The results of the superposition of the LST and terrain factors The natural LST information of the study area was obtained by using a radiative transfer model combined with the maximum likelihood method (Fig. 5). As seen from Fig. 5, although the high-temperature areas of the built-up lands (associated with frequent human activities) and low-temperature […] More
Here we describe the results of a longitudinal study of the presence of parasites of the groups Nosematidae, Trypanosomatidae and Neogregarinorida in five homogenous colonies, which were monitored since the last trimester of 2014 until their collapse (the latest in August 2016). Molecular detection of parasites PCRs with specific primers allowed the detection and molecular […] More
The C. aesculifolia seed batches with positive response to priming present the two main transcriptional phases, as described for Arabidopsis: early and late germination A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to evaluate the RWC as a physiological trait during germination (Figs. 4a and 5a). For the PR phenotype, PC1 could explain 61% of the variance […] More

Data collection and sample sizes We collected 10–15 ornamental feathers (3–5 from each of the three ornamental areas—crown, breast, and rump, Fig. 1 in ref. 59) from 1196 free-living adult male house finches. To minimize temporal variation of feather wear and standardize sampling across long-term study populations, we only used feathers sampled during May–June from 2008 […] More
