Traits that mediate reproductive isolation between species, such as those involved in mate choice and/or recognition, are predicted to experience stabilizing selection towards the species mean. Male orchid bees collect chemical compounds fr...
How to fail in advertising: The potential of marketing theory to predict the community-level selection of defended prey [0.03%]
广告失败的原因：营销理论在预测社区水平防御性猎物选择中的潜力分析

Economics and ecology both present us with a key challenge: scaling up from individual behaviour to community-level effects. As a result, biologists have frequently utilized theories and frameworks from economics in their attempt to better ...
Spatial variation in the evolutionary potential and constraints of basal metabolic rate and body mass in a wild bird [0.03%]
基于野生鸟类的基线代谢率和体重的进化潜能和约束的时空变化

Ådne M Nafstad et al.
An organism's energy budget is strongly related to resource consumption, performance, and fitness. Hence, understanding the evolution of key energetic traits, such as basal metabolic rate (BMR), in natural populations is central for underst...
Environmental and genealogical effects on DNA methylation in a widespread apomictic dandelion lineage [0.03%]
环境和谱系对一种广布无融合生殖蒲公英谱系DNA甲基化的影响
Verónica Noé Ibañez,Morgane van Antro,Cristian Peña-Ponton et al.
Verónica Noé Ibañez et al.
DNA methylation in plant genomes occurs in different sequences and genomic contexts that have very different properties. DNA methylation that occurs in CG (mCG) sequence context shows transgenerational stability and high epimutation rate, a...
Fast drug rotation reduces bacterial resistance evolution in a microcosm experiment [0.03%]
快速换药减少微宇宙实验中的细菌耐药性进化

Drug rotation (cycling), in which multiple drugs are administrated alternatively, has the potential for limiting resistance evolution in pathogens. The frequency of drug alternation could be a major factor to determine the effectiveness of ...
Evolutionary coexistence in a fluctuating environment by specialization on resource level [0.03%]
通过资源层级专业化在波动环境中共同进化生存

Microbial communities in fluctuating environments, such as oceans or the human gut, contain a wealth of diversity. This diversity contributes to the stability of communities and the functions they have in their hosts and ecosystems. To impr...
Trade-off between pre and post-copulatory traits depends on locomotor activity in male Tribolium castaneum beetles [0.03%]
米象科红谷盗中交配前和交配后特征的权衡取决于雄性运动活动度
Kentarou Matsumura
Kentarou Matsumura
Locomotor performance is an indicator of dynamic exercise; thus, it is a central trait in many animal behaviours. Although higher locomotor endurance may increase male reproductive success (e.g., in mate searching and male-male contests), i...
Larval development and poor trophic resource availability: Local adaptations and plasticity in a widespread amphibian species [0.03%]
蝌蚪发育与营养资源的可获得性：一个广布两栖动物种类中的适应和可塑性响应
Raoul Manenti,Nadiah Kristensen,Paola Cogliati et al.
Raoul Manenti et al.
Theory predicts that, in organisms with complex life cycles, if the earlier-stage limiting factor induces weak later-stage phenotypes, the development of the later-stage trait should evolve to reduce carry-over effects. Local adaptations co...
Towards a global perspective for Salvia L.: Phylogeny, diversification and floral evolution [0.03%]
全株亚属山梅花属（Salvia）的全球视角：系统进化、多样化及花部演化
Fatemeh Moein,Ziba Jamzad,Mohammadreza Rahiminejad et al.
Fatemeh Moein et al.
Salvia is the most species-rich genus in Lamiaceae, encompassing approximately 1000 species distributed all over the world. We sought a new evolutionary perspective for Salvia by employing macroevolutionary analyses to address the tempo and...
Comparative and experimental studies on the relationship between body size and countershading in caterpillars [0.03%]
有关尺蛾幼虫体型大小与双色体侧伪装关系的实验和比较研究
Yerin Hwang,Sohee Yoo,Chohee Park et al.
Yerin Hwang et al.
Countershading is a gradient of colouration in which the illuminated dorsal surfaces are darker than the unilluminated ventral surface. It is widespread in the animal kingdom and endows the body with a more uniform colour to decrease the ch...
