The ecology of overwintering among turtles: Where turtles overwinter and its consequences
Article Abstract:
The ecological aspects of overwintering among turtles is emphasized and the way overwintering stresses affect the physiology, behavior, distributions, and life histories of various species are considered. Sea turtles are the only group of turtles that migrate extensively, and could therefore avoid northern winter, otherwise, each year a number of turtles, largely juveniles, are killed when trapped by cold fronts before they move to safer water.

Sexually transmitted diseases of insect: Distribution, evolution, ecology and host behavior
Article Abstract:
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are important factor in host population dynamics and have vital potential in the evolution and ecology of their hosts. A collection of total number 73 species of parasites and pathogen from approximately 182 species of host are reported to be responsible for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in insects like mites, nematodes, fungi, protests and viruses.
