Rensch’s rule describes a pattern of allometry whereby sexual size dimorphism (SSD) increases with body size when males are the larger sex, and whereby SSD decreases with body size when females are larger in interspecific comparisons. In groups of re... Read More about Reciprocal sexual size dimorphism and Rensch’s rule in Toad-headed lizards (Phrynocephalus vlangalii).

Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of connectivity patterns : a basis for prioritizing conservation efforts for threatened populations. Evolutionary Applications, 10(2), 199-211. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.12443

Ecosystem fragmentation and habitat loss have been the focus of landscape management due to restrictions on contemporary connectivity and dispersal of populations. Here, we used an individual approach to determine the drivers of genetic differentiati...

The Frank–Starling mechanism allows the amount of blood entering the heart from the veins to be precisely matched with the amount pumped out to the arterial circulation. As the heart fills with blood during diastole, the myocardium is stretched and o...
