Sex and habitat differences in size and coloration of an amphibian's poison glands match differential predator pressures by ZAMORA‐CAMACHO, Francisco Javier

“…Chemical defenses are frequently accompanied by salient color patterns actively avoided by predators, a phenomenon referred to as aposematism. However, the…”

Contextualising the bizarre: The integrated functioning of rib puncture as an antipredator defence in the Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl) by Zamora‐Camacho, Francisco Javier

“…Numerous prey traits are the result of the pervasive evolutionary pressure imposed by predators. Mirroring their fundamental role in the fitness of prey, some…”

The relationships between toad behaviour, antipredator defences, and spatial and sexual variation in predation pressure by Zamora-Camacho, Francisco Javier

“…Animal behaviour is under strong selection. Selection on behaviour, however, might not act in isolation from other fitness-related traits. Since predators…”

Elevational variation in body-temperature response to immune challenge in a lizard by Zamora-Camacho, Francisco Javier, Reguera, Senda, Moreno-Rueda, Gregorio

“…Immunocompetence benefits animal fitness by combating pathogens, but also entails some costs. One of its main components is fever, which in ectotherms involves…”

Hindlimb abnormality reduces locomotor performance in Pelobates cultripes metamorphs but is not predicted by larval morphometrics by Zamora-Camacho, Francisco Javier, Aragón, Pedro

“…Locomotor performance is a fundamental feature commonly related to many animals’ fitness. In most cases, locomotor performance is closely related to morphology…”

Locomotor performance in a running toad: roles of morphology, sex and agrosystem versus natural habitat by Zamora-Camacho, Francisco Javier

“…Abstract Locomotor performance is often key in animal fitness, and may be affected by habitat anthropization. This study compares locomotor performance of…”

Keep the ball rolling: sexual differences in conglobation behavior of a terrestrial isopod under different degrees of perceived predation pressure by Zamora-Camacho, Francisco Javier

“…Antipredator behaviors are theoretically subjected to a balance by which their display should be minimized when their benefits do not outweigh their costs…”

Direct and indirect effects of chronic exposure to ammonium on anuran larvae survivorship, morphology, and swimming speed by Zambrano-Fernández, Sonia, Zamora-Camacho, Francisco Javier, Aragón, Pedro
