Abstract: Alternative morphotypes have been reported in males of different taxa. In some mammals highly masculinized and slightly masculinized males represent two opposite ends along a gradient of phe
We collected data during August 2016–June 2018 using 106 remote cameras (Stealth Cam, model N45NG; Irving, Texas, USA). Nearest distance between cameras was 3,000 m for 63 cameras and 4,225 m for 43 c
Background: Extreme environments can impose strong ecological and evolutionary pressures at a local level. Ectotherms are particularly sensitive to low-temperature environments, which can result in a
