Milking It: Repeated Postweaning Suckling Events in Galápagos Sea Lions (Zalophus wollebaeki) [0.03%]
哺乳不止：加拉帕戈斯海狮（斑点海狮）的多次断奶后吮吸行为
Alexandra K Childs,Carlina Feldmann,Svenja Stoehr et al.
Alexandra K Childs et al.
AbstractMilk is not cheap. The energetic cost for mammalian mothers to provide and sustain milk production makes it a finite resource. Offspring are therefore expected to wean before sexual maturity and reproductive activity, whether on the...
Bird-Scented Nests as a Mechanism for Olfactory Homing in a Burrow-Nesting Seabird [0.03%]
海鸟利用气味进行回巢的机制研究——以一种穴居鹱类为例

Sarah L Jennings
AbstractNavigation to and from a familiar site is a common animal behavior called homing. Many species use olfactory environmental landmarks or scents deposited in the environment by themselves or their conspecifics for homing. Birds regula...
How Genotype-by-Environment Interactions Can Maintain Variation in Mutualisms [0.03%]
基因型与环境互作如何维持共生变异

Christopher I Carlson
AbstractCoevolution requires reciprocal genotype-by-genotype (G × G) interactions for fitness, which occur when the fitness of a genotype in one species depends on the genotype it interacts with in another species and vice versa. However, ...
Age Specificity in Territory Quality and Spatial Structure in a Wild Bird Population [0.03%]
关于野生鸟类种群栖息地质量的年龄特异性及其空间结构的研究
Joe P Woodman,Ella F Cole,Josh A Firth et al.
Joe P Woodman et al.
AbstractAge influences behavior, survival, and reproduction; hence, variation in population age structure can affect population-level processes. The extent of spatial age structure may be important in driving spatially variable demography, ...
Positive Association between Female-Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Male-Skewed Operational Sex Ratio in Anurans [0.03%]
两性体型差异的性别偏向与蛙类 operational 性别比的性别偏向正相关
Yuhan Yuan,Yulin Zhou,Yiming Wu et al.
Yuhan Yuan et al.
AbstractSexual size dimorphism (varying body sizes between males and females) and the operational sex ratio (ratio of sexually active males to receptive females) are key demographic traits influenced by complex selective pressures. Two hypo...

AbstractPollinators are important drivers of floral variation and speciation in plants. Here we investigate the effects of functional trait matching on pollen receipt in two plant species, Tritoniopsis revoluta and Nerine humilis, each visi...

AbstractAfter a fitful start, the conceptual study of mutualism (mutually beneficial interspecific interactions) is now flourishing. In 1994, I reviewed the status of the field as reflected in the peer-reviewed literature; I also laid out d...
Phenological Shifts in Plants and Pollinators over a Century Disrupt Interaction Persistence [0.03%]
植物和传粉者物候百年变化导致相互作用持续性受损
Leana Zoller,Diego P Vázquez,Julian Resasco
Leana Zoller
AbstractMutualistic interactions between plants and pollinators play an important role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem stability. However, these interactions are increasingly threatened by climate change, which can alter the phenol...
The Contributions of Microbial Interactions to Abrupt Ecosystem Changes during the Late Quaternary [0.03%]
微生物互作在晚第四纪生态系统突变中的作用
Lucas P P Braga,Yucheng Wang,Zihao Huang et al.
Lucas P P Braga et al.
AbstractAbrupt ecosystem shifts during the Late Quaternary coincided with major climatic changes and intensified human activities, but the precise causes of these shifts remain debated. Here, building on previous hypotheses and work, we pro...
Functional Resurveys and Models Reveal the Interplay of Plasticity and Evolution of Pierid Butterflies in Response to Recent Climate Change [0.03%]
功能再调查与模型揭示了粉蝶科蝴蝶对最近气候变化的可塑性与进化反应之间的相互作用
Lauren B Buckley,Joel G Kingsolver
Lauren B Buckley
AbstractThe extent of contemporary evolution, which is mediated by interactions with plasticity, will be an important determinant of biological responses to climate change. We synthesize two functional resurvey projects that, coupled with m...
