The question of connectivity and dispersal range in the oceans is important because it informs about evolutionary process and speciation, and for conservation, through the identification of cryptic patterns of diversity. Natural boundaries ...
Attraction versus avoidance: honeybees vary in response to virus-contaminated food [0.03%]
趋性与回避：蜜蜂对病毒污染食物的反应不同

Pathogen detection plays a key role in enabling hosts to avoid infection. Many insects, including honeybees (Apis mellifera, L.), can detect pathogens indirectly, but it is unclear whether they can directly detect viruses outside of a host....
Timescapes of fear: exogenous and endogenous control of moonlight-mediated circalunar foraging rhythms in a weakly electric fish [0.03%]

The timing of activity is fundamental to animal survival. For many nocturnal species, moonlight suppresses activity due to elevated predation risk. However, how animals track moonlight-with its complex nightly and monthly variations-and how...
Trade-offs among complexity, regeneration and defector risk across fraternal cooperative organizations [0.03%]

Fraternal cooperative organizations (FCOs), which encompass metazoan multicellularity and eusociality, rely on a division of labour among specialized members. I present a comprehensive framework to concretely classify FCO members by special...
Global barcoding of the deep-sea snail genus Phymorhynchus reveals surprising distribution ranges and genetic diversity [0.03%]
深海螺 genus Phymorhynchus 的全球条形码揭示了惊人的分布范围和遗传多样性

For rare fauna inhabiting insular habitats, specimens from geographically distant locations are often assumed to be distinct species without a detailed assessment of their genetic diversity. The raphitomid snail genus Phymorhynchus includes...

Climate change not only leads to increased average temperatures but also to episodes of extreme heat that impact the reproduction and survival of organisms. These effects have broader ecological consequences when thermal disturbances affect...
Within-individual changes in mitochondrial DNA copy number across the life course and links to individual performance [0.03%]

Ageing is characterized by complex biological processes reflected in cellular and molecular changes. Mitochondria, which are crucial for energy production and cellular homeostasis, are particularly vulnerable to age-related deterioration. T...

Infectious disease dynamics are both a cause and a consequence of variation in sociality. Social interaction rates can shape parasite transmission, and conversely, parasite infection can alter social interaction rates. At the core of this f...
Ethological scars? Exposure to multiple negative events over a lifespan may predict abnormal repetitive behaviour in laboratory-housed rhesus macaques [0.03%]
行为痕迹？一生中多次经历负面事件可能会预测实验室圈养的恒河猴出现异常重复行为

We tested the hypothesis that, in rhesus macaques used in biomedical research, the performance of abnormal repetitive behaviours (ARBs; e.g. pacing, hair-plucking, eye-poking) reflects the cumulative burden of negative experiences. For 240 ...

As the oldest known fossil bird, Archaeopteryx is pivotal to the study of avian origins. Fifteen avialan fossils have been described from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Limestones, 14 of which have been referred to Archaeopteryx. Recently, th...
