Environmental variation associated with seasonality along geographical gradients is likely to promote differentiation in lifehistory traits,but has been little studied in natural populations of ectoth
Dabie Mountains,southeast China,located at the boundary between the Palaearctic and the Oriental region which maybe impel the speciation of some endemic species.
Across taxa,females are routinely choosier than males in selecting mates.Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain genetic benefits behind female strategies.
We used Hoplobatrachus chinensis tadpoles as a model species to evaluate if the locomotor costs of tail loss could be compensated by tail regeneration.
Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) are of great interest to explore molecular evolution,molecular systematics and conservation genetics.To date,only four mitogenomes have been obtained in the amphibi
Whole Naja atra and Bungarus multicinctus venoms were fractionated and identified by combined proteomic technologies.The proteins were classified into 5 and 9 different protein families in N.
Asian elephant(Elephas maximus)is listed as Category I protected species in China.Historically,elephants had been lived in the vast region acrossthe country.
