Data from: Modeling the perception of audiovisual distance: Bayesian causal...
Studies of audiovisual perception of distance are rare. Here, visual and auditory cue interactions in distance are tested against several multisensory models, including a modified causal inference...
View ArticleData from: On the (un)predictability of a large intragenic fitness landscape
The study of fitness landscapes, which aims at mapping genotypes to fitness, is receiving ever-increasing attention. Novel experimental approaches combined with next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods...
View ArticleData from: Thermal constraints on microhabitat selection and mating...
Hot tropical environments constrain ectotherm mating opportunities when mate selection occurs on the surface. Thus, microhabitats and refugia can become a qualitative trait in mate selection. In...
View ArticleData from: Selection for predation, not female fecundity, explains sexual...
Here we reconstruct the evolutionary shift towards floral simulation in orchid mantises and suggest female predatory selection as the likely driving force behind the development of extreme sexual size...

Background: To compare the oral microflora in preschool children attending a fluoride varnish program with a reference group receiving a standard oral health program without fluoride varnish...
View ArticleData from: The escalatory red queen: population extinction and replacement...
Host-parasite systems provide convincing examples of Red Queen co-evolutionary dynamics. Yet, a key process underscored in Van Valen’s theory, that arms-race dynamics can result in extinction, has...
View ArticleData from: Accuracy of assignment of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) to...
Understanding the habitat use patterns of migratory fish, such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), and the natural and anthropogenic impacts on them, is aided by the ability to identify individuals to...
View ArticleData from: Sticky genomes: using NGS evidence to test hybrid speciation...
Hypotheses of hybrid origin are common. Here we use next generation sequencing to test a hybrid hypothesis for a non-model insect with a large genome. We compared a putative hybrid triploid stick...
View ArticleData from: Phylogenomic analyses support traditional relationships within...
Cnidaria, the sister group to Bilateria, is the most diverse group of animals in terms of morphology, lifecycles, ecology, and development. How this diversity originated and evolved is not well...
View ArticleData from: Precision grip control while walking down a stair step
The aim of this study was to determine whether the internal model regulating grip force (GF)/load force (LF) coordination during a brisk load increase is preserved when the lower extremities produce a...
View ArticleData from: Identification of novel variants in LTBP2 and PXDN using...
Background Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is the most common form of glaucoma in children. PCG occurs due to the developmental defects in the trabecular meshwork and anterior chamber of the eye. The...
View ArticleData from: Clinical and metabolic characteristics among Mexican children with...
Background: Current classification of diabetes mellitus (DM) is based on etiology and includes type 1 (T1DM), type 2 (T2DM), gestational, and other. Clinical and pathophysiological characteristics of...
View ArticleData from: Noninvasive electroencephalogram based control of a robotic arm...
Brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies aim to provide a bridge between the human brain and external devices. Prior research using non-invasive BCI to control virtual objects, such as computer...
View ArticleData from: Going with the flow: the role of ocean circulation in global...
Ocean warming, acidification, deoxygenation and reduced productivity are widely considered to be the major stressors to ocean ecosystems induced by emissions of CO2. However, an overlooked stressor is...
View ArticleData from: Temporal change and determinants of maternal reproductive success...
Global change is generating widespread local-scale expansions of tree populations. During demographic expansions, even small differences in individual reproductive success can generate large...
View ArticleData from: Trait-associated loss of frugivores in fragmented forest does not...
Seed dispersal by frugivorous animals forms the basis for regeneration of numerous plant species. Habitat fragmentation has been found to be one major factor perturbing frugivore communities and...
View ArticleData from: Lymph node transplantation decreases swelling and restores immune...
Introduction: Secondary lymphedema is a common complication of cancer treatment and recent studies have demonstrated that lymph node transplantation (LNT) can decrease swelling, as well as the...
View ArticleData from: Spatial variation of soil respiration in a cropland under winter...
Spatial variation of soil respiration (Rs) in cropland ecosystems must be assessed to evaluate the global terrestrial carbon budget. This study aims to explore the spatial characteristics and...
View ArticleData from: Genetic effects of landscape, habitat preference, and demography...
Expanding the scope of landscape genetics beyond the level of single species can help to reveal how species traits influence responses to environmental change. Multispecies studies are particularly...
View ArticleData from: Using optimal control to disambiguate the effect of depression on...
Differentiating the ability from the motivation to act is of central importance to psychiatric disorders in general and depression in particular. However, it has been difficult to develop quantitative...
