Abstract: ABSTRACT To support life, the osmolality of the cellular fluid is tightly regulated by various means, including osmolyte control. Dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase (DCXR) is a highly conserved enzyme reducing L-xylulose to xylitol, which serves as an… read more here.

Abstract: In oviparous reptiles, parental care is often limited to the energy allocated to embryos before oviposition. Reproducing females can allocate energy toward vitellogenesis, determining the number and size of eggs, fertilization, eggshell calcification, retention of… read more here.

Abstract: Egg drift from the nest is clearly an important cause of mortality in lithophilic species; however, the effect of substrate composition on this process has been overlooked. Here, we investigated the role of substrate on… read more here.
