Weak trophic position-body mass relationships undermine simple size-spectrum models for coral reefs [0.03%]
弱营养水平-体重关系破坏了珊瑚礁简单尺寸光谱模型

Unravelling food web dynamics across biological communities is a central goal of ecology. In size-structured ecosystems, the shape of trophic pyramids is often inferred from their size spectra-the distribution of biomass across body-mass cl...
The role of secondary pollinators in the evolution of complex colour signals in a bimodal pollination system [0.03%]
次要传粉者在复杂色彩信号进化中的作用：以一种双模式传粉系统为例

Katharine L Khoury et al.
Flower colour is recognized as a key trait influencing pollinator visitation and behaviour, evolved to match the sensory system of a particular pollinator group. However, some flowers combine colours associated with different pollinators, s...
Tracing the origins of Antarctic periwinkles: an integrative morphological-molecular perspective on Laevilacunaria evolution [0.03%]
南极旋螺的起源追溯——基于Laevilacunaria演化的历史性综合形态-分子视角

Sebastián Rosenfeld et al.
In biogeography, related lineages often share similar range sizes and species richness due to inherited traits and shared geographic history. This expectation is based on phylogenetic niche conservatism and shared dispersal constraints. How...
United by chewing: Hunter-Schreger band-like pattern and wavy enamel in a fossil crocodile suggest functional convergence with mammals and dinosaurs [0.03%]
同嚼共进：副沟式咬合和波状齿釉质化石表明与哺乳动物及恐龙的功能趋同性

Edina Prondvai et al.
Tooth enamel of most mammals shows alternating light and dark bands, called Hunter-Schreger bands (HSB), in longitudinal sections caused by decussating bundles of prisms, the unit building blocks of mammalian enamel. HSB are thought to incr...

The ability to learn from past experiences to inform future decision making is crucial for humans and animals alike. One question with important implications for adaptive decision making is whether we learn about the absolute values of cues...

Adaptive evolution often leads to niche specialization, but successful colonization of a new niche can depend as much on ecological context as on genetic change. This is especially true in spatially structured environments, where the constr...
Temporal dynamics of selection on early-life phenotypic plasticity in seasonal migration versus residence [0.03%]
季节性迁徙 vs 定居对生命早期表型可塑性选择的动态分析
Rita Fortuna,Paul Acker,Cassandra R Ugland et al.
Rita Fortuna et al.
The form, magnitude and temporal dynamics of selection on phenotypic plasticity will fundamentally shape eco-evolutionary responses to environmental variation, but such attributes have not been fully conceptualized or quantified in nature. ...
DNA methylation reflects tissue and caste identity but not parasitism-induced changes in a social insect [0.03%]
DNA甲基化反映组织和品级身份但不能反映社交昆虫的寄生诱导变化

The role of DNA methylation in regulating transcriptional activity and post-transcriptional modifications in insects, particularly in social insects, remains debated. Social insect castes, primarily determined by differential gene expressio...
Cities as evolutionary incubators for the global spread of the spotted lanternfly [0.03%]
城市是斑翅片灯蚊全球传播的进化孵化器

Habitat destruction and invasive species pose two of the greatest global threats to biodiversity. These factors do not operate in isolation, and nowhere is their interaction more apparent than in urban environments. Urban organisms rapidly ...

The tropics hold most of the planet's biodiversity but face significant knowledge gaps. This is particularly concerning in the Brazilian Amazon, where anthropogenic disturbances are driving species loss. Our study focused on sarcosaprophago...
