Specialisation into different ecological niches is assumed as an important driver of speciation in sympatry. Here we focused on male-male competition fuelling population divergence, without assuming any ecological specialisation. We investi...

The space-for-time substitution (SFTS) approach is widely used to predict evolutionary trait responses to global warming. The current approach ignores the explicit role of the gut microbiome in shaping the future host phenotype, despite its...

Sperm heteromorphism, the production multiple discrete sperm types (or "morphs"), occurs in diverse animal and plant taxa. This phenomenon represents a division of labor by male gametes, with one morph participating in fertilization and the...

Monogyny-where a male invests all his reproductive effort in a single female-is a rare and poorly understood mating system. It contradicts conventional sex roles, in which males typically seek multiple mates while females may mate repeatedl...
Burrowing Behavior and Species Recognition Predict Color Pattern Evolution in Freshwater Crayfishes [0.03%]

Color patterns are the spatial arrangements of contrasting colors on an organism's body and can have several non-mutually exclusive functions, including crypsis, species recognition, or as a warning display. Here, I test how color patterns ...
Clinging strength, but not sprint speed, underlies morphological divergence between ecologically distinct Liolaemus species [0.03%]
依附力量而非冲刺速度是生态上不同的Liolaemus物种形态分化的重要因素

Biomechanical theory suggests a strong link between an organism's physical structure and its ability to perform specific functions. Animals specialized for a particular type of movement, such as running or climbing, are expected to have dif...
Predation and the Evolution of Island Bird Plumage Colouration: Experimental Insights from Island and Mainland Environments [0.03%]
捕食与岛屿鸟类羽毛色彩演化：来自岛屿和大陆环境的实验见解

Ana V Leitão et al.
Islands serve as natural laboratories for exploring evolutionary processes, often fostering unique species through isolation and distinct ecological conditions. Bird plumage colouration frequently differs in island populations, with island ...

Environmental variation can induce phenotypic changes through adaptation of populations and acclimation of individuals. While genetic adaptation creates persistent change within a population via allele frequency shifts, reversible plastic p...
Chromosomal Rearrangements: Tempo and Mode of Karyotype Evolution in Scarabaeoidea [0.03%]
甲虫繁变录——粪金龟超family染色体进化中的速率与模式

Karyotype evolution, including changes in chromosome number and structure, is a fundamental process that can influence genome organization and speciation. Here, we analyze patterns of chromosome number evolution and sex chromosome-autosome ...
