A key to interacting with the physical world is the ability to visually infer object properties, like elasticity, allowing us to anticipate object behaviour. Such perceptual inferences continue to challenge artificial intelligence systems, ...
Extinction vortices are driven more by a shortage of beneficial mutations than by deleterious mutation accumulation [0.03%]
有益突变的匮乏比有害突变的积累更易导致物种灭绝形成涡旋现象

Habitat loss contributes to extinction risk in multiple ways. Genetically, small populations can face an 'extinction vortex'-a positive feedback loop between declining fitness and declining population size. Two distinct genetic mechanisms c...
Phylogenetic biome conservatism underlies the evolution of forest palaeoendemic legume trees in tropical Africa [0.03%]
古热带非洲森林Paleo-特有系豆科树种的进化保守性与其谱系地理学的关系
Dario Ojeda,Sandra Cervantes,Anaïs-Pasiphae Gorel et al.
Dario Ojeda et al.
Biome conservatism is prevalent during the evolution of plant lineages. However, studies assessing biome lability, i.e. the capacity to shift biomes and its impact on tropical tree species diversification is currently limited. To address th...
Recurrent evolution of ultraviolet vision in frogs and toads is linked to transitions in locomotor mode [0.03%]
蛙和蟾蜍的紫外线视觉反复进化与运动模式转变相关联
Bingbing Zhang,Pingfan Wei,Yimeng Cui et al.
Bingbing Zhang et al.
The evolution of shortwave vision in frogs and toads (anurans) has remained unclear, because molecular and behavioural evidence suggest a contrasting picture regarding their UV sensitivity. Although all anurans studied to date express viole...
Selection against dispersers: sex, age and origin-dependent fitness differences in wild Atlantic salmon [0.03%]
选择性排斥分散者：野生大西洋鲑鱼中性别、年龄和起源依赖性的适应值差异
Emilio Egal,Charles Perrier,Yann Czorlich et al.
Emilio Egal et al.
Local adaptation is often portrayed as uniform fitness disadvantages of immigrants relative to locals. Yet dispersal costs vary with origin, sex and life-history traits, shaping the balance between gene flow and adaptation. We quantified th...
Swimming speed of schooling fish controls social interaction strength in open-loop immersive virtual reality [0.03%]
基于开放式沉浸虚拟现实的鱼群游泳速度控制社交互动强度
Ramón Escobedo,Justine Reynaud,Stéphane Sanchez et al.
Ramón Escobedo et al.
Collective motion in fish schools emerges from local social interactions, whose strength may vary with behavioural context. Swimming speed is known to influence manoeuvrability, spatial organization and information flow, yet its causal role...
Phylogenetic reconstruction of ancestral ageing rates in the primate lineage [0.03%]

Median lifespans of primates show nearly 10-fold variation, ranging from approximately 8 years in marmosets to approximately 80 years in humans. The molecular mechanisms that govern this variation and how they evolved remain poorly understo...
Ecological interactions mediate evolutionary responses to temperature in microbial communities [0.03%]
生态相互作用调节微生物群落对温度的进化响应
Ewaldo Leitão,Megan H Liu,Andrea Yammine et al.
Ewaldo Leitão et al.
Microbial populations play a pivotal role in ecosystem-level responses to rising temperatures, and both their ecology and evolution can be directly influenced by warming. However, predicting microbial evolution and its ecological consequenc...
Heatwave winners and losers: cryptic coral holobionts differ in thermal tolerance [0.03%]
隐性珊瑚共生体适应高温能力不同
Zoe Meziere,Ilha Byrne,Andrew Khalil et al.
Zoe Meziere et al.
Extreme climatic events are reshaping ecosystems worldwide as individual organisms vary markedly in their ability to withstand these disturbances. Deciphering patterns of persistence on local scales is therefore critical for predicting biod...
Shared neural transcriptomic patterns underlie the repeated evolution of mutualistic cleaning behaviour in Labridae wrasses [0.03%]
六线鱼科鱼类清洁共生行为的多次进化具有共同的神经转录模式
Rebecca L Young,Chelsea A Weitekamp,Zegni Triki et al.
Rebecca L Young et al.
Despite the astonishing diversity of life, evolutionary biologists have documented numerous instances where species converge in how they behave, look and function. Given the importance of happenstance in evolution, it is often assumed that ...
