Data from: Inbreeding avoidance and female mate choice shape reproductive...
Reproductive skew in multi-male groups may be determined by the need for alpha males to offer reproductive opportunities as staying incentives to subordinate males (concessions), by the relative...
View ArticleData from: Quantification of the zygotic barrier between interbreeding taxa...
Hybridization and introgression via interspecific gene flow are common processes in the plant kingdom. The effectiveness of these processes is governed by the strengths of multiple zygotic barriers....

Advances in neuronal recording techniques are leading to ever larger numbers of simultaneously monitored neurons. This poses the important analytical challenge of how to capture compactly all sensory...

Age-related gait changes may be due to the loss of complexity in the neuromuscular system. This theory is disputed due to inconsistent results from single-scale analyses. Also, behavioral adaptations...
View ArticleData from: Striking phenotypic variation yet low genetic differentiation in...
The study of population differentiation in the context of ecological speciation is commonly assessed using populations with obvious discreteness. Fewer studies have examined diversifying populations...
View ArticleData from: Construction of Taiwanese adult reference phantoms for internal...
In the internal dose evaluation, the specific absorbed fraction (SAF) and S-value are calculated from the reference phantom based on Caucasian data. The differences in height and weight between...
View ArticleData from: Familiarity to a feed additive modulates its effects on brain...
Brain responses to feed flavors with or without a feed additive (FA) were investigated in piglets familiarized or not with this FA. Sixteen piglets were allocated to 2 dietary treatments from weaning...
View ArticleData from: Habitat discontinuities separate genetically divergent populations...
Habitat fragmentation has been suggested to be responsible for major genetic differentiations in a range of marine organisms. In this study, we combined genetic data and environmental information to...
View ArticleData from: Neoadjuvant and concurrent chemotherapy have varied impacts on the...
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of patients with ascending type (T4&N0-1) and descending type (T1-2&N3) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT),...
View ArticleData from: Developmental changes in hippocampal CA1 single neuron firing and...
Hippocampal development is thought to play a crucial role in the emergence of many forms of learning and memory, but ontogenetic changes in hippocampal activity during learning have not been examined...
View ArticleData from: Bayes factors unmask highly variable information content, bias,...
As the application of genomic data in phylogenetics has become routine, a number of cases have arisen where alternative datasets strongly support conflicting conclusions. This sensitivity to analytical...
View ArticleData from: Large-scale, multi-directional larval connectivity among coral...
Larval dispersal is the key process by which populations of most marine fishes and invertebrates are connected and replenished. Advances in larval tagging and genetics have enhanced our capacity to...
View ArticleData from: The relative response of songbirds to shifts in song amplitude and...
Anthropogenic noise presents a problem for acoustic communication in animal taxa around the world. Many animals respond by modifying their acoustic signals, sometimes along multiple axes, such as song...
View ArticleData from: High evolutionary constraints limited adaptive responses to past...
Interactions among traits that build a complex structure may be represented as genetic covariation and correlation. Genetic correlations may act as constraints, deflecting the evolutionary response...

1.The relationship between community structure and the functioning of ecosystems is the subject of ongoing debate. Biological or functional trait-based approaches that capture life strategy, morphology...
View ArticleData from: The effect of colour producing mechanisms on plumage sexual...
1.Sexual dichromatism (SD) often reflects intense sexual selection on males. It has been hypothesised that sexual selection should favour the elaboration of those male colours that honestly signal...

1.Given fundamental energetic trade-offs among growth, maintenance, and reproduction, individual differences in energy-saving should have consequences for survival and reproductive success. Many...

1.The theory of thermoregulation has developed slowly, hampering efforts to predict how individuals can buffer climate change through behaviour. Mixed results of field and laboratory experiments...

1.Many studies have reported honeybee colony losses in human-dominated landscapes. While bee floral food resources have been drastically reduced over past decades in human-dominated landscapes, no...
