Testing the form-function paradigm: body shape correlates with kinematics but not energetics in selectively-bred birds

Abstract A central concept of evolutionary biology, supported by broad scale allometric analyses, asserts that changing morphology should induce downstream changes in locomotor kinematics and energetics, and by inference selective fitness.However, if these mechanistic relationships exist at local intraspecific scales, where they could provide subst

Maternal risk factors for underweight among children under-five in a resource limited setting: A community based case control study.

Previous studies conducted in Nepal have not identified the potential maternal risk for underweight among children under-five years of age in resource-poor settings.Therefore, to identify these risk factors for being underweight among children under-five years old, a community-based case-control study was conducted in a rural village in the Chitwan

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Busseola segeta Bowden (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae): A Case Study of Host Use Diversification in Guineo-Congolian Rainforest Relic Area, Kenya

Habitat modification and fragmentation are considered as some of the factors that drive organism distribution and host use diversification.Indigenous African stem borer pests are thought to have diversified their host ranges to include maize [Zea mays L.] and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] in response to their increased availability through
