In Defense of Type I Functional Responses: The Frequency and Population Dynamic Effects of Feeding on Multiple Prey at a Time [0.03%]
一类功能性反应的辩护：一次捕食多种猎物的频率和种群动态效应
Mark Novak,Kyle E Coblentz,John P DeLong
Mark Novak
AbstractEcologists differ in the degree to which they consider the linear type I functional response to be an unrealistic versus sufficient representation of predator feeding rates. Empiricists tend to consider it unsuitably nonmechanistic,...
Dissecting Factors Behind Temporal Trends in the Timing of Breeding in Two Songbird Species-Evolutionary Change or Phenotypic Plasticity? [0.03%]
解密两种鸣鸟繁殖时间变化的背后因素-进化改变还是表型可塑性？

Emma Vatka
AbstractWarming climate has led to significant phenological advances in many plant and animal populations. Whether these advances represent evolutionary responses or phenotypic plasticity remain typically unknown. Using a 53-year-long time ...
Natural Selection of Synthetic Gene Drives for Population Suppression Can Favor an Intermediate Strength of Drive [0.03%]
合成基因驱动的自然选择：有利于适度强度的人口抑制基因驱动占优势
P J Beaghton,Austin Burt
P J Beaghton
AbstractSynthetic gene drives are being investigated as tools to suppress pest populations, and it is important to understand how natural selection will act on variant drivers that may either arise by de novo mutation or be intentionally re...
Genome Composition Predicts Physiological Responses to Temperature in Polyploid Salamanders [0.03%]
基因组成预测多倍体虎纹新蹄鳚的温度生理反应

Isabella J Burger et al.
AbstractMultitrait analyses can be used to measure the differential performance of phenotypic traits in species complexes. Hybridization within these complexes can result in a mismatch between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA that may lead to ...
Better Together: Offspring Benefit from Siblings in Both the Absence and the Presence of Parents [0.03%]
益于有伴而生：兄弟姐妹的 absence 和 presence 皆有利于后代
Paul Huber,Stefanie Bartl,Jan Schneider et al.
Paul Huber et al.
AbstractFamily groups, ranging from simple to complexly structured, are widespread in the animal kingdom, with parent-offspring interactions in the form of parental care traditionally considered the primary driver of family life. However, r...
Sexual Conflict in Resident Species Can Facilitate Establishment of a Maladapted Invader [0.03%]
居民物种中的性冲突可以促进不适应入侵者的建立
Miguel Gómez-Llano,Masato Yamamichi,Adam M Siepielski
Miguel Gómez-Llano
AbstractMost species distributions are dynamic, and as species distributions change they often encounter novel environments and resident species. To establish new populations, ecologically similar species compete with residents for resource...
Stronger Historical Contingency Facilitates Ecological Specializations: An Example with Avian Carotenoid Networks [0.03%]
更强的历史偶然性促进了生态专化：以鸟类类胡萝卜素网络为例
Erin S Morrison,Caitlin M Hill,Alexander V Badyaev
Erin S Morrison
AbstractEvolution requires both robustness of adaptive states and transitions between them. Understanding the mechanisms that reconcile these seemingly opposing properties is limited by the transient nature of evolutionary processes, where ...

Jeff D Arendt
AbstractSeveral metrics have been proposed to measure phenotypic parallel evolution. All of these metrics stem from a geometric definition of parallel evolution in which two evolutionary trajectories are, literally, parallel or nonparallel ...
Thermal Preference Plasticity in Ectotherms: Integrating Temperature Affinity and Thermoregulation Precision [0.03%]
变温动物的热偏好的可塑性：温度亲和力与热调节精度的整合
Gwenaëlle Deconninck,Nicolas Meyer,Hervé Colinet et al.
Gwenaëlle Deconninck et al.
AbstractThermal preference (Tp) prevents ectotherms from encountering sublethal temperatures. Its plasticity likely modulates the importance of behavioral thermoregulation under changing conditions. While it has been widely recognized that ...
