Data from: Failure to reproduce period-dependent song cycles in Drosophila is...
Stern has criticized a body of work from several groups that have independently studied the so-called “Kyriacou and Hall” courtship song rhythms of male Drosophila melanogaster, claiming that these...
View ArticleData from: Targeted capture of complete coding regions across divergent species
Despite continued advances in sequencing technologies, there is a need for methods that can efficiently sequence large numbers of genes from diverse species. One approach to accomplish this is targeted...
View ArticleData from: Variable competitive effects of fungicide resistance in field...
Classic evolutionary theory suggests that mutations associated with antimicrobial and pesticide resistance result in a fitness cost in the absence of the selective antimicrobial agent or pesticide....
View ArticleData from: Predicting the spread of all invasive forest pests in the United...
We tested whether a general spread model could capture macroecological patterns across all damaging invasive forest pests in the United States. We showed that a common constant dispersal kernel model,...
View ArticleData from: Prediction limits of mobile phone activity modeling
Thanks to their widespread usage, mobile devices have become one of the main sensors of human behavior and digital traces left behind can be used as a proxy to study urban environments. Exploring the...

Variation in social behavior is common yet little is known about the genetic architectures underpinning its evolution. A rare exception is in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta: Alternative variants of a...
View ArticleData from: A new method for statistical detection of directional and...
Estimation of mating preferences is a prerequisite for understanding how sexual selection through mate choice shapes both mating systems and sexual dimorphisms. Most studies of mating preferences assay...
View ArticleData from: Genomic signatures of adaptation to wine biological aging...
The molecular and evolutionary processes underlying fungal domestication remain largely unknown despite the importance of fungi to bioindustry and for comparative adaptation genomics in eukaryotes....
View ArticleData from: Are cancer patients with sepsis and bacteraemia at a higher risk...
Objective: Most sepsis studies have looked at the general population. The aim of this study is to report on the characteristics, treatment and hospital mortality of cancer patients diagnosed with...
View ArticleData from: Evaluating multilocus Bayesian species delimitation for discovery...
The increasing availability of DNA sequence data enables exciting new opportunities for fungal ecology. However, it amplifies the challenge of how to objectively classify the diversity of fungal...
View ArticleData from: Female sociality and sexual conflict shape offspring survival in a...
Most mammals live in social groups in which members form differentiated social relationships. Individuals may vary in their degree of sociality, and this variation can be associated with differential...
View ArticleData from: Faunal response to sea-level and climate change in a short-lived...
Understanding how regional ecosystems respond to sea-level and environmental perturbations is a main challenge in palaeoecology. Here we use quantitative abundance estimates, integrated within a...
View ArticleData from: Bajaichthys elegans from the Eocene of Bolca (Italy) and the...
The Eocene (Ypresian) fauna of Bolca, Italy yields a famous assemblage of marine tropical teleosts. One of the most anatomically distinctive teleosts from Bolca is the enigmatic †Bajaichthys elegans,...
View ArticleData from: Resistance of plant–plant networks to biodiversity loss and...
1. Plant interactions are fundamental processes for structuring plant communities and are an important mechanism governing the response of plant species and communities to environmental changes. Thus,...
View ArticleData from: Using trophic structure to reveal patterns of trait-based...
1. Trait-based approaches for studying community assembly have improved understanding of mechanisms; however, the challenge of interpreting process from pattern is complicated by the possibility of...
View ArticleData from: Slow development as an evolutionary cost of long life
1. Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between early-life fitness and lifespan. While the focus traditionally has been on the fecundity-lifespan trade-off, there are strong reasons to expect...
View ArticleData from: Inhibition decorrelates visual feature representations in the...
The retina extracts visual features for transmission to the brain. Different types of bipolar cell split the photoreceptor input into parallel channels and provide the excitatory drive for downstream...
View ArticleData from: Specific membrane capacitance, cytoplasm conductivity and...
As label-free biomarkers, biophysical properties of cells are widely used for cell type classification. However, intrinsic biophysical markers, e.g. specific membrane capacitance (Cspecific membrane),...
View ArticleData from: The golden mimicry complex uses a wide spectrum of defence to...
Mimicry complexes typically consist of multiple species that deter predators using similar anti-predatory signals. Mimics in these complexes are assumed to vary in their level of defence from highly...
