2019 journal article

Noninvasive measures of physiological stress are confounded by exposure

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 9.

By: D. Lafferty*, M. Zimova*, L. Clontz n, K. Hacklander* & L. Mills*

MeSH headings : Animals; Confounding Factors, Epidemiologic; Environmental Exposure; Feces / chemistry; Female; Glucocorticoids / metabolism; Hares / physiology; Male; Metabolome; Models, Biological; Stress, Physiological
TL;DR: The effect of fecal pellet age on FGM concentrations varied across treatments with warm-dry and cool-wet conditions resulting in more variable FGM concentration relative to control samples, and researchers are encouraged to develop a temporally consistent sampling protocol to ensure all samples are exposed to similar environmental conditions.

Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?

BIOLOGICAL REVIEWS, 93(3), 1478–1498.

author keywords: coat colour moult; seasonal adaptation; camouflage mismatch; climate change; phenotypic mismatch; hare; arctic fox; weasel; Siberian hamster; ptarmigan
MeSH headings : Animals; Birds / physiology; Climate Change; Mammals / physiology; Molting; Pigmentation; Seasons
TL;DR: It is found that across species, the main function of SCC moults is seasonal camouflage against snow, and photoperiod is the main driver of the moult phenology, and the synthesis suggests that due to limited plasticity in S CC moulting, evolutionary adaptation will be necessary to mediate future camouflage mismatch.

Winter color polymorphisms identify global hot spots for evolutionary rescue from climate change

SCIENCE, 359(6379), 1033–1036.

MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Biological Mimicry; Climate Change; Molting; Pigmentation; Seasons; Vertebrates
TL;DR: Environmentally driven clinal gradients in winter coat color are identified, including polymorphic zones where winter brown and white morphs co-occur, which indicate hot spots for evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. (via Semantic Scholar)
