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%]

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...

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...

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...

Understanding how human activity impacts natural systems is crucial for maintaining ecosystem health and the services these provide for societies. Phenotypic plasticity - the regulated expression of different phenotypes by a single genotype...

The first eukaryotes evolved from their archaean ancestors in the early Proterozoic, likely ca. 2000-1800 million years ago (Mya). Their macroscopic multicellular descendants, such as plants, heterokont algae, animals and fungi, appeared hu...
