AbstractIn animals, choosers assess the attractiveness of courting individuals based on multiple sexual traits rather than a single trait. To quantify mate choice toward combinations of these traits, it is essential to analyze choosers' res...

AbstractUnderstanding how prey camouflage, behavior, and habitat interact to affect predator perception will clarify the mechanisms underlying predator-prey interactions. These questions are particularly critical for seasonally polyphenic p...
Multiple Genetic Impacts of Immigration Interact to Shape Local Population Persistence versus Extinction: Evolutionary Rescue, Inbreeding Vortex, and Migrational Meltdown [0.03%]
移民的多种遗传效应相互作用决定当地人口的生存还是灭绝:进化救援、近交 vortex 和迁移 meltdown

AbstractMajor ongoing theoretical and empirical challenges are to predict impacts of immigration on extinction probabilities of remaining populations within fragmented habitats. Comprehensive prediction requires considering multiple genetic...

AbstractWhen vital rates are convex functions of environmental drivers, temporal variation in those vital rates could increase long-term stochastic fitness (so-called demographic lability). Yet no empirical cases of this phenomenon have yet...
Rapid Evolutionary Response to Salinity Fluctuations in a Coastal Daphnia Population [0.03%]
盐度波动下水族甲壳动物端足目的快速适应性演化响应机制研究

Owen M Chambers et al.
AbstractSalinization poses a widespread threat to freshwater ecosystems. Land use practices and sea level rise contribute added salt, while climate change may drive increasing fluctuations in salinity. Evidence of local adaptation to salt s...

AbstractReef halos are rings of sand, barren of vegetation, encircling reefs. However, the extent to which various biotic (e.g., herbivory) and abiotic (e.g., temperature, nutrients) factors drive changes in halo prevalence and size remains...

AbstractThe sociosexual environment shapes the expression of same-sex sexual behavior (SSB). Empirical studies on SSB in insects often find that sex discrimination, when plastic, is weaker under male-biased sex ratios, ostensibly contradict...
A Mechanistically Integrated Model of Exploitative and Interference Competition over a Single Resource Produces Widespread Coexistence [0.03%]
机理一体化模型:单种资源的剥削竞争和干扰竞争产生广泛共存现象
Daniel J B Smith,Joanna Masel
Daniel J B Smith
AbstractMany ecological models treat exploitative competition in isolation from interference competition. Corresponding theory centers around the R* rule, according to which consumers that share a single limiting resource cannot coexist. He...
Pirates of the Caribbean (and Elsewhere): Three-Legged Lizards and the Study of Evolutionary Adaptation [0.03%]

AbstractNatural selection is widely considered responsible for the fit between organisms and their environment. Lizard limb length variation is a paradigmatic example: studies have shown that limb length differences tightly correlate with h...
