Although strong evidence links social connectedness to improved fitness, there is pronounced among-individual variation in social behaviour. This variation may be maintained if different types of social relationships (i.e. having many versu...
Why do birds use green nest material? A systematic review and meta-analysis of experiments [0.03%]
为什么鸟类使用绿色筑巢材料？实验的系统评价和元分析

Many animals build nests. As external structures that can influence survival and reproduction, nests are often considered extended phenotypes. Birds are key examples of nest builders and some species add green plant material to their nests....
From warm to cold habitats: a Cretaceous Tanaupodidae fossil reveals a major climatic niche shift and wider past distribution in winter-active mites [0.03%]
从暖至冷生境：白垩纪一枚新近发现的螨牛科化石揭示了冷活性螨牛族系的一大气候生态位转变及其过去更为广泛的分布地区

Parasitengona (Acariformes) is a highly diverse clade of mites with more than 11 000 species, recognized by their parasitic larva and complex life cycle. Tanaupodidae Thor, 1935 comprises hygrophile terrestrial Parasitengona unusual for bei...

Animals have evolved diverse mating strategies to cope with limitations on mate encounter and secure reproductive success. One of the most extreme examples is found in deep-sea anglerfishes, in which dwarf males permanently fuse with large ...
Life-history divergence underlies elevation-specific warming responses in a plateau viviparous lizard [0.03%]
生活史分化决定了高原胎生蜥蜴的海拔特异性增温响应

Climate warming may benefit cold-adapted reptiles by alleviating thermal constraints, but it can also impose physiological costs. How these outcomes are mediated by elevation-specific life-history strategies remains poorly understood. We co...
A century of allopatry: plasticity and rapid selection shape phenotypic trait variability under contrasting environments [0.03%]
一百年的隔离：可塑性和快速选择在不同环境下的表型变异塑造作用

Hervé Rogissart et al.
Allopatric isolation under contrasting environments can drive rapid phenotypic divergence, even over contemporary timescales. Rapid changes in morphology or physiology can allow organisms to adapt to biotic and abiotic characteristics of th...
Fungal-algal associations from the early Ediacaran herald increasing symbiotic complexity before modern lichens [0.03%]
早寒武纪的菌藻联壁指示了现代地钱之前的共生关系复杂化趋势

Symbiosis is a fundamental biological relationship and metabolic strategy that drove eukaryotic evolution and shaped early ecosystems. Lichens, as symbiotic consortia of fungi (mycobionts) and photosynthesizers (photobionts), are a paradigm...

Some granivorous songbirds remove the hard husk of seeds before swallowing. This dehusking behaviour is a complex sensorimotor task that requires precise coordination of the beak and tongue, and extensive tactile feedback. Here, we tested w...
Evidence of cultural convergence through development for prosocial and antisocial behaviour [0.03%]
通过发展的亲社会和反社会行为的文化趋同的证据
Bonaventura Majolo,Federica Amici,Eliza Florence Dunn et al.
Bonaventura Majolo et al.
Facilitating prosocial behaviour and limiting antisocial behaviour is a fundamental part of maintaining a functional society, and many previous studies have focused on exploring cross-cultural variation within social behaviour. Contrasting ...
Integration of ultra-low coverage whole-genome sequences for reconstructing the evolutionary history of Galapagos giant tortoises [0.03%]
整合超低覆盖率全基因组序列以重建加拉帕戈斯象龟的进化历史

Alexander Ochoa et al.
Genomic data from contemporary and historical samples often need to be coupled for evolutionary reconstructions of multitaxon complexes. However, the genetic data recovered from historical samples may result only in ultra-low coverage whole...
