Morphological adaptations in the jaws of snakes directly enable many elements of their unique feeding ecology, including the ability to swallow large prey items whole. However, macroevolutionary trends between snake dietary ecology and jaw ...
The mechanics of male courtship display behaviour in the Ptiloris riflebirds (Aves: Paradisaeidae) [0.03%]

Sexual selection through female choice has driven the evolution of some of the most elaborate signalling behaviours in animals. These displays often require specialized morphological adaptations and may incorporate signals in multiple senso...
Genetic divergence outpaces phenotypic evolution among threespine stickleback populations in old freshwater habitats [0.03%]
在古老的淡水环境中三刺鱼种群的基因分化超过了表型进化速率

Mark C Currey
Species such as threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) that inhabit divergent selective environments and that have diversified on different time scales can be of value for understanding evolutionary processes. Here we synthesize hi...

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) is an iconic carnivoran species of the Northern Hemisphere. Its population history has been studied extensively using mitochondrial markers, which demonstrated signatures of multiple waves of migration, arguabl...
Adaptive body patterning, three-dimensional skin morphology and camouflage measures of the slender filefish Monacanthus tuckeri on a Caribbean coral reef [0.03%]
细鳞棘鱼( Tuckeri 单刺鱼)在加勒比珊瑚礁上的适应性体型图案、三维皮肤形态和伪装措施

Justine J Allen et al.
The slender filefish is a master of adaptive camouflage and can change its appearance within 1-3 seconds. Videos and photographs of this animal's cryptic body patterning and behavior were collected in situ under natural light on a Caribbean...
Convergent developmental patterns underlie the repeated evolution of adhesive toe pads among lizards [0.03%]

How developmental modifications produce key innovations, which subsequently allow for rapid diversification of a clade into new adaptive zones, has received much attention. However, few studies have used a robust comparative framework to in...
Genomic differentiation in an endemic Philippine genus (Aves: Sarcophanops) owing to geographical isolation on recently disassociated islands [0.03%]
由于最近分离的菲律宾岛屿上的地理隔离而在一个特有的属(鸟:Sarcophanops)中产生基因组差异性
Luke C Campillo,Joseph D Manthey,Robert C Thomson et al.
Luke C Campillo et al.
Phylogeographical studies of Philippine vertebrates have demonstrated that genetic variation is broadly partitioned by Pleistocene island aggregation. Contemporary island discontinuity is expected to influence genetic differentiation but re...
Hybrid effects in field populations of the African monarch butterfly, Danaus chrysippus (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) [0.03%]
非洲 monarch 蝴蝶,Danaus chrysippus (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) 的野生群体中的杂合效应

David As Smith et al.
Heterosis, Haldane and Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller effects have been widely documented amongst a range of plants and animals. However, typically these effects are shown by taking parents of known genotype into the laboratory and measuring com...
Comparative phylogeography of two Northern Rocky Mountain endemics: the widespread Anguispira kochi occidentalis and the narrow-range Anguispira nimapuna (Gastropoda: Discidae) [0.03%]
northern rocky mountains的两种特有物种的比较谱地地理学:广泛分布的Anguispira kochi occidentalis和狭域分布的Anguispira nimapuna(腹足纲:Discidae族)
Andrew M Rankin,Frank E Anderson,Stephanie A Clutts et al.
Andrew M Rankin et al.
The Northern Rocky Mountain ecosystem supports rich biological diversity with many endemic and rare species. Extant endemics display two biogeographic patterns: widespread species with fragmented populations, and narrow-range endemics. Thes...
Minimal prezygotic isolation between ecologically divergent sibling species [0.03%]

Divergence in mating signals typically accompanies speciation. We examine two ecologically divergent sibling species of crickets to assess the degree and timing of the evolution of prezygotic reproductive isolation. Gryllus saxatilis occurs...
