Life‐history traits and fitness of plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) in alpine meadow ecosystem by Haiyan Nie, Jike Liu, Baoyang Chen

“…The research results showed that fitness of plateau pika to its habitat was lower than those of many other mammal species; plateau pika adopted quick growth strategy; the life‐history features of plateau pika were accorded with Charnov (Evolutionary Ecology Research, 2002, 4, 749)'s formula about life‐history classification, that is, E/α ≈ 1.35, C·E ≈ 1.7, I/m ≈ 0.3, in which E stands for average adult life span; α stands for age at first reproduction; C is reproductive effort; I is the size of an offspring at independence from the parent; m is average adult body mass. …”

Hooking the scientific community on thorny-headed worms: interesting and exciting facts, knowledge gaps and perspectives for research directions on Acanthocephala by Perrot-Minnot Marie-Jeanne, Cozzarolo Camille-Sophie, Amin Omar, Barčák Daniel, Bauer Alexandre, Filipović Marijić Vlatka, García-Varela Martín, Servando Hernández-Orts Jesús, Yen Le T.T., Nachev Milen, Orosová Martina, Rigaud Thierry, Šariri Sara, Wattier Rémi, Reyda Florian, Sures Bernd

“…Although interest in Acanthocephala seems to have reached only a small community of researchers worldwide, we show in this opinion article that this group of parasites is composed of excellent model organisms for studying key questions in parasite molecular biology and cytogenetics, evolutionary ecology, and ecotoxicology. Their shared ancestry with free-living rotifers makes them an ideal group to explore the origins of the parasitic lifestyle and evolutionary drivers of host shifts and environmental transitions. …”
