We present the results of monitoring breeding phenology an assemblage eight species amphibians in a Mediterranean ephemeral stream, located Ardèche department, France. For most species, during 11 consecutive years, was rather constant from year to year, which is unusual temporary ponds. The occurrence summer not rare for three species: Pelobates cultripes (Cuvier, 1829), Pelodytes punctatus (Da...

Theoretical models aimed at explaining the evolution of honest, informative begging signals employed by nestling birds to solicit food from their parents, require that dishonest signalers incur a net viability cost in order to prevent runaway escalation of signal intensity over evolutionary time. Previous attempts to determine such a cost empirically have identified two candidate physiological ...

A qualitative and quantitative population survey of immature and adult Chironomidae was conducted for 1 year in a country club wetlands in northeast Florida, USA. Glyptotendipes paripes and Goeldichironomus carus were the 2 predominant chironomid species in the wetlands. Adults of these 2 species emerged at nuisance levels from Apr through Jun, and in Aug and Sep. Polypedilum , Cryptochironomus...
