Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimisin...
Biological effects of weak magnetic fields: can the radical-pair mechanism provide a universal explanation? [0.03%]
微弱磁场的生物效应：自由基对机制能否提供一种普遍解释？

The biological effects of weak magnetic fields have long been a subject of scientific inquiry, with increasing evidence supporting their influence on biochemical, physiological, and behavioural processes. This review describes three primary...

Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolyti...

We examine two standard phylogenetic-biogeographic patterns and how these are interpreted by current ancestral-area algorithms. In the first pattern, a basal, paraphyletic grade is restricted to one part of its clade's overall range. In the...

A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro- to macro-organisms is integral to ocean healt...

Social inequality among individuals is a common cause of conflict in the animal kingdom. In eusocial insects, such as ants, bees, wasps, and termites, for example, the large differences in reproductive potential between castes result in con...
Evolutionary ecology of the interactions between trophobiotic ants and parasitoids of phloem-feeding hemipterans [0.03%]
白蚁与取食木液的半翅目寄生虫之间相互作用的进化生态学研究

Ants and phloem-feeding hemipterans have established one of the most widespread and best-known mutualisms on Earth. In this mutualism, known as trophobiosis, ants feed on honeydew excreted by phloem-feeding hemipterans and, in exchange, pro...
Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs [0.03%]

Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks incl...

Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature - after all - 'selects' the best genoty...
New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods [0.03%]

The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall b...
