For the vast majority of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens, a range of natural environments defined the parameters within which selection shaped human biology. Although human-induced alterations to the terrestrial biosphere have been...

Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator-prey interactions...
Larger pollen sizes correspond to longer styles: correlated evolution between male traits and female preference in plants [0.03%]
花粉粒越大，柱头越长：植物雄性特征与雌性偏好之间的协同演化关系
Lin Zhu,Chang Liu,Lan-Jie Huang et al.
Lin Zhu et al.
In plants, sexual selection is argued to operate through reproduction to shape plant traits. Pollen size and style length are two traits that potentially reflect male-male competition and female choice. Adaptations in one trait may elicit a...
Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review [0.03%]
昆虫养殖的环境效益被夸大了吗？批判性综述
Corentin Biteau,Tom Bry-Chevalier,Dustin Crummett et al.
Corentin Biteau et al.
Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the en...
The behaviour-performance continuum: how does individual variation in locomotor abilities relate to behaviour? [0.03%]
运动能力的个体差异与行为之间的关系：运动能力的个体差异与行为之间的关系
Vincent Careau,Paul Agnani,Nicolas Bonin et al.
Vincent Careau et al.
A series of terminological, technical, conceptual, and statistical challenges present themselves when trying to study correlations between measures of performance abilities (what an animal can do) and behavioural traits (what an animal choo...
A 50-year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies [0.03%]
从骨适应研究角度看偶蹄动物距骨的使用及其潜在作用——五十年回顾与展望

Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simp...
Desert ecosystems as carbon frontiers: innovations in sequestration and climate adaptation strategies [0.03%]
沙漠生态系统作为碳前沿：固存和气候适应策略创新
Waqar Islam,Hassan Naveed,Zhang Zhihao et al.
Waqar Islam et al.
Desert ecosystems, once considered biologically inert, are increasingly recognized for their untapped potential in global carbon sequestration (CS). This review addresses a central research question: how do precipitation patterns, vegetatio...
Simultaneous encoding of sensory features: the role of multiplexing and noise in tactile perception and neural representation [0.03%]
感觉特征的联合编码：触觉感知和神经表征中的多路复用和噪声的作用

The nervous system's capacity to process complex stimuli has long intrigued neuroscientists, with multiplexing now recognized as a fundamental neural coding strategy. Multiplexing refers to the simultaneous encoding of multiple stimulus fea...

If brain anatomy and dynamics have a complex network structure as it has become standard to posit, it is reasonable to assume that such a structure should play a key role not only in brain function but also in brain dysfunction. However, ex...
