Foundational concepts of trait spaces, including phenotypic plasticity and function of traits, should be expanded and better integrated with ecological theory. This article addresses two areas where plasticity theory can become further inte...
Local predation risk shapes spatial and foraging neophobia patterns in Trinidadian guppies [0.03%]
局部捕食压力形塑特里尼达鳉鱼的空间及觅食怯学行为模式

The "dangerous niche" hypothesis posits that neophobia functions to reduce the cost of habitat use among animals exposed to unknown risks. For example, more dangerous foraging or higher competition may lead to increased spatial neophobia. L...
Mismatching between nest volume and clutch volume reduces egg survival and fledgling success in black-tailed gulls [0.03%]
巢穴容积与窝卵数不匹配降低尾凤头鸥的卵存活率和雏鸟成功率

A longstanding suggestion posits that parents prefer to match nest volume and clutch size (clutch volume), but few studies have tested this in colonial seabirds that nest in the open. Here, we demonstrate the effects of nest-clutch volume m...
Antipredatory reaction of the leopard gecko Eublepharis macularius to snake predators [0.03%]

Ability to recognize a risk of predation and react with adaptive antipredatory behavior can enhance fitness, but has some costs as well. Animals can either specifically react on the most dangerous predators (threat-sensitive avoidance) or t...

Yao-Hua Zhang et al.
Male animals with more conspicuous visual and acoustic signals increase their mating success, but also increase the risk of being attacked by eavesdropping predators. In rodents, males with richer sex pheromones often have higher attractive...
Mammals and habitat disturbance: the case of brown hare and wildfire [0.03%]
关于哺乳动物与栖息地干扰的思考——以欧洲棕兔和森林火灾为例

Ecosystem disturbances, such as wildfires, are driving forces that determine ecology and conservation measures. Species respond differentially to wildfires, having diverse post-fire population evolution. This study reports, for first time, ...
Impact of anthropogenic pressure on the formation of population structure and genetic diversity of raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides [0.03%]
人为压力对貉种群结构和遗传多样性的影响

Loreta Griciuvienė et al.
The raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides experienced an active introduction and acclimatization in the European part of Russia followed by its migration to and colonization in the neighboring countries. Eventually, it has spread rapidly int...
Differential introgression suggests candidate beneficial and barrier loci between two parapatric subspecies of Pearson's horseshoe bat Rhinolophus pearsoni [0.03%]
差异遗传渗入表明两种近缘亚种Pearson齿蝠（Rhinolophus pearsoni）存在有利和隔离屏障基因位点

Observations that rates of introgression between taxa can vary across loci are increasingly common. Here, we test for differential locus-wise introgression in 2 parapatric subspecies of Pearson's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus pearsoni chinensi...
Phylogenetic framework for coevolutionary studies: a compass for exploring jungles of tangled trees [0.03%]

Phylogenetics is used to detect past evolutionary events, from how species originated to how their ecological interactions with other species arose, which can mirror cophylogenetic patterns. Cophylogenetic reconstructions uncover past ecolo...
Hand preference during bimanual coordinated task in northern pig-tailed macaques Macaca leonina [0.03%]

In humans, handedness is one defining characteristic regardless of cultures and ethnicity. Population-level right handedness is considered to be related with the evolution of left hemisphere for manual control and language. In order to furt...
