Leaving Academia: Insights from Evolutionary Biologists on Their Career Transitions and Job Satisfaction [0.03%]
走出学术圈——关于进化生物学家的职业转型和工作满意度的见解
Andrea J Betancourt,Seth Barribeau,Hildegard Uecker et al.
Andrea J Betancourt et al.
Many who have obtained PhDs in evolutionary biology will ultimately pursue careers that fall outside a narrow definition of an academic career. At the same time, PhD students and supervisors of PhD students are often ill-informed about care...
Mitochondrial genotypes affect thermal plasticity of longevity in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
线粒体基因型影响果蝇寿命的热塑性响应

Ekta Kochar et al.
Sequence variation in mitochondrial DNA was once considered neutral, but growing evidence indicates it can influence metabolic, physiological and life-history traits. Two hypotheses offer explanations for this non-neutral mtDNA variation: t...
Parental age effects on offspring fitness in a wild population of a short-lived reptile [0.03%]
短命 reptile 种群中父母年龄对后代体质的影响

C Ashlyn Crain et al.
As organisms age, the fitness of the offspring they produce can decline, which is often attributed to parental senescence. However, few studies have tested for effects of parental age on offspring fitness in wild populations or in short-liv...
The genetical evolution of social preferences: where the categorical imperatives of Hamilton, Kant and Nash meet [0.03%]
社会偏好的遗传演化：Hamilton、Kant和Nash的规范性指令相遇的地方

This paper models the genetical evolution of individual behavioral rules that guide the choice of strategies in pairwise assortative interactions under incomplete information. Building on results at the crossroads of evolutionary theory and...
Natural selection preserves trans-specific chloroplast diversity in a Mediterranean evergreen oak [0.03%]
自然选择保留了地中海常绿橡树跨物种的叶绿体多样性

Cork oak (Quercus suber) is an ecologically and economically important Western Mediterranean tree species in severe risk of decline due to aggravated tree mortality and lack of natural regeneration. In Q. suber, two distinct chloroplast lin...

Morphological evolution reflects a balance between the emergence of novel traits and the reduction or loss of existing traits, and both of these processes shape the diversity of life. Trait simplification, which involves the reduction or lo...
Mitonuclear interactions and early-life diet shape adult nutritional behaviour [0.03%]
线粒体核基因组互作及早期饮食影响成年营养行为

Stefano Bettinazzi et al.
Mitochondrial function relies on close coordination between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Disruption to this coordination-via mitonuclear mismatch-can impair metabolic efficiency, particularly under energetically demanding conditio...
Distinctive increase in offspring size in sea otters: evolutionary changes in and beyond the trade-off against offspring number [0.03%]
海獭后代体型的独特增大现象：超出后代数量权衡的进化变化
Tomohiro Harano,Nobuyuki Kutsukake
Tomohiro Harano
Offspring size and number, key fitness components, are expected to evolve under a trade-off between them. In mammals, the evolution of larger offspring size may be promoted in aquatic environments, where the selective advantages of large bo...
Promoting the use of phylogenetic multinomial generalised mixed-effects model to understand the evolution of discrete traits [0.03%]
推广使用谱系多元广义混合效应模型来理解离散性状的进化规律

Ayumi Mizuno et al.
Phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) are fundamental tools for understanding trait evolution across species. While linear models are widely used for continuous traits in ecology and evolution, their application to discrete traits, partic...
The relationship between morphology and flight in Drosophila: a first approach to its genetic basis [0.03%]
果蝇形态与飞行的关系及其遗传基础的初步研究
Nicolás Flaibani,Marian C Sabio,Juan J Fanara et al.
Nicolás Flaibani et al.
Flight is a crucial activity for winged insects, involving diverse behaviors, and wing morphology has often been proposed as a key factor influencing flight capacity. Traits such as wing loading, wing: ratio, and wing aspect ratio have been...
