Magnitude and Predictability of pH Fluctuations Shape Plastic Responses to Ocean Acidification
(2023-06-17)
Phenotypic plasticity is expected to facilitate the persistence of natural populations as global change progresses. The attributes of fluctuating environments that favor the evolution of plasticity have received extensive ...
Ion acceleration inside foreshock transients
(2023-06-17)
Recent observations upstream of Earth's bow shock have revealed that foreshock transients can not only accelerate solar wind ions by reflection at their upstream boundaries but may also accelerate ions inside them. Evidence ...
Net superoxide levels: steeper increase with activity in cooler female and hotter male lizards
(2023-09-20)
Ectotherms increase their body temperature in response to ambient heat, thereby elevating their metabolic rate. An often inferred consequence of this is an overall upregulation of gene expression and energetic expenditure, ...
Anemonefish oxygenate their anemone hosts at night
(2023-09-20)
Many stony coral-dwelling fishes exhibit adaptations to deal with hypoxia among the branches of their hosts; however, no
information exists on the respiratory ecophysiology of obligate fish associates of non-coral organisms ...
Can mixed assessment methods make biology classes more equitable
(2023-09-20)
Many factors have been proposed to explain the attrition of women in science, technology, engineering and math fields, among them the lower performance of women in introductory courses resulting from deficits in incoming ...
Data from: Dumpsters and other human structures as habitat for invasive African rock agama lizards in Florida
(2021-03-22)
Invasive species often use habitat differently than native species and can benefit by using underutilized habitats during the invasion process. The Peter’s Rock Agama (Agama picticauda) — native to savannahs of sub-Saharan ...
Lizard embryos prioritize post-hatching energy reserves over increased hatchling body size during development
(2019-09-09)
Embryonic development in oviparous organisms is fueled by maternally-allocated yolk, with many organisms hatching before that energy store is completely used up; the resultant leftover (residual) yolk is internalized and ...
Data for: Ecologically relevant thermal fluctuations enhance offspring fitness: biological and methodological implications for studies of thermal developmental plasticity
(2020-08-03)
Natural thermal environments are notably complex and challenging to mimic in controlled studies. Consequently, our understanding of the ecological relevance and underlying mechanisms of organismal responses to thermal ...

Optimal Parameter Upscaling for Partial Differential Equation Models in Mathematical Biology
(2024-04-04)
Partial differential equation models in mathematical biology often involve space-dependent parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. ...
Stellar Blend Image Classification Using Computationally Efficient Gaussian Processes (MuyGPs)
(2024-04-05)
Stellar blends are a challenge in visualizing celestial bodies and are typically disambiguated through
expensive methods. To address this, we propose an automated pipeline to distinguish single stars
and blended stars ...
Optimal Upscaling with Transport Maps
(2024-04-04)
Partial differential equation models often involve space-dependent
parameters, such as diffusion coefficients and advection fields, that
cannot be measured explicitly and are therefore uncertain. Midpoint
(MP), spatial ...
Show Me a Function: More Than Meets the Eye
(2024-04-04)
Mathematics is a fascinating subject used to understand functions' properties and behavior. From simple precalculus to challenging graduate-level courses, there is an intricate web of functions to explore. Unfortunately, ...
Genetic variation underlies plastic responses to global change drivers in the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
(2024-05-17)
Phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution enable population persistence in response to global change. However, there are few experiments that test how these processes interact within and across generations, especially ...
