Social relationships are important to many aspects of animals' lives, and an individual's connections may change over the course of their lifespan. Currently, it is unclear whether social connectedness declines within individuals as they ag...
Copy number changes in co-expressed odorant receptor genes enable selection for sensory differences in drosophilid species [0.03%]
共表达的嗅觉受体基因拷贝数的变化使棒眼果蝇物种感受器差异的选择成为可能

Despite numerous examples of chemoreceptor gene family expansions and contractions, how these relate to modifications in the sensory neuron populations in which they are expressed remains unclear. Drosophila melanogaster's odorant receptor ...
Genomic evidence that a sexually selected trait captures genome-wide variation and facilitates the purging of genetic load [0.03%]
基因组证据表明，性选择特征捕获了全基因组变异并促进了遗传负荷的清除

The evolution of costly traits such as deer antlers and peacock trains, which drove the formation of Darwinian sexual selection theory, has been suggested to both reflect and affect patterns of genetic variance across the genome, but direct...

Replicated radiations, in which sets of similar forms evolve repeatedly within different regions, can provide powerful insights into parallel evolution and the assembly of functional diversity within communities. Several cases have been des...
The roles of balancing selection and recombination in the evolution of rattlesnake venom [0.03%]

The origin of snake venom involved duplication and recruitment of non-venom genes into venom systems. Several studies have predicted that directional positive selection has governed this process. Venom composition varies substantially acros...

Spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha) dominate modern marine habitats and account for more than a quarter of all living vertebrate species. Previous time-calibrated phylogenies and patterns from the fossil record explain this dominance by corr...

Species abundances and distributions are changing in response to changing climate and other anthropogenic drivers but how this translates into how well species can match their optimal climate conditions as they change is not well understood...
