Mixed support for an alignment between phenotypic plasticity and genetic differentiation in damselfly wing shape [0.03%]
蜻蜓翅膀形状的表型可塑性与遗传分化的一致性得到混合支持

The relationship between genetic differentiation and phenotypic plasticity can provide information on whether plasticity generally facilitates or hinders adaptation to environmental change. Here, we studied wing shape variation in a damself...
Not just the sum of its parts: Geographic variation and nonadditive effects of pyrazines in the chemical defence of an aposematic moth [0.03%]
不仅仅是各部分的总和：一个警戒蛾类化学防御中吡嗪的地理变异及非加和效应

Chemical defences often vary within and between populations both in quantity and quality, which is puzzling if prey survival is dependent on the strength of the defence. We investigated the within- and between-population variability in chem...

For over a decade, experimental evolution has been combined with high-throughput sequencing techniques. In so-called Evolve-and-Resequence (E&R) experiments, populations are kept in the laboratory under controlled experimental conditions wh...

Uncovering what predicts genetic diversity (GD) within species can help us access the status of populations and their evolutionary potential. Traits related to effective population size show a proportional association to GD, but evidence su...

Mating with more than one male often provides direct or indirect benefits to female fitness but can also increase the chance of injury and death. Costs of mating are expected to increase linearly with increasing mating number. But how such ...
Genetic sex determination, sex chromosome size and sex-specific lifespans across tetrapods [0.03%]

Sex differences in lifespan are ubiquitous across the tree of life and exhibit broad taxonomic patterns that remain a puzzle, such as males living longer than females in birds and vice versa in mammals. The prevailing unguarded X hypothesis...
Testing drivers of acoustic divergence in cicadas (Cicadidae: Tettigettalna) [0.03%]
蝉类(蝉科: 蜻螽甲)声学分歧驱动因素的检测

Divergence in acoustic signals may have a crucial role in the speciation process of animals that rely on sound for intra-specific recognition and mate attraction. The acoustic adaptation hypothesis (AAH) postulates that signals should diver...
Female-limited responses in remating rate and mating duration in the experimental evolution of a beetle Callosobruchus chinensis [0.03%]
在中国谷蠹(Callosobruchus chinensis)的实验进化中雌性限定的再交配率和交配时长响应

Daisuke Kyogoku et al.
Mating rate optima often differ between the sexes: males may increase their fitness by multiple mating, but for females multiple mating confers little benefit and can often be costly (especially in taxa without nuptial gifts or mala parenta...

Mutant dynamics in fragmented populations have been studied extensively in evolutionary biology. Yet, open questions remain, both experimentally and theoretically. Some of the fundamental properties predicted by models still need to be addr...
Long-term persistence of exaggerated ornaments under Fisherian runaway despite costly mate search [0.03%]
费舍 runaway作用下夸张装饰的长期持续性尽管交配搜索成本高昂
Anna Waffender,Jonathan M Henshaw
Anna Waffender
Exaggerated ornaments often evolve due to the mating preferences of the opposite sex. Genetic correlations between preferences and ornaments can lead both traits to elaborate dramatically in tandem, in a process known as 'Fisherian runaway'...
