1. Recent technological development has increased our capacity to study the deep sea and the marine benthic realm, particularly with the development of multidisciplinary seafloor observatories. Since...
View ArticleData from: The association between exposure to environmental bisphenol A and...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an extensively used chemical with endocrine disrupting properties. Although animal and in vivo studies have suggested possible effects of BPA on levels of gonadotropic hormones,...
View ArticleData from: BMI and WHR are reflected in female facial shape and texture: a...
Facial markers of body composition are frequently studied in evolutionary psychology and are important in computational and forensic face recognition. We assessed the association of body mass index...
View ArticleData from: Changes in soil microbial communities due to biological invasions...
Summary 1. Soil microbes are important in mediating allelopathic interactions between invasive and native plants in the field. However, it was not known how these interactions vary in the process of...

1. Cities are rapidly expanding worldwide and there is an increasing urgency to protect urban biodiversity, principally through the provision of suitable habitat, most of which is in urban green...

In the Lower Cretaceous Agrio Formation, Neuquén Basin (west-central Argentina), the highly variable genus Ptychomya Agassiz has challenged traditional taxonomists for over a century. Here we apply a...
View ArticleData from: Effect of mutation mechanisms on variant composition and...
Genetic diversity is maintained by continuing generation and removal of variants. While examining over 800,000 DNA variants in wild isolates of Caenorhabditis elegans, we made a discovery that the...
View ArticleData from: Variable drivers of primary versus secondary nesting;...
Organisms seek to maximize fitness by balancing reproductive allocations against mortality risk, given selection pressures inherent to the environment. However, environmental conditions are often...
View ArticleData from: The seasonal climate niche predicts phenology and distribution of...
1.Many short-lived species complete their life cycles during brief seasonal windows of favorable environmental conditions. Such species may persist in the face of climate warming by migration to track...
View ArticleData from: Female Soay sheep do not adjust their maternal care behaviour to...
Resource availability, through its impact on the costs and benefits of parental care, is expected to influence parental care behavior. There has, to our knowledge, been no attempt to understand how...
View ArticleData from: Local adaptation at range edges: comparing elevation and...
Local adaptation at range edges influences species’ distributions and how they respond to environmental change. However, the factors that affect adaptation, including gene flow and local selection...
View ArticleData from: Isolation with asymmetric gene flow during the nonsynchronous...
Dry forest bird communities in South America are often fragmented by intervening mountains and rainforests, generating high local endemism. The historical assembly of communities often results from...

San Bernardino National Forest in southern California encompasses two major mountain ranges, the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Jacinto Mountains. Here 414 taxa of lichenized fungi are reported...
View ArticleData from: Rates and processes of aeolian soil erosion in West Greenland
In arid landscapes across the globe, aeolian processes are key drivers of landscape change, but arid Arctic regions are often overlooked. In the Kangerlussuaq region of West Greenland, strong katabatic...
View ArticleData from: Rapid evolution of dispersal ability makes biological invasions...
Genetic variation in dispersal ability may result in the spatial sorting of alleles during range expansion. Recent theory suggests that spatial sorting can favour the rapid evolution of life history...
View ArticleData from: Range expansion underlies historical introgressive hybridization...
Introgressive hybridization is an important and widespread evolutionary process, but the relative roles of neutral demography and natural selection in promoting massive introgression are difficult to...
View ArticleData from: Post-Eocene climate change across continental Australia and the...
The formation and spread of the Australian arid zone during the Neogene was a profoundly transformative event in the biogeographic history of Australia, resulting in extinction or range contraction in...
