Key Adaptive Trait Promotes Contrasting Modes of Diversification in a Bivalve Clade [0.03%]
关键适应性状促进了双壳纲中不同的多样化模式
Emily R Nigro,Katie S Collins,Stewart M Edie et al.
Emily R Nigro et al.
Siphons in bivalves have been postulated as a key adaptive trait, enabling modes of life inaccessible to asiphonate lineages, that afford better protection from predation and dislodgement, thereby enhancing their taxonomic diversification. ...
Geographic Variation in Genomic Signals of Admixture Between Two Closely Related European Sepsid Fly Species [0.03%]
两种欧洲鱼巨角蚊种基因组杂交信号的地理变异
Athene Giesen,Wolf U Blanckenhorn,Martin A Schäfer et al.
Athene Giesen et al.
The extent of interspecific gene flow and its consequences for the initiation, maintenance, and breakdown of species barriers in natural systems remain poorly understood. Interspecific gene flow by hybridization may weaken adaptive divergen...
Investigating the Relationship Between Body Shape and Life History Traits in Toothed Whales: Can Body Shape Predict Fast-Slow Life Histories? [0.03%]
形态如何影响齿鲸的生活史特征？形体形态可以预测生活史的快慢吗？
Steven H Ferguson,Jeff W Higdon,Chloe Schmidt et al.
Steven H Ferguson et al.
A widespread pattern in vertebrate life-history evolution is for species to evolve towards either fast or slow life histories; however, the underlying causes of this pattern remain unclear. Toothed whales (Odontoceti) are a diverse group wi...
Genes that are Used Together are More Likely to be Fused Together in Evolution by Mutational Mechanisms: A Bioinformatic Test of the Used-Fused Hypothesis [0.03%]
联合使用的基因在进化过程中因突变机制而更有可能融合在一起：对使用-融合假说的生物信息学检验

Evgeni Bolotin
Cases of parallel or recurrent gene fusions in evolution as well as in genetic disease and cancer are difficult to explain, because unlike point mutations, they can require the repetition of a similar configuration of multiple breakpoints r...
A Registration and Deep Learning Approach to Automated Landmark Detection for Geometric Morphometrics [0.03%]
几何形态计量学的自动地标检测的注册和深度学习方法
Jay Devine,Jose D Aponte,David C Katz et al.
Jay Devine et al.
Geometric morphometrics is the statistical analysis of landmark-based shape variation and its covariation with other variables. Over the past two decades, the gold standard of landmark data acquisition has been manual detection by a single ...

Anne Le Maître et al.
Encapsulated within the temporal bone and comprising the smallest elements of the vertebrate skeleton, the ear is key to multiple senses: balance, posture control, gaze stabilization, and hearing. The transformation of the primary jaw joint...
Extrinsic Mortality Can Shape Life-History Traits, Including Senescence [0.03%]
外源性死亡率可以塑造生活史特征，包括衰老本身
Maciej J Dańko,Oskar Burger,Krzysztof Argasiński et al.
Maciej J Dańko et al.
The Williams' hypothesis is one of the most widely known ideas in life history evolution. It states that higher adult mortality should lead to faster and/or earlier senescence. Theoretically derived gradients, however, do not support this p...
Is the Capacity for Vocal Learning in Vertebrates Rooted in Fish Schooling Behavior? [0.03%]
脊椎动物的声乐学习能力源自鱼类的群游行为吗？
Matz Larsson,Benjamin W Abbott
Matz Larsson
The capacity to learn and reproduce vocal sounds has evolved in phylogenetically distant tetrapod lineages. Vocal learners in all these lineages express similar neural circuitry and genetic factors when perceiving, processing, and reproduci...
The Macroecology of Chemical Communication in Lizards: Do Climatic Factors Drive the Evolution of Signalling Glands? [0.03%]
关于石龙子化学通讯的宏观生态学：气候因素驱动信号腺体进化吗？
Manuel Jara,Alba Frias-De-Diego,Roberto García-Roa et al.
Manuel Jara et al.
Chemical communication plays a pivotal role in shaping sexual and ecological interactions among animals. In lizards, fundamental mechanisms of sexual selection such as female mate choice have rarely been shown to be influenced by quantitati...
Eco-Evolutionary Processes Generating Diversity Among Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, Populations off Baja California, Mexico [0.03%]
生成下加利福尼亚半岛湾瓶鼻 dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) 种群差异的生态进化过程
Iris Segura-García,Liliana Rojo-Arreola,Axayácatl Rocha-Olivares et al.
Iris Segura-García et al.
For highly mobile species that nevertheless show fine-scale patterns of population genetic structure, the relevant evolutionary mechanisms determining structure remain poorly understood. The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is one su...
