Take time to smell the frogs: vocal sac glands of reed frogs (Anura: Hyperoliidae) contain species-specific chemical cocktails [0.03%]
细嗅青蛙：纸蛙科蛙类的声囊腺含特异性化学物质混合物

Males of all reed frog species (Anura: Hyperoliidae) have a prominent, often colourful, gular patch on their vocal sac, which is particularly conspicuous once the vocal sac is inflated. Although the presence, shape, and form of the gular pa...
Ancestral Plasticity and Allometry in Threespine Stickleback Fish Reveal Phenotypes Associated with Derived, Freshwater Ecotypes [0.03%]
三刺鱼的祖先型塑性和全尺度性揭示了与衍生淡水生态类型相关的表型特征

Matthew A Wund et al.
For over a century, evolutionary biologists have debated whether and how phenotypic plasticity impacts the processes of adaptation and diversification. The empirical tests required to resolve these issues have proven elusive, mainly because...
Sex-specific developmental plasticity of generalist and specialist predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in response to food stress [0.03%]
食饵压力下两种广谱和专一性植绥螨的性别特异性发育可塑性响应研究

We studied developmental plasticity under food stress in three female-biased size dimorphic predatory mite species, Phytoseiulus persimilis, Neoseiulus californicus, and Amblyseius andersoni. All three species prey on two-spotted spider mit...
On the origin of a domesticated species: Identifying the parent population of Russian silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes) [0.03%]
一个家养物种的起源：识别俄罗斯银狐（Vulpes vulpes）的亲代种群

The foxes at Novosibirsk, Russia, are the only population of domesticated foxes in the world. These domesticated foxes originated from farm-bred silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes), whose genetic source is unknown. In this study we examined the or...
Ancestral populations perform better in a novel environment: domestication of medfly populations from five global regions [0.03%]

Geographically isolated populations of a species may differ in several aspects of life-history, morphology, behavior, and genetic structure as a result of adaptation in ecologically diverse habitats. We used a global invasive species, the M...

Many species of fish display morphological divergence between individuals feeding on macroinvertebrates associated with littoral habitats (benthic morphotypes) and individuals feeding on zooplankton in the limnetic zone (limnetic morphotype...

Pierre-François Duyck et al.
Variation in lifespan may be linked to geographic factors. While latitudinal variation in lifespan has been studied for a number of species, altitude variation has received much less attention, particularly in insects. We measured the lifes...
How to become a yucca moth: Minimal trait evolution needed to establish the obligate pollination mutualism [0.03%]
成为百合夜蛾的过程——建立 obligatory 传粉共生关系所需的性状演化程度很小
Jeremy B Yoder,Christopher Irwin Smith,Olle Pellmyr
Jeremy B Yoder
The origins of obligate pollination mutualisms, such as the classic yucca-yucca moth association, appear to require extensive trait evolution and specialization. To understand the extent to which traits truly evolved as part of establishing...
The development of an Arabidopsis model system for genome-wide analysis of polyploidy effects [0.03%]
泛基因组分析的拟南芥模型体系的发展

Z Jeffrey Chen et al.
Arabidopsis is a model system not only for studying numerous aspects of plant biology, but also for understanding mechanisms of the rapid evolutionary process associated with genome duplication and polyploidization. Although in animals inte...
