Data from: Social effects for locomotion vary between environments in...
Despite strong purifying or directional selection, variation is ubiquitous in populations. One mechanism for the maintenance of variation is indirect genetic effects, as the fitness of a given genotype...
View ArticleData from: Queen presence mediates the relationship between collective...
The success of social living can be explained, in part, by a group's ability to execute collective behaviors unachievable by solitary individuals. However, groups vary in their ability to execute these...

The rarity of nitrogen (N)-fixing trees in frequently N-limited higher-latitude (here, > 35°) forests is a central biogeochemical paradox. One hypothesis for their rarity is that evolutionary...
View ArticleData from: Constraints on trait combinations explain climatic drivers of...
Trade-offs maintain diversity and structure communities along environmental gradients. Theory indicates that if covariance among functional traits sets a limit on the number of viable trait...
View ArticleData from: A Drosophila model for developmental nicotine exposure
Despite the known health risks of tobacco smoking, many people including pregnant women continue smoking. The effects of developmental nicotine exposure are known, but the underlying mechanisms are not...
View ArticleData from: The K=2 conundrum
Assessments of population genetic structure have become an increasing focus as they can provide valuable insight into patterns of migration and gene flow. STRUCTURE, the most highly cited of several...
View ArticleData from: Are sympatrically speciating Midas cichlid fish special? Patterns...
Established empirical cases of sympatric speciation are scarce, although there is an increasing consensus that sympatric speciation might be more common than previously thought. Midas cichlid fish are...
View ArticleData from: Patient factors that influence decision-making in self-management...
Background and aim: Self-management support is an integral part of current chronic care guidelines. The success of self-management interventions varies between individual patients, suggesting a need...

State-of-the-art measurements of the direction and intensity of Earth’s ancient magnetic field have made important contributions to our understanding of the geology and palaeogeography of Precambrian...
View ArticleData from: Development of a gridded meteorological data set over the Java...
We developed a gridded daily meteorology data set consisting of precipitation, minimum temperature and maximum temperature over the Java Island, Indonesia at 0.125 x 0.125 (∼14 km) resolution spanning...

Introduction. The role of Pulmonary and Activation-Regulated Chemokine (PARC) in the physiopathology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is not fully understood. The aim of the present...

Females of the damselfly Ischnura graellsii display three colour morphs, a male-like androchrome morph and two other morphs, infuscans and aurantiaca, which are not male-like. Previous research has...
View ArticleData from: Direct and pollinator-mediated effects of herbivory on strawberry...
The global decline in pollinators has partly been blamed on pesticides, leading some to propose pesticide-free farming as an option to improve pollination. However, herbivores are likely to be more...
View ArticleData from: Age-dependent effects of water striders moving on perturbed water...
Surface roughness is a ubiquitous phenomenon in both oceanic and terrestrial waters. For insects that live at the air-water interface, such as water striders, non-linear and multi-scale perturbations...
View ArticleData from: Interactive effects of predator and prey harvest on ecological...
A major goal of ecosystem-based fisheries management is to prevent fishery-induced shifts in community states. This requires an understanding of ecological resilience: the ability of an ecosystem to...

Objectives Since the Health Promotion Act was introduced in Korea in 1995, anti-smoking policies and regulations have undergone numerous revisions, and non-smoking areas have gradually been expanded....

The ongoing biodiversity crisis increases the importance and urgency of studies addressing the role of environmental variation on the composition and evolutionary history of species assemblages, but...
View ArticleData from: A national-scale model of linear features improves predictions of...
1. Modelling species distribution and abundance is important for many conservation applications, but it is typically performed using relatively coarse-scale environmental variables such as the area of...
View ArticleData from: Non-traditional isotope perspectives in vertebrate palaeobiology
The recent development of multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) notably in the disciplines of earth sciences, now allows the precise measurement of isotope ratios,...
