Experimental test of the influence of light availability on the evolution of eye size and behaviour in Daphnia [0.03%]
光照对水蚤(Daphnia)眼睛大小和行为进化影响的实验测试
Kaitlyn Howell,Sarah Muh,Bibek Parajuli et al.
Kaitlyn Howell et al.
There exists extensive variation in eye size. Much work has provided a connection between light availability and differences in eye size across taxa. Experimental tests of the role of the light environment on the evolution of eye size are l...
More to legs than meets the eye: Presence and function of pheromone compounds on heliothine moth legs [0.03%]
足亦有味：棉铃虫属昆虫的足上存在并发挥功能的信息素物质

Chemical communication is ubiquitous in nature and chemical signals convey species-specific messages. Despite their specificity, chemical signals may not be limited to only one function. Identifying alternative functions of chemical signals...
Specific resistance prevents the evolution of general resistance and facilitates disease emergence [0.03%]
专化抗性会阻碍泛化抗性的进化并促进病害的发生与发展

Samuel V Hulse et al.
Host-shifts, where pathogens jump from an ancestral host to a novel host, can be facilitated or impeded by standing variation in disease resistance, but only if resistance provides broad-spectrum general resistance against multiple pathogen...

Differences in the strength of sexual selection between males and females can lead to sexual dimorphism. Extra-pair paternity (EPP) can increase the variance in male reproductive success and hence the opportunity for sexual selection. Previ...
How do host plant use and seasonal life cycle relate to insect body size: A case study on European geometrid moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) [0.03%]
寄主植物利用与季节生活史对昆虫体型的影响研究——欧洲尺蛾科昆虫一例分析(Lepidoptera:Geometridae)

Carlo L Seifert
We used European geometrid moths (>630 species) as a model group to investigate how life history traits linked to larval host plant use (i.e., diet breadth and host-plant growth form) and seasonal life cycle (i.e., voltinism, overwintering ...
Consequences of adaptation to larval crowding on sexual and fecundity selection in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]

Sexual selection is a major force influencing the evolution of sexually reproducing species. Environmental factors such as larval density can manipulate adult condition and influence the direction and strength of sexual selection. While mos...
Sex-specific paternal age effects on offspring quality in Drosophila melanogaster [0.03%]
果蝇黑腹幼虫父代年龄特异性效应研究
Prem Aguilar,Berfin Dag,Pau Carazo et al.
Prem Aguilar et al.
Advanced paternal age has been repeatedly shown to modulate offspring quality via male- and/or female-driven processes, and there are theoretical reasons to expect that some of these effects can be sex-specific. For example, sex allocation ...
Examining the potential for resource-dependent female reproductive fluid-sperm interactive effects in a livebearing fish [0.03%]
探究一种胎生鱼中资源依赖型雌性生殖液-精子相互作用的潜在影响

Erika Fernlund Isaksson
Sexually selected traits can be costly to produce and maintain. The amount of resources available to an individual is therefore expected to influence investment in costly sexual traits. While resource-dependent expression of sexually select...
Range expansions of sexual versus asexual organisms: Effects of reproductive assurance and migration load [0.03%]
有性繁殖和无性繁殖生物的范围扩张：生殖保证和迁移负荷的影响
Takeaki Satow,Gaku Takimoto
Takeaki Satow
It is generally considered that sexual organisms show faster evolutionary adaptation than asexual organisms because sexuals can accumulate adaptive mutations through recombination. Yet, empirical evidence often shows that the geographic ran...
Evidence of prezygotic isolation, but not assortative mating, between locally adapted populations of Fundulus heteroclitus across a salinity gradient [0.03%]
盐度梯度上Fundulus heteroclitus局部适应种群的交配隔离证据，但并非选择性交配现象
Reid S Brennan,Andrew Whitehead
Reid S Brennan
Selection along environmental gradients can drive reproductive isolation and speciation. Among fishes, salinity is a major factor limiting species distributions, and despite its importance in generating species diversity, speciation events ...
