Bark water affects the isotopic composition of xylem water in tropical rainforest trees by Adriana Vega Grau, John Herbohn, Susanne Schmidt, Jeffrey McDonnell, Jeffrey McDonnell, Jeffrey McDonnell

“…Here, we examined the variation in the isotopic composition of water in inner bark and xylem at the diel scale and assessed how this varied in relation to traits and water use strategies on nine tree species in a tropical rainforest at the end of the dry season. We measured δ2H and δ18O in bark and xylem at two shallow depths: ‘outer xylem’ and ‘inner xylem’ (up to ~0.5 cm and ~ 1 cm from inner bark, respectively) collected at predawn, morning and midday. …”

Body mass change over winter is consistently sex-specific across roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) populations by Hewison, A.J. Mark, Bonnot, Nadège C., Gaillard, Jean-Michel, Kjellander, Petter, Lemaitre, Jean-François, Morellet, Nicolas, Pellerin, Maryline

“…As a result of this sex-specific change in body mass, sexual mass dimorphism is lowest at the onset of the territorial season. We suggest that allocation to antler growth and territory establishment drives this pattern, providing a likely explanation to account for the lower rates of male adult survival that are consistently reported in this weakly dimorphic species.…”
