Adrenal glands of mice and rats: A comparative morphometric study
(2022)Mice and rats are among the most used laboratory animals. They share numerous similarities along with differences, some yet unexplored. One of them is the morphometry of their adrenal glands, whose characteristics may be ... -
Biogeography of body size in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2016)This study tries to unveil the contribution of climatic shift in shaping the extreme body size diversity in terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea). Trying to explain size variation at an interspecific level, we test five hypotheses: ... -
Geographical variation in adult life-history traits of the European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2012)To understand the evolution of local adaptation, the interplay between natural selection and gene flow should be considered. Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a patchily distributed, stenophagous species of ... -
The island rule is not valid in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2017)The island rule posits that small animals grow larger on islands, whereas large-bodied ones are expected to dwarf, but remains largely unexplored in invertebrates. We tested the rule at an inter-specific level on terrestrial ... -
Obligate annual and successive facultative diapause establish a bet-hedging strategy of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) in seasonally unpredictable environments
(2017)To cope with temporal and spatial heterogeneity of habitats, herbivorous insects in the temperate zone usually enter diapause that facilitates synchronization of their life cycle with specific stages of host plants, such ... -
Population dynamics, fishery, and exploitation status of norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) in eastern mediterranean
(2021)Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) is one of the most valuable shellfish resources in the Mediterranean and the northeast Atlantic. Sustainable management of its fishery require long-term scientific monitoring of its ... -
A prospective epidemiological, clinical, and clinicopathologic study of feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus infection in 435 cats from Greece
(2021)Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are retroviruses causing significant morbidity and mortality in cats. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and clinicopathologic ... -
Transmission and predictors of burden of lungworms of the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) in the western mediterranean
(2020)Pseudaliid lungworms infect the lungs and sinuses of cetaceans. Information on the life cycle and epidemiology of pseudaliids is very scarce and mostly concerns species that infect coastal or inshore cetaceans. Available ...
