TL;DR: The energy content of eggs of 10 lizard species was determined and used as a measure of reproductive effort, suggesting that the demographic environment may not be the primary selec- tive pressure determining reproductive efforts, and that reproductive effort mayNot be posi- tively correlated with age in all species.

TL;DR: Summer beetles, and winter beetles acclimated to 35°C for periods of 5 and 10 weeks exhibited higher quantities of hydrocarbons and a higher percentage of long chain components than did winter beetles or appropriate controls.

TL;DR: Primary production in desert ecosystems is limited by precipitation, nutrient availability, and the species' production potential, as well as rates of decomposition and activities of decomposer organisms.

TL;DR: Ventilatory patterns were examined in the Eastern lubber grasshopper Romalea guttata and correlated with respiratory transpiration as discussed by the authors, which indicated that the cyclic release of CO2 in this adult insect does not result in substantial savings of water.

TL;DR: Incoming solar, net, and reflected radiation, wind velocity, relative humidity, and temperatures at various levels above and below an open desert surface were recorded simultaneously at 30—minute intervals for a 3—day period to solve inherent problems in the estimation of contributing factors to net energy exchange and comparison of similar budgets for mesic arthropods are discussed.
