The combined gravity of biodiversity loss and climate change keeps increasing. As the approaching catastrophe has never looked so alarming, the amount of scientific knowledge about the bioclimatic crisis is still rising exponentially. Here ...

9,000 years of genetic continuity in southernmost Africa demonstrated at Oakhurst rockshelter [0.03%]
南非最南端的奥克赫斯特岩厦遗址9000年的遗传连续性
Joscha Gretzinger,Victoria E Gibbon,Sandra E Penske et al.
Joscha Gretzinger et al.
Southern Africa has one of the longest records of fossil hominins and harbours the largest human genetic diversity in the world. Yet, despite its relevance for human origins and spread around the globe, the formation and processes of its ge...
Migratory lifestyle carries no added overall energy cost in a partial migratory songbird [0.03%]
迁徙习性不会增加部分迁徙的鸣鸟的整体能量消耗
Nils Linek,Scott W Yanco,Tamara Volkmer et al.
Nils Linek et al.
Seasonal bird migration may provide energy benefits associated with moving to areas with less physiologically challenging climates or increased food availability, but migratory movements themselves may carry high costs. However, time-dynami...
Growth rate as a link between microbial diversity and soil biogeochemistry [0.03%]
增长率介导微生物多样性和土壤生物地球化学之间的关系
Megan M Foley,Bram W G Stone,Tristan A Caro et al.
Megan M Foley et al.
Measuring the growth rate of a microorganism is a simple yet profound way to quantify its effect on the world. The absolute growth rate of a microbial population reflects rates of resource assimilation, biomass production and element transf...
Evolutionary shift of a tipping point can precipitate, or forestall, collapse in a microbial community [0.03%]
进化阈值的转变可以引发或延缓微生物群落的崩溃
Christopher Blake,Jake N Barber,Tim Connallon et al.
Christopher Blake et al.
Global ecosystems are rapidly approaching tipping points, where minute shifts can lead to drastic ecological changes. Theory predicts that evolution can shape a system's tipping point behaviour, but direct experimental support is lacking. H...

Lake-centred sedentary lifestyle of early Tibetan Plateau Indigenous populations at high elevation 4,400 years ago [0.03%]
4400年前高原特有古代人群的定居式渔猎采集生业模式
Xiaoyan Yang,Yu Gao,Shargan Wangdue et al.
Xiaoyan Yang et al.
The onset of sedentism on the Tibetan Plateau is often presumed to be associated with the dispersal of agriculture or farmers from archaeological sites located in the low elevation margins of the plateau. Previous studies of the plateau ass...

Mutations can alter the short-term fitness of an organism, as well as the rates and benefits of future mutations. While numerous examples of these evolvability modifiers have been observed in rapidly adapting microbial populations, existing...
