There is a lack of information for potential winter activity of the snake-eyed lizard Ophisops elegans in Europe, where it has a limited distribution.To test the hypothesis that this species can be active during the winter months, two locations in Bulgaria were chosen.The visits were conducted in January, February and December 2022 near the JASMINE

Background Sexual selection and conflicts within and between sexes promote morphological diversity Books of reproductive traits within species.Variation in the morphology of diagnostic reproductive characters within species offer an excellent opportunity to study these evolutionary processes as drivers of species diversification.The African monarch

Recently, interest in youth entrepreneurship has been fuelled due Books to high levels of unemployment amongst young people and as a way to foster employment opportunities or to address social exclusion.Youth entrepreneurship has gained more importance in recent years in many countries, with increased interest in entrepreneurship as a way of boosti

Snakebite incidence at least partly depends on the biology of the snakes involved.However, studies of snake biology have been largely neglected in favour of anthropic factors, with the exception of taxonomy, which has been recognised for some decades to affect the design of antivenoms.Despite this, within-species venom variation and the unpredictab

Mitochondria, long known as the cell powerhouses, also regulate redox signaling and arbitrate cell survival.The organelles are now appreciated to exert additional critical roles in cell state transition from a pluripotent to a differentiated state through balancing glycolytic and respiratory metabolism.These metabolic adaptations were recently show
