TLDR
This book is based on a symposium organized by the Entomological Society of America in 1980 and will prove to be an important book in bringing together recent research on the mating systems of orthopterans, and discussing their behaviour in the light of current theory in behavioura].About:

Interspecific Killing among Mammalian Carnivores
Francisco Palomares,Tim Caro +1 more
TL;DR: Interspecific killing among mammalian carnivores is common in nature and accounts for up to 68% of known mortalities in some species, and may have important implications for conservation and management of carnivores and their prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian basal metabolic rate is proportional to body mass2/3
Craig R. White,Roger S. Seymour +1 more
TL;DR: A new analysis of the allometry of mammalian BMR that accounts for variation associated with body temperature, digestive state, and phylogeny finds no support for a metabolic scaling exponent of 3/4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Bergmann’s Rule Valid for Mammals?
TL;DR: Broad support is found for Bergmann’s rule as a general trend for mammals; however, the analyses do not support heat conservation as the explanation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Ageing Genomic Resources: Integrated databases and tools for the biology and genetics of ageing
Robi Tacutu,Thomas Craig,Arie Budovsky,Daniel Wuttke,Gilad Lehmann,Dmitri Taranukha,Joana Costa,Vadim E. Fraifeld,João Pedro de Magalhães +8 more
TL;DR: It is hoped that through its improvements, the current version of HAGR will continue to provide users with the most comprehensive and accessible resources available today in the field of biogerontology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fig-eating by vertebrate frugivores: a global review.
TL;DR: The consumption of figs by vertebrates is reviewed using data from the literature, unpublished accounts and new field data from Borneo and Hong Kong, supporting previous claims that Ficus is the most important plant genus for tropical frugivores.

TL;DR: The resolution of the primate phylogeny provides an essential evolutionary framework with far-reaching applications including: human selection and adaptation, global emergence of zoonotic diseases, mammalian comparative genomics, primate taxonomy, and conservation of endangered species.
