animals used (i.e., species/strain, sex, and age/weight). Most of the papers surveyed did not report using randomisation (87%) or blinding (86%) to reduce bias in animal selection outcome assessment. Only 70% publications that statistical methods fully described them presented results with a measure precision variability [5]. These findings are cause for concern consistent reviews many research areas, including clinical studies, published recent years [2–22].
Reproducible science requires transparent reporting. The ARRIVE guidelines (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) were originally developed in 2010 to improve the reporting animal research. They consist a checklist information include publications describing vivo experiments enable others scrutinise work adequately, evaluate its methodological rigour, and reproduce methods results. Despite considerable levels endorsement by funders journals over years, adherence has been...

Improving the reproducibility of biomedical research is a major challenge. Transparent and accurate reporting vital to this process; it allows readers assess reliability findings repeat or build upon work other researchers. The ARRIVE guidelines (Animal Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments) were developed in 2010 help authors journals identify minimum information necessary report publications describing vivo experiments. Despite widespread endorsement by scientific community, impact on...

For scientific, ethical and economic reasons, experiments involving animals should be appropriately designed, correctly analysed transparently reported. This increases the scientific validity of results, maximises knowledge gained from each experiment. A minimum amount relevant information must included in publications to ensure that methods results a study can reviewed, repeated. Omitting essential raise concerns. We report findings systematic survey reporting, experimental design...
Avian fat storage is associated with both benefits and costs. Although the of maintaining higher energetic reserves have long been considered, costs received far less attention. Spatial temporal patterns storage, together experimental data, indicate that birds are capable actively regulating their at levels below physiological or environmental maxima. This regulation implies entails a cost. Evidence potential reviewed discussed under following headings: mass-dependent metabolism, predation...
In the last decade number of bioscience journals has increased enormously, with many filling specialised niches reflecting new disciplines and technologies. The emergence open-access revolutionised publication process, maximising availability research data. Nevertheless, a wealth evidence shows that across areas, reporting biomedical is often inadequate, leading to view even if science sound, in cases publications themselves are not “fit for purpose,” meaning incomplete relevant information...

In understanding how visual signals function, quantifying the components of those patterns is vital. With ever-increasing power and availability digital photography, many studies are utilizing this technique to study content animal colour signals. Digital photography has advantages over other techniques, such as spectrometry, for measuring chromatic information, particularly in terms speed data acquisition its relatively cheap cost. Not only do photographs provide a method achromatic...
Many long-standing evolutionary hypotheses make predictions about trends in color patterns. Examples of these include crypsis, mimicry and warning coloration, fruit flower the handicap principle honest advertisement, Fisher's runaway process, parasite theory sexual selection, sensory drive theories signaling. The majority tests hypotheses, particularly with regard to have been conducted on objects that birds perceive visually, human vision used assess color. This assumes see patterns as...
Parental care often increases offspring survival, but is costly to the parents. A trade-off between cost and benefit of expected, so that when provisioning by both parents essential for success young, instance in extremely cold or hot environments, should rear their young together.

We compile over 270 wildlife counts of Kenya's populations conducted the last 30 years to compare trends in national parks and reserves with adjacent ecosystems country-wide trends. The study shows importance discriminating human-induced changes from natural population oscillations related rainfall ecological factors. National park reserve have declined sharply years, at a rate similar non-protected areas protected area losses reflect part their poor coverage seasonal ungulate migrations....
