Temperatures are increasing due to global changes, putting biodiversity at risk. Organisms are faced with a limited set of options to cope with this situation: adapt, disperse or die. We here focus on the first possibility, more specificall...
The eggshell-matrix protein gene OC-17 is functionally lost in the viviparous Chinese crocodile lizard [0.03%]
中国蝘蜓卵生向胎生转变过程中蛋壳基质蛋白基因OC-17的功能丧失

Hong-Xin Xie et al.
Thickness reduction or loss of the calcareous eggshell is one of major phenotypic changes in the transition from oviparity to viviparity. Whether the reduction of eggshells in viviparous squamates is associated with specific gene losses is ...
The potential for the evolution of thermally sensitive courtship behaviours in the treehopper, Enchenopa binotata [0.03%]

The ability of animals to adapt to warming will depend on the evolutionary potential of thermally sensitive traits. The number of studies measuring the quantitative genetics of a wide variety of thermally sensitive traits has steadily incre...

Many organisms use conspicuous colour patterns to advertise their toxicity or unpalatability, a strategy known as aposematism. Despite the recognized benefits of this anti-predator tactic, not all chemically defended species exhibit warning...
Variation in shape and consistency of selection between populations of the threatened Hihi (Notiomystis cincta) [0.03%]
受威胁的 hihi（Notiomystis cincta）种群形状和选择一致性的差异性分析

Alexis Rutschmann et al.
The shape and intensity of natural selection can vary between years, potentially resulting in a chronic reduction of fitness as individuals need to track a continually changing optimum of fitness (i.e., a "lag load"). In endangered species,...
Hunger for sex: Abundant, heterogeneous resources select for sexual reproduction in the field [0.03%]
求偶的饥渴：丰饶、异质性的资源选择田间的有性生殖

Pedro Aurélio Costa Lima Pequeno
Major hypotheses on sex evolution predict that resource abundance and heterogeneity should either select for or against sexual reproduction. However, seldom have these predictions been explicitly tested in the field. Here, we investigated t...
Compiling forty years of guppy research to investigate the factors contributing to (non)parallel evolution [0.03%]
编译四十年的研究成果以探讨波动花鳉平行（非）进化的因素

Alexis M Heckley et al.
Examples of parallel evolution have been crucial for our understanding of adaptation via natural selection. However, strong parallelism is not always observed even in seemingly similar environments where natural selection is expected to fav...

The transition of plants from water to land is considered one of the most significant events in the evolution of life on Earth. The colonization of land by plants, accompanied by their morphological, physiological and developmental changes,...
Evolutionary divergence in phenotypic plasticity shapes brain size variation between coexisting sunfish ecotypes [0.03%]
表型可塑性的进化分化决定了共存太阳鱼生态型脑大小的差异

Caleb J Axelrod
Mechanisms that generate brain size variation and the consequences of such variation on ecological performance are poorly understood in most natural animal populations. We use a reciprocal-transplant common garden experiment and foraging pe...
Reproductive isolation is a heuristic, not a measure: a commentary on Westram et al., 2022 [0.03%]
生殖隔离是一个启发式概念，而非衡量标准：对Westram等，2022的研究评论
James Mallet,Sean P Mullen
James Mallet
Reproductive isolation is the heuristic basis of the biological species concept, but what is it? Westram et al. (this issue) propose that it is a measurable quantity, "barrier strength," that prevents gene flow among populations. However, t...
