Recent palaeontological data and novel physiological hypotheses now allow a timescaled
reconstruction of the evolution of endothermy in birds and mammals. A three‐phase iterative …

Ontogenetic allometries in ecological habits and niche use are key responses by which
individuals maximize lifetime fitness. Moreover, such allometries have significant …

Abstract The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the world's largest lizard and
endemic to five islands in Eastern Indonesia. The current management of this species is …

Camera trapping has greatly enhanced population monitoring of often cryptic and low
abundance apex carnivores. Effectiveness of passive infrared camera trapping, and …

The diverse ichnofaunas of the Late Triassic have been studied for almost 200 years. During
the Late Triassic, facies favorable for the preservation of trace fossils were the result of low …

Finding practical ways to robustly estimate abundance or density trends in threatened
species is a key facet for effective conservation management. Further identifying less …

Species inhabiting archipelagos are often characterised by high levels of interpopulation
divergence (eg size related traits). This divergence may, in turn, influence their life-history …

The roles of density-dependent and density-independent factors in the dynamics of tropical
large herbivore populations are poorly understood. Understanding these dynamics is …

The population dynamics of island species are considered particularly sensitive to variation
in environmental, demographic and/or genetic processes. However, few studies have …

The rapid tourism development of Komodo National Park (KNP) as part of the restructuring
of the Labuan Bajo strategic tourism area in Indonesia has aroused concerns. The …
