Contrasting temporal stability responses of tall and short grassland species to a decade of nitrogen addition [0.03%]
氮添加十年影响高大和矮小草地植物物种时间稳定性响应的对比研究

Nitrogen enrichment often reduces plant diversity and temporal stability at the community scale. However, tall and short species occupy distinct microhabitats and employ different adaptive strategies, raising the possibility of divergent re...
Mathematical modelling of Wolbachia replacement in Aedes aegypti for dengue control: a scoping review [0.03%]
蚊媒登革热控制中以Ae. aegypti的Wolbachia替代为核心的数学模型研究：范围性综述
Katie Tiley,Laith Yakob,Kathleen O&#x;Reilly et al.
Katie Tiley et al.
Wolbachia replacement in dengue virus vectors is a promising tool for controlling transmission, and models can explore its potential in novel and complex scenarios. We analyse how research questions in Wolbachia replacement modelling have d...
Did energy costs of walking limit the evolution of a larger human birth canal? [0.03%]
步行的能量消耗会限制人类产道进化吗？

Human childbirth is uniquely challenging among primates, which has been attributed to evolutionary trade-offs between birthing large-brained infants and bipedal locomotion ('obstetrical dilemma'). Adapted for efficient upright walking and r...

Large-scale cooperation between genetic strangers, albeit surprising, is viable thanks to social institutions that punish antisocial behaviour and reward prosocial behaviour. Nevertheless, an anti-egalitarian, self-serving aspect of human s...
Evolution of aquatic snails' defences resulted in clade-specific differences in egg toxicity, pigments and warning coloration [0.03%]
作为一种特化防御的演化：螺类卵的毒性、色素和警戒色因属而异

Oviparous animals have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation. In terrestrial species, these often include noxious compounds and aposematic signalling, but little is known in freshwater environments. Here, we unravel the evolut...
Epigenetic variation can promote adaptation by smoothing rugged fitness landscapes [0.03%]
表观遗传变异可以通过平整崎岖的适应度地形来促进适应性

Heritable non-genetic phenotypic variation-broadly, epigenetics-can potentially influence evolutionary outcomes as direct targets of selection or through interactions with genetic variation. While their evolutionary benefits in generating p...
Coevolution of phenological traits shapes plant-pollinator coexistence [0.03%]
物候性状的协同进化决定了植物-传粉者共存关系
François Duchenne,Virginia Domínguez-García,Francisco P Molina et al.
François Duchenne et al.
Previous research has revealed how species traits determine species interactions, and how species interactions influence species coexistence. However, this hierarchical view ignores the coevolutionary feedback from species interactions to s...
Marine barriers and seascape features shape divergence in Neotropical cryptobenthic reef fishes [0.03%]
海洋屏障和海景特征塑造新热带隐瓣礁鱼的分化

Carmen Del R Pedraza-Marrón et al.
Because ocean environments often lack clear barriers to dispersal, cryptobenthic reef fishes, with their limited mobility, are ideal for uncovering spatial patterns of evolutionary divergence. We conducted a comparative phylogeographic stud...
A unifying theoretical framework for tick-borne disease risk to explain conflicting results of exclosure experiments across scales [0.03%]
一个统一的理论框架，用于解释围栏实验在不同规模下所得的相互矛盾的啮齿类传播疾病的规律性结果
Ari S Freedman,Simon A Levin,Stephen A Felt et al.
Ari S Freedman et al.
Disease ecology has focused greatly on determining how changes to biodiversity may drive infectious disease risk for humans. Fencing off experimental areas (exclosures) has been a common experimental approach to assess how removing large-bo...
