... that would suggest similar energetic costs, the humerus had lower bone stresses, higher mechanical hardness and larger SFs. SFs were greatest in the anatomical regions where yield stresses were highest in the humerus and lowest in the femur. Such intraspecific variation between and within bones may relate...

... Acclimation Adaptation Intraspecific variation How does evolution shape the ways in which animals respond to environmental change? Do variable environments select for individuals with broad tolerance to stressors or for individuals with the ability to modify their sensitivity to stressors...

... characterized among species; however, intraspecific variation remains largely unexplored. In addition, little is known about how environmental factors modify development of lateral line morphology. Predation is one environmental factor that can act both as a selective pressure causing genetic differences...

.... Profiling injected venom of Conus catus individuals using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry demonstrates that intraspecific variation in the mixture of peptides extends to other species of piscivorous cone snails. The results of this study imply that novel...

... to which acclimation to a particular thermal and hydric environment plays a role in the intraspecific variation in water loss evident in this species. We draw the following conclusions: (1) that water loss varies intraspecifically in Merriam’s kangaroo rat, in association with habitats of contrasting...

...Julian K. Christians; Tony D. Williams ABSTRACT Egg mass shows large intraspecific variation in birds and yet the mechanisms underlying this variation remain unknown. We hypothesized that estradiol would play a central role in determining egg mass, since this hormone stimulates the production...
