The genomics revolution has provided a plethora of data from many previously uncharacterized populations. The increase in the amount of genetic data has improved our understanding of why individuals and populations differ in their susceptib...
Testing the evolutionary basis of the predictive adaptive response hypothesis in a preindustrial human population [0.03%]
检验预测性适应反应假说的进化基础的一个前工业人类群体的例子

Adam D Hayward
Background and objectives: The thrifty phenotype hypothesis proposes that late-life metabolic diseases result from mismatch between early-life and adulthood nutrition. More recently, the predictive adaptive response (PAR)...

Meredith W Reiches et al.
Background and objectives: Life history theory predicts a shift in energy allocation from growth to reproductive function as a consequence of puberty. During adolescence, linear growth tapers off and, in females, ovarian ...
Epistasis between antibiotic resistance mutations drives the evolution of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis [0.03%]
抗生素耐药性突变之间的基因互作驱动广泛获得药物抗性的结核杆菌的进化
Sònia Borrell,Youjin Teo,Federica Giardina et al.
Sònia Borrell et al.
Background and objectives: Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria are a growing threat to global health. Studies focusing on single antibiotics have shown that drug resistance is often associated with a fitness cost in the ab...

Background and objectives: In polygynous societies, rich men have many offspring through the marriage of multiple wives. Evolutionary, rich households would therefore benefit more from sons, and according to the Trivers-W...
Identifying future zoonotic disease threats: Where are the gaps in our understanding of primate infectious diseases? [0.03%]
识别未来人畜共患病威胁:我们对于灵长类动物感染性疾病的了解存在哪些空白?
Natalie Cooper,Charles L Nunn
