Body size and net energy gain in gape-limited predators: A model
- 1996
-
Ingår i: JOURNAL OF HERPETOLOGY. - : SOC STUD AMPHIBIANS REPTILES. - 0022-1511. ; 30:3, s. 307-319
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In snakes and other predators that swallow their food whole, gape size sets an upper limit to ingestible prey size. Individuals that vary in body size and swallowing capacity will therefore differ not only in energy requirements but also in rates of food

Fearful symmetry: pattern size and asymmetry affects aposematic signal efficacy
- 1999
-
Ingår i: EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY. - : KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL. - 0269-7653. ; 13:2, s. 131-140
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aposematic animals use anti-predator defence mechanisms such as distastefulness coupled with distinctive odours, sounds, or colour patterns to signal their unprofitability to potential predators. By subjecting artificial 'butterflies' with different visua

OPPOSING FITNESS CONSEQUENCES OF COLONS PATTERN IN MALE AND FEMALE SNAKES
- 1995
-
Ingår i: JOURNAL OF EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY. - : BIRKHAUSER VERLAG AG. - 1010-061X. ; 8:1, s. 53-70
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Local populations of the adder, Vipera berus, are polymorphic for dorsal colour pattern, containing both melanistic (black) and zig-zag patterned individuals. Colour patterns in snakes influence crypsis and thermoregulatory capacity and therefore may be s

Resource dependent growth and body condition dynamics in juvenile snakes: An experiment
- 1996

Ingår i: OECOLOGIA. - : SPRINGER VERLAG. - 0029-8549. ; 108:4, s. 669-675
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We examined the manner in which animals adjust the proportion of energy allocated to growth and storage in response to food availability. We compared univariate growth and length-mass relationships between juvenile adders (Vipera berus) reared under two d

Thermal capacity of different colour morphs in the pygmy grasshopper Tetrix subulata

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I examined the relative importance of colour pattern, body size and shape for thermoregulation by experimentally subjecting adult female Tetrix subulata belonging to four different colour morphs (black, striped, brown, and white) to augmented irradiation

Visual predators impose correlational selection on prey color pattern and behavior
- 1998
-
Ingår i: BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY. - : OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC. - 1045-2249. ; 9:4, s. 409-413
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Several lines of indirect evidence suggest that selection imposed by predators may favor certain combinations of prey coloration and behavior at the expense of other combinations, but this hypothesis has never been tested experimentally. We manipulated co
