Brain size differs substantially among species, and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the evolution of brain size. Because is most energetically expensive organs in vertebrate body, trade-offs hypothesized exert constraints on evolution. Prominently, tissue hypothesis (ETH) proposes that reducing another organ, such as gut, should compensate for cost a large brain. But energetic may also drive covariation between other costly traits—such body maintenance, locomotion, or...
Environmental variation associated with season length is likely to promote differentiation in life-history traits, but has been little studied natural populations of ectotherms. We investigated patterns egg size, clutch age at sexual maturity, maximum age, mean growth rate and adult body size relation among 17 Andrew’s toad (Bufo andrewsi) different latitudes altitudes the Hengduan Mountains, western China. found that increased decreasing season, whereas showed a converse cline. Body did not...
Abstract Variation in ecological selection pressures has been implicated to explain variation brain size and architecture fishes, birds mammals, but little is known this respect about amphibians. Likewise, the relative importance of constraint vs. mosaic hypotheses evolution explaining remains contentious. Using phylogenetic comparative methods, we studied interspecific different parts among 43 Chinese anuran frogs explored how much was explainable by factors ( viz . habitat type, diet...
Abstract Natural selection is a major force in the evolution of vertebrate brain size, but role sexual size remains enigmatic. At least two opposing schools thought predict relationship between and size. Sexual should facilitate larger brains because better cognitive abilities may aid competition for mates. However, it also restrict due to energetic trade‐offs tissue sexually selected traits. Here, we examined patterns on anatomy male anurans (frogs toads), group where strength differs...
The degree of postcopulatory sexual selection, comprising variable degrees sperm competition and cryptic female choice, is an important evolutionary force to influence form function. Here we investigated the effects mating system spawning location on evolution morphology in 67 species Chinese anurans. We also examined how relative testes size as indicator level affected variation across a subset 29 species. found significant association with morphology. However, when removing body mass or...
Division of evaluation units and establishment membership functions are two key steps fuzzy comprehensive reclamation suitability abandoned mine lands. This paper improves both the method division establishment. Empirical research is carried out in Mentougou district Beijing China. It shows that as a mountainous area, among 603.79 hm2 lands Mentougou, highly moderately suitable area for agriculture use only 54.99 80.00 hm2. Lowly 468.80 can provide theoretical support practice reuse.
Large-scale systematic patterns of body size are a basic concern evolutionary biology. Identifying variation along altitudinal gradients may help us to understand the evolution life history animals. In this study, we investigated in size, age and growth rate Chinese endemic frog, Pelophylax pleuraden. Data sampled from five populations covering an span 1413 1935 m Sichuan province revealed that did not co-vary with altitudes, following Bergmann's rule. Average adult SVL differed...
Theory predicts that the degree of testes asymmetry should be positively correlated with male body condition in species directional testis asymmetry. We tested this prediction Rhacophorus omeimontis, a which females mate more than one male. Our results showed treefrogs did not exhibit absence size, but rather occurrence fluctuating Moreover, we also differences mass, asymmetry, and sperm size among initially paired, jointly unpaired males. found length differ three types. Testis mass...
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been implicated in the development of body pain, yet research on their impact pain and its progression remains scarce. This study aimed to examine associations between ACEs presence areas as well developmental trajectories among middle-aged older Chinese adults. We included participants aged 45 years above from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted 2011 2018. Retrospective data sites were collected with questionnaires. The at...

This study aimed to investigate the associations of obesity phenotypes with hypertension stages, phenotypes, and transitions among middle-aged older Chinese.Using 2011-2015 waves China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis included 9,015 subjects longitudinal 4,961 subjects, 4,872 having full data on stage 4,784 phenotype. Based body mass index waist circumstance, were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive phenotypes: normal weight no central (NWNCO),...
