Food availability affects the trade-off between maintenance and reproduction in a wide range of organisms, but its effects on social insects remain poorly understood. In social insects, the maintenance-reproduction trade-off seems to be abs...
Males and females contribute differently to the evolution of habitat segregation driven by hybridization [0.03%]
杂交引发的生态位分化中雌雄不同的作用

Costly heterospecific mating interactions, such as hybridization, select for prezygotic reproductive isolation. One of the potential traits responding to the selection arising from maladaptive hybridization is habitat preference, whose dive...
Rapid, nonparallel genomic evolution of Brassica rapa (field mustard) under experimental drought [0.03%]

While we know that climate change can potentially cause rapid phenotypic evolution, our understanding of the genetic basis and degree of genetic parallelism of rapid evolutionary responses to climate change is limited. In this study, we com...

Why warning patterns are so diverse is an enduring evolutionary puzzle. Because predators associate particular patterns with unpleasant experiences, an individual's predation risk should decrease as the local density of its warning pattern ...
Evolution of female colours in birds: The role of female cost of reproduction and paternal care [0.03%]
鸟类雌鸟颜色的进化：父系抚育和雌鸟繁殖代价的作用

Female ornamentation is frequently observed in animal species and is sometimes found as more evolutionary labile than male ornamentation. A complex array of factors may explain its presence and variation. Here we assessed the role of female...

Reproductive isolating mechanisms contributing to asymmetric hybridization in Killifishes (Fundulus spp.) [0.03%]
旗鱼（Fundulus spp.）不对称杂交的生殖隔离机制
Nathalie MacPherson,Chloe P Champion,Laura K Weir et al.
Nathalie MacPherson et al.
When species hybridize, one F1 hybrid cross type often predominates. Such asymmetry can arise from differences in a variety of reproductive barriers, but the relative roles and concordance of pre-mating, post-mating prezygotic, and post-zyg...
Estimating amino acid substitution models for metazoan evolutionary studies [0.03%]
估计用于后生动物进化研究的氨基酸替代模型

Amino acid substitution models represent the substitution rates among amino acids during the evolution of protein sequences. The models are a prerequisite for maximum likelihood or Bayesian methods to analyse the phylogenetic relationships ...
Divergence of a speciation trait through artificial selection: Insights into constraints, by-product effects and sexual isolation [0.03%]
通过人工选择的物种性状的分歧：对约束、联带效应及性别隔离的启示
Roman Yukilevich,James Thai LaGraff
Roman Yukilevich
Speciation and sexual isolation often occur when divergent female mating preferences target male secondary sexual traits. Despite the importance of such male signals, little is known about their evolvability and genetic linkage to other tra...
The redlegged earth mite draft genome provides new insights into pesticide resistance evolution and demography in its invasive Australian range [0.03%]
红腿地螨的基因草图对其在入侵澳大利亚范围内的农药抗性进化和种群统计学提供了新的见解

Joshua A Thia et al.
Genomic data provide valuable insights into pest management issues such as resistance evolution, historical patterns of pest invasions and ongoing population dynamics. We assembled the first reference genome for the redlegged earth mite, Ha...
