Geckos demonstrate flexible and agile locomotion on diverse terrains and surfaces. The lateral undulation pattern referring to the trunk-limbs coordin......
Sexual behavior is a routine among animal species. Sexual experience has several behavioral consequences in insects, but its physiological basis is le......
Geckos are exceptional at terrestrial locomotion and can move on diverse terrains and surface orientations. Geckos employ cyclical lateral bending of ......
Evolution of the definitive mammalian middle ear (DMME) as a textbook example in vertebrate evolution has been extensively studied during the last 200......
The plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) is employed as an ideal model for examining the relationships between phenotypic and ecological adaptations to th......
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have strong therapeutic potential due to their capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. MSCs can also ......
Energy balance and thermoregulation in many fat-storing seasonal hibernators show a circannual rhythm. To understand the physiological mechanisms of t......
The tectonic events and Quaternary climatic oscillations in the Shaluli Mountains (the margin of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau) had an extensive ef......
Morphology of the pygidial glands and chemical composition of their secretions in adults of four ground beetle representatives of the Pterostichini tr......
A fungus-insect complex, known as DongChong XiaCao, is formed from the infection of the hepialid larvae by the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis, which i......
Evolutionary biologists had a long-standing interest in the evolutionary forces underlying geographical variation in the acoustic signals of animals. ......
Compared to solitary species, social ungulates benefit from living in groups not only because of the "many eyes effect", when each individual devotes ......
