AbstractEnvironmental variation can drive patterns of directional selection, often leading to adaptive changes in shape and form. When selection pressures are strong, different lineages may converge on similar phenotypes, or phenotypes may ...
Are There Ecological Consequences of Urban Adaptation? A Test of Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in a Terrestrial Isopod (Oniscus asellus) [0.03%]
城市适应的生态后果如何？一个陆生等足目动物（Oniscus asellus）的生态进化动力学测试

AbstractUrbanization affects many aspects of the environment with the potential to alter both ecological and evolutionary processes. However, while examples of urban evolution are accumulating, tests of urban eco-evolutionary dynamics are r...
The Fecundity-Longevity Trade-Off in a Clonal Eusocial Insect: In Isolation, Subordinate Workers Match Dominants in Reproduction [0.03%]
独居时副职工蚁通过无性繁殖匹配主役工蚂蚁的生育力：克隆型eusocial膜翅目的生育率与寿命权衡模型

AbstractReproductive division of labor (DOL) is key to the ecological success of eusocial insects such as ants, termites, and honeybees, in which queens reproduce while workers perform nonreproductive tasks. DOL is often associated with a s...
Upcycling in the Hawaiian Islands: Native Forest Birds Commonly Engage in Nest Material Kleptoparasitism [0.03%]
夏威夷群岛的升级改造：本地森林鸟通常会共同参与筑巢材料的盗食行为

Erin E Wilson Rankin et al.
AbstractNest material kleptoparasitism, the theft of nesting materials by birds from other nests, is likely more widespread in passerines than currently documented. Yet no studies examine the hypotheses underlying when nest material theft w...
Antifragility: A Cross-Cutting Concept for Understanding Ecological Responses to Variability [0.03%]
反脆弱性：理解生态系统对变化响应的交叉概念

Jonas Wickman
AbstractEnvironmental variability, in the form of either temporal fluctuations or intermittent perturbations, affects virtually all ecological systems. However, while temporal variability is widely recognized to play an important role acros...

AbstractSpecies' lifetime schedules of survival, growth, and reproduction generally assort along a principal axis of variation called the "fast-slow" continuum, with positions attributed to the value of producing many fragile offspring earl...
The Geometry of Macroevolution: Phenotypic Evolution on Non-Euclidean Manifolds [0.03%]
宏进化中的几何学：非欧氏流形上的表型进化
James D Boyko,Daniel L Rabosky
James D Boyko
AbstractPhylogenetic comparative methods typically rely on an often unstated and potentially unrealistic assumption: that phenotypes evolve within a flat Euclidean space. We advocate for explicitly considering the "geometry of macroevolutio...
Disturbance Interacts with Dispersal and Niche Breadth to Shape Scale-Dependent Diversity Change in Metacommunities [0.03%]
扰动通过与传播和生态位宽度的相互作用决定元群落尺度依赖性多样性变化
Zachary Hajian-Forooshani,Jonathan M Chase
Zachary Hajian-Forooshani
AbstractEnvironmental disturbance can drive biodiversity change at both local (α) and regional (γ) scales, yet its effects on spatial turnover (β diversity) are often inconsistent. Using a process-based metacommunity model, we show how d...
The Time Invariance and Nondecreasing Expectation of an Evolutionary Path Characteristic under Weak Selection [0.03%]
弱选择下演化路径特征的时间不变性与非递减期望性
Yun-Yun Yu,Cang Hui,Tian-Jiao Feng et al.
Yun-Yun Yu et al.
AbstractFisher's fundamental theorem states that the rate of change in mean fitness due to natural selection equals the additive genetic variance in fitness, suggesting that selection generally drives populations toward higher average fitne...
How Thermal Tolerance Shapes Species Distributions: An Integrative Perspective on the Most Diverse Lizard Family from North America [0.03%]
热忍耐力如何塑造物种分布：整合视角下的北美洲最多样蜥蜴科动物分布研究
Laura R V Alencar,Kiran Masroor,Saúl F Domínguez-Guerrero et al.
Laura R V Alencar et al.
AbstractUnderstanding how thermal tolerance determines species distributions is key to predicting species persistence in changing climates. However, thermal tolerance evolution is likely associated with multiple interacting abiotic and biot...
