Mating status correlates with dorsal brightness in some but not all poison frog populations
Sexual signals are important for intraspecific communication and mate selection, but their evolution may be driven by both natural and sexual selection, and stochastic processes. Strawberry poison frogs (Oophaga pumilio) show strong color divergence among populations, but coloration also varies among individuals of the same population. The importance of coloration for female mate choice has bee...
متن کاملRisk scores for type 2 diabetes can be applied in some populations but not all.
OBJECTIVE Risk scores based on phenotypic characteristics to identify individuals at high risk of having undiagnosed diabetes have been developed in Caucasian populations. The impact of known risk factors on having undiagnosed type 2 diabetes differs between populations from different ethnic origin, and risk scores developed in Caucasians may not be applicable to other ethnic groups. This study...
متن کاملSong sharing correlates with social but not extrapair mating success in the white-crowned sparrow
Bird song is a prominent example of a trait under interand intrasexual selection. Performance-related aspects of bird song have been shown to vary among males and to influence territorial interactions as well as female mate choice. In oscine songbirds, song is different from many other sexually selected traits in that it is learned. As a result of learning, territorial neighbors share songs in ...
متن کاملStress‐induced peak (but not resting) metabolism correlates with mating display intensity in male guppies
Recent empirical and conceptual papers have highlighted the potential for metabolism to act as a proximate mechanism for behavior that could explain animal personality (consistency over time). Under this hypothesis, individuals with consistently high levels of behavioral activity should also have high resting metabolic rate (RMR) as it can reflect capacity to process food and generate energy. W...
متن کاملNot all lactic acid bacteria are probiotics, ...but some are.
The WHO defines probiotics as: ‘live microorganisms, which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host’, a definition which implies that a beneficial health effect must be demonstrated in human subjects. In October 2009, the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) issued scientific opinions concerning more than 500 health claim applications; all those concerning probiot...
