161-175, March 2022. Apatelodidae is a family of Neotropical bombycoids that is still poorly studied in several aspects. Besides being relatively large moths and abundant in light traps, only sour…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. Hibernation is associated with long lifespan: on average, hibernating mammals live 15% longer than nonhibernators of equivalent mass. We investigated how survival varies with sex, season, and the deployment…
Canadian Journal of Zoology, Ahead of Print. The energetic consequences of body size, behaviour, and fine-scale environmental variation remain understudied, particularly among free-ranging carnivores, due to logistical and methodological challenges of…
