Evolution, not transgenerational plasticity, explains the adaptive divergence of acorn ant thermal tolerance across an urban-rural temperature cline [0.03%]
进化而非跨世代可塑性解释了橡树蚁热耐受性的适应性分歧跨越一个都市-乡村温度梯度

Although studies increasingly disentangle phenotypic plasticity from evolutionary responses to environmental change, few test for transgenerational plasticity in this context. Here, we evaluate whether phenotypic divergence of acorn ants in...

Recurrently invading pests provide unique challenges for pest management, but also present opportunities to utilize genomics to understand invasion dynamics and inform regulatory management through pathway analysis. In the southern United S...
The preference-performance relationship as a means of classifying parasitoids according to their specialization degree [0.03%]

Host range in parasitoids could be described by the preference-performance hypothesis (PPH) where preference is defined as host acceptance and performance is defined as the sum of all species on which parasitoid offspring can complete their...

Transmissible vaccines offer a revolutionary approach for controlling infectious disease and may provide one of the few feasible methods for eliminating pathogens from inaccessible wildlife populations. Current efforts to develop transmissi...
Natural Wolbachia infections are common in the major malaria vectors in Central Africa [0.03%]

During the last decade, the endosymbiont bacterium Wolbachia has emerged as a biological tool for vector disease control. However, for long time, it was believed that Wolbachia was absent in natural populations of Anopheles. The recent disc...
Evidence for adaptive responses to historic drought across a native plant species range [0.03%]

As climatic conditions change, species will be forced to move or adapt to avoid extinction. Exacerbated by ongoing climate change, California recently experienced a severe and exceptional drought from 2011 to 2017. To investigate whether an...

Many of the world's most prevalent diseases are transmitted by animal vectors such as dengue transmitted by mosquitoes. To reduce these vector-borne diseases, a promising approach is "genetic shifting": selective breeding of the vectors to ...
Genomic data provide new insights on the demographic history and the extent of recent material transfers in Norway spruce [0.03%]
基因组数据为挪威云杉的 demographic 历史以及近期物质转移的程度提供了新的见解
