Obtaining host DNA from the blood meals of their invertebrate parasites (invertebrate-derived DNA, iDNA) has proven to be a powerful tool in terrestrial ecology for detecting vertebrates to answer questions relating to host community divers...

Carnivoran mammals (cats, dogs, bears, seals, etc.) and their kin radiated during the Palaeogene, among other carnivorous clades (hyaenodonts, mesonychians, and oxyaenodonts). This radiation has often been framed as a competition ultimately...

In primates, most evidence linking sociality to fitness comes from studies of female-female bonds, whereas the consequences of heterosexual relationships remain understudied. This is particularly true in species such as mandrills (Mandrillu...
Evolutionary distinctiveness and parasite specificity determine infection of non-native fish [0.03%]
进化独特性和寄生虫特异性决定非本地鱼类的感染状况

Andrew William Park et al.
While parasites frequently cross the host species barrier and increase their host range, the mechanisms underlying successful novel cross-species transmission remain poorly understood. Host range expansion of complex life-cycle parasites is...
Physical constraints, not sociality, shape primate vocal repertoire size [0.03%]
物理限制而非社交因素决定了灵长类动物的声音重复次数大小

Primate vocal richness and ultimately human language are widely thought to have co-evolved with social scale, as formalized by the social brain/complexity hypothesis, whereby managing increasing numbers of social relationships drives increa...
Host species-driven genetic structure of respiratory mites in two sympatric marine mammal species [0.03%]
两种共存海洋哺乳动物呼吸道螨虫的遗传结构受宿主物种驱动

Guillermo Marimán et al.
Understanding the factors shaping parasite population structure is key to unravelling host-parasite coevolution and transmission dynamics. Respiratory mites of the genus Orthohalarachne (Acari: Halarachnidae) are obligate parasites infectin...
A persistent subtropical dip in the diversity at deep-sea cold-seeps [0.03%]
深海冷泉生物多样性中的一个持久型 subtropical 峰值现象

The faunas around methane seeps in the deep sea thrive on an in-situ food source and are thus expected to show no latitudinal gradients in their diversity. An analysis of 478 modern and 824 fossil (Cretaceous to Pleistocene) occurrences of ...
Dancers in fine feathers: the evolution of gestural display organization in lekking birds [0.03%]
细羽舞者:群聚鸟类求爱信号进化的组织机制研究
Rafael de Oliveira Fratoni,Sabrina B L Araujo,Daniela M Perez et al.
Rafael de Oliveira Fratoni et al.
Courtship displays are remarkably complex in birds, especially in species under strong sexual selection. An overlooked aspect is the organization of gestural elements, where more temporarily coordinated and predictable movements may improve...
Similar flight performance but sex-specific mitochondrial responses in free-flying pigeons [0.03%]
飞翔中的信鸽飞行表现类似但线粒体反应不同性别的影响

Stefania Casagrande
Sex differences in metabolic responses of animals performing natural behaviours remain poorly understood, particularly under free-living conditions. Here, we examined how locomotor effort relates to mitochondrial metabolism in red blood cel...
Coral-associated fishes accelerate coral wound healing and photosynthetic recovery [0.03%]
珊瑚鱼类促进珊瑚伤口愈合和光合作用恢复
Hayden Vega,Craig W Osenberg,Ashley W Seifert et al.
Hayden Vega et al.
Coral resilience is increasingly recognized as the product of complex interactions between corals, their endosymbiotic algae and external symbionts such as fishes and invertebrates. While previous studies have documented how coral-associate...
