Data from: Direction matching for sparse movement datasets: determining...
It is generally assumed that high-resolution movement data are needed to extract meaningful decision-making patterns of animals on the move. Here we propose a modified version of force matching...

We analyzed 81 whole genome sequences of threespine sticklebacks from Pacific North America, Greenland and Northern Europe, representing 16 populations. Principal component analysis of nuclear SNPs...

Populations distributed across a broad thermal cline are instrumental in addressing adaptation to increasing temperatures under global warming. Using a space-for-time substitution design, we tested for...

Although alternative life history strategies exist within many populations, very little is known about their genetic basis and mechanistic insight to these traits could greatly advance the...

In the warfare between herbivore and host plant, insects have evolved a variety of defensive mechanisms, including allelochemical transformation and excretion. Several studies have explored the...

Phylogenomic studies have improved understanding of deep metazoan phylogeny and show promise for resolving incongruences among analyses based on limited numbers of loci. One region of the animal tree...

The molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity are not well understood. Identifying mechanisms underlying alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) in species for which the behavioral and...

Understanding how natural selection generates and maintains adaptive genetic diversity in heterogeneous environments is key to predicting the evolutionary response of populations to rapid environmental...

In polygynous mating systems, few males have stable access to sexual mates. With an expected higher copulation rate, harem males may deplete seminal fluids or increase epididymal sperm maturation,...

Image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies conducted at rest have shown that atherosclerotic plaque in the thoracic aorta (TA) correlates with adverse wall shear stress (WSS), but there is...
View ArticleData from: Genome divergence and diversification within a geographic mosaic...
Despite substantial interest in coevolution's role in diversification, examples of coevolution contributing to speciation have been elusive. Here we build upon past studies that have shown both...

Objectives: This study evaluated the uptake of Western Australian pharmacist vaccination services, the profiles of consumers being vaccinated and the facilitators and challenges experienced by pharmacy...

Animal social behaviors are often mediated by signals that provide information about signaler attributes. While some signals are structurally simple, others are temporally dynamic and multifaceted. In...

Several reviews in the past decade have heralded the benefits of embracing high-throughput sequencing technologies to inform conservation policy and the management of threatened species, but few have...

Africa is one of the key centers of global tea production. Understanding the genetic diversity and relationships of cultivars of African tea is important for future targeted breeding efforts for new...

In the hilly tropics, although shifting cultivation is a widespread practice, government policies have attempted to replace it with other land uses. However, several factors determine whether farming...

Studying offshore natural and artificial hard substrates in the southern North Sea (51ºN–57ºN/1ºW–9ºE), the invasive introduced Japanese skeleton shrimp Caprella mutica Schurin, 1935 was found to...
View ArticleData from: Ecology of tern flight in relation to wind, topography and...
Flight is an economic mode of locomotion, because it is both fast and relatively cheap per unit of distance, enabling birds to migrate long distances and obtain food over large areas. The power...

Stimulation of C3 crop yield by rising [CO2] is widely expected to counteract crop losses to greater drought that is predicted this century. But these expectations come from sparse field trials that...
