Interactive effects of social environment, age and sex on immune responses in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
社会环境、年龄和性别对果蝇免疫反应的交互作用

Thomas Leech et al.
Social environments have been shown to have multiple effects on individual immune responses. For example, increased social contact might signal greater infection risk and prompt a prophylactic upregulation of immunity. This differential inv...

A growing number of experimental and theoretical studies show the importance of partner choice as a mechanism to promote the evolution of cooperation, especially in humans. In this paper, we focus on the question of the precise quantitative...
Evolutionary potential of a widespread clonal grass under changing climate [0.03%]
气候变化下一种广布无性系草种的进化潜能

Adaptive responses are probably the most effective long-term responses of populations to climate change, but they require sufficient evolutionary potential upon which selection can act. This requires high genetic variance for the traits und...
Temperature coupling of mate attraction signals and female mate preferences in four populations of Enchenopa treehopper (Hemiptera: Membracidae) [0.03%]
四种拟草树甲（Hemiptera: Membracidae）种群中求偶信号和雌性求偶偏好之间的温度耦合现象研究

Dowen Mae I Jocson et al.
Variation in temperature can affect the expression of a variety of important fitness-related behaviours, including those involved with mate attraction and selection, with consequences for the coordination of mating across variable environme...
May the (selective) force be with you: Spatial sorting and natural selection exert opposing forces on limb length in an invasive amphibian [0.03%]
空间排序和自然选择对入侵两栖动物肢体长度施加相反的作用力

Spatial sorting on invasion fronts drives the evolution of dispersive phenotypes, and in doing so can push phenotypes in the opposite direction to natural selection. The invasion of cane toads (Rhinella marina) through tropical Australia ha...

Cooperative interactions between species, termed mutualisms, play a key role in shaping natural ecosystems, economically important agricultural systems, and in influencing human health. Across different mutualisms, there is significant vari...

Female genitalia have been largely neglected in studies of genital evolution, perhaps due to the long-standing belief that they are relatively invariable and therefore taxonomically and evolutionarily uninformative in comparison with male g...
Allopatric and sympatric diversification within roach (Rutilus rutilus) of large pre-alpine lakes [0.03%]
大型前山湖中白鱼类(Rutilus rutilus)的异域和同域分化

Intraspecific differentiation in response to divergent natural selection between environments is a common phenomenon in some northern freshwater fishes, especially salmonids and stickleback. Understanding why these taxa diversify and underg...
The role of functional constraints in nonrandom mating patterns for a dance fly with female ornaments [0.03%]
功能性约束在具有雌性饰物的舞 flies 非随机交配模式中的作用

Rosalind L Murray
Most hypotheses to explain nonrandom mating patterns invoke mate choice, particularly in species that display elaborate ornaments. However, conflicting selection pressures on traits can result in functional constraints that can also cause n...

Post-copulatory sexual selection, and sperm competition in particular, is a powerful selective force shaping the evolution of sperm morphology. Although mounting evidence suggests that post-copulatory sexual selection influences the evoluti...
