Spider sex pheromones: Emission, reception, structures, and functions

Article Abstract:

The emission, transmission, structures and functions of spider sex pheromones are discussed, with emphasis on the crucial and dynamic role of sex pheromones in female and male mating strategies. Techniques used for behavioral, chemical and electrophysiological analyses are summarized, also providing guidelines for incorporating sex pheromones into future studies of spider mating.

Fig-eating by vertebrate frugivores: a global review

Article Abstract:

A wide range of data is used to assess fig consumption by vertebrates. It is suggested that figs are consumed by a wide range of vertebrate frugivores, many of which function as seed dispersers. Discrete guilds of Ficus species share subsets of a particular frugivore community.

Development, structure, and function of a novel respiratory organ, the lung-air sac system of birds: To go where no other vertebrate has gone

Article Abstract:

The development, structure and function of the avian respiratory system are discussed. The crocodilian multicameral lung type has represented a Bauplan from which the respiratory organs of nonavian theropod dinosaurs and the lung-air sac system of birds appear to have evolved.
