Limin Wang,Ibrahim M. Ahmad,Guiying Zhang,Yanfeng Sun,Yang Wang,Congnan Sun,Chuan Jiang,Dongming Li +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors reviewed the global demand volume for face masks and the associated energy consumption and pollution potential throughout their life cycle and proposed five reasonable countermeasures to alleviate these global-scale ecological crises induced by mask use during and following the COVID-19 pandemic era: increasing public awareness; improving mask waste management; innovating waste disposal methods; developing biodegradable masks; and formulating relevant policies and regulations.

Female lizards choose warm, moist nests that improve embryonic survivorship and offspring fitness
Shu-Ran Li,Shu-Ran Li,Xin Hao,Yang Wang,Bao-Jun Sun,Jun-Huai Bi,Yong-Pu Zhang,Fredric J. Janzen,Wei-Guo Du +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that female toad-headed agama chose warm and moist nest sites that improved the developmental rate and survivorship of embryos and promoted the post-hatching growth, sexual maturity, reproduction, and fitness of offspring, thereby improving their reproductive success.

Thermal ecology of three coexistent desert lizards: Implications for habitat divergence and thermal vulnerability.
TL;DR: Three sympatric lizards species in the desert steppe of Inner Mongolia, China have different thermoregulatory behavior and thermal physiology, which might facilitate their coexistence in the Desert steppe ecosystem.

The Embryos of Turtles Can Influence Their Own Sexual Destinies.
TL;DR: Model projections suggest that sex ratio shifts induced by global warming will be buffered by the ability of embryos to influence their sexual destiny via behavioral thermoregulation, expanding the range of ambient conditions under which nests produce equal numbers of male and female offspring.
