Evolution of the batoidea pectoral fin skeleton: convergence, modularity, and integration driving disparity trends [0.03%]
板鳃鱼胸鳍骨骼的演化：趋同性、模块化和整合推动差异趋势

Batoids (skates and rays) are the most speciose group of cartilaginous fishes with a diverse array of ecological adaptations and swimming modes. Early skeletal fossil remains and recent phylogenetic analyses suggest that convergence among b...

Animals often show consistency in their behavioural repertoire across time and/or contexts that differs from other individuals of the same population, i.e. animal personality. We currently have quite an incomplete understanding of the facto...
Automated workflows using Quantitative Colour Pattern Analysis (QCPA): a guide to batch processing and downstream data analysis [0.03%]
基于定量色彩图案分析（QCPA）的自动化工作流：批处理和后期数据处理指南
Cedric P van den Berg,Nicholas D Condon,Cara Conradsen et al.
Cedric P van den Berg et al.
Animal and plant colouration presents a striking dimension of phenotypic variation, the study of which has driven general advances in ecology, evolution, and animal behaviour. Quantitative Colour Pattern Analysis (QCPA) is a dynamic framewo...
A Call For More Ecologically And Evolutionarily Relevant Studies of Immune Costs [0.03%]
关于开展更多生态学和进化意义的免疫功能研究的倡议
Kristofer Trey Sasser,Jesse N Weber
Kristofer Trey Sasser
What are the relative costs and benefits of mounting immune responses? Practitioners of ecoimmunology have grappled with this central question since the field's inception with the main tension being how to make tractable methodological choi...
Beyond canonical models: why a broader understanding of Diptera-microbiota interactions is essential for vector-borne disease control [0.03%]
超越经典模型：为何对双翅目微生物群相互作用的更广泛理解对于媒介传播疾病控制至关重要

Aldo A Arellano
Vector-borne diseases constitute a major global public health threat. The most significant arthropod disease vectors are predominantly comprised of members of the insect order Diptera (true flies), which have long been the focus of research...
Strongly sexually dimorphic forelegs are not more condition-dependent than less dimorphic traits in Drosophila prolongata [0.03%]
《果蝇Drosophila prolongata》强性二型前肢并不比较少性二型的特征更具条件依赖性

Directional sexual selection drives the evolution of traits that are most closely linked to reproductive success, giving rise to trait exaggeration and sexual dimorphism. Exaggerated structures are often costly and, therefore, thought to be...
Altered within- and between-host transmission under coinfection underpin parasite co-occurrence patterns in the wild [0.03%]
感染下的宿主内和宿主间传播的改变决定了野生环境中寄生虫共存的模式
Suvi Sallinen,Hanna Susi,Fletcher Halliday et al.
Suvi Sallinen et al.
Interactions among parasite species coinfecting the same host individual can have far reaching consequences for parasite ecology and evolution. How these within-host interactions affect epidemics may depend on two non-exclusive mechanisms: ...
Genomic heterozygosity is associated with parasite abundance, but the effects are not mediated by host condition [0.03%]
基因组杂合性与寄生虫数量有关，但这种影响并非通过宿主状况介导的

Whether, when, and how genetic diversity buffers individuals and populations against infectious disease risk is a critical and open question for understanding wildlife disease and zoonotic disease risk. Several, but not all, studies have fo...
Predation impacts brain allometry in female guppies (Poecilia reticulata) [0.03%]
捕食影响雌性孔雀鱼(Poecilia reticulata)的大脑非量性增长率

Regina Vega-Trejo et al.
Cognitive and sensory abilities are vital in affecting survival under predation risk, leading to selection on brain anatomy. However, how exactly predation and brain evolution are linked has not yet been resolved, as current empirical evide...
Are mutations usually deleterious? A perspective on the fitness effects of mutation accumulation [0.03%]
突变通常是有害的吗？论累积突变的适应度效应
Kevin Bao,Robert H Melde,Nathaniel P Sharp
Kevin Bao
All adaptive alleles in existence today began as mutations, but a common view in ecology, evolution, and genetics is that non-neutral mutations are much more likely to be deleterious than beneficial and will be removed by purifying selectio...
