Data from: Population differentiation and behavioural association of the two ...
Quantifying the variation in behaviour-related genes within and between populations provides insight into how evolutionary processes shape consistent behavioural traits (i.e.... -
Data from: Using branch-and-bound algorithms to optimize selection of a fixed...
Tree breeders often face the challenge of conserving genetic diversity, while at the same time maximizing response to selection. When selecting advanced-generation breeding... -
Data from: Influence of geography and environment on patterns of genetic diff...
The effects of geographic and environmental variables on the pattern of genetic differentiation have been thoroughly studied, whereas empirical studies on aquatic plants are... -
Data from: Fitness costs of worker specialisation for ant societies
Division of labour is of fundamental importance for the success of societies, yet little is known about how individual specialization affects the fitness of the group as a... -
Data from: Network analyses support the role of prey preferences in shaping r...
Individual variation is an inherent aspect of animal populations and understanding the mechanisms shaping resource use patterns within populations is crucial to comprehend how... -
Data from: Individual inversions or their combinations: which is the main sel...
It is generally accepted that chromosomal inversions have been key elements in adaptation and speciation processes. In this context, D. subobscura has been, and still is, an... -
Data from: Evolutionary processes driving spatial patterns of intra-specific ...
Describing, understanding and predicting the spatial distribution of genetic diversity is a central issue in biological sciences. In river landscapes, it is generally predicted... -
Data from: Population structure of a vector-borne plant parasite
Parasites are among the most diverse groups of life on Earth, yet complex natural histories often preclude studies of their speciation processes. The biology of parasitic plants... -
Data from: Hold your breath beetle – mites!
Respiratory gas exchange in insects occurs via a branching tracheal system. The entrances to the air-filled tracheae are the spiracles, which are gate-like structures in the... -
Data from: Economic evaluation of a general hospital unit for older people wi...
Background: One in three hospital acute medical admissions is of an older person with cognitive impairment. Their outcomes are poor and the quality of their care in hospital has... -
Data from: The identification of the closest living relative(s) of tetrapods:...
Identifying the closest living relative(s) of tetrapods is an important, yet still contested question in vertebrate phylogenetics. Three hypotheses are possible and ruling out... -
Data from: A simple approach for maximizing the overlap of phylogenetic and c...
Biologists are increasingly using curated, public data sets to conduct phylogenetic comparative analyses. Unfortunately, there is often a mismatch between species for which... -
Data from: Climate oscillations, glacial refugia, and dispersal ability: fact...
Background: Phylogeographic studies of aquatic insects provide valuable insights into mechanisms that shape the genetic structure of communities, yet studies that include broad... -
Data from: Climate interacts with anthropogenic drivers to determine extirpat...
Theoretical studies suggest that the dynamics of a species’ range during a period of climate change depends upon the existence and interplay of various ecological and... -
Data from: Physiological status drives metabolic rate in Mediterranean geckos...
Negative effects of parasites on their hosts are well documented, but the proximate mechanisms by which parasites reduce their host’s fitness are poorly understood. For example,... -
Data from: Establishment of elevated serum levels of IL-10, IL-8 and TNF-beta...
Background: Tubercular lymphadenitis (TL) is the most common form of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) consisting about 15-20% of all TB cases. The currently available... -
Data from: Diabolical survival in Death Valley: recent pupfish colonization, ...
One of the most endangered vertebrates, the Devils Hole pupfish Cyprinodon diabolis, survives in a nearly impossible environment: a narrow subterranean fissure in the hottest... -
Data from: Effects of spatial plant-soil feedback heterogeneity on plant perf...
Plant-soil feedback (PSF) effects have almost exclusively been quantified on homogeneous soils, but as different plant species will influence their local soil differently in... -
Data from: The causes of selection on flowering time through male fitness in ...
Flowering is a key life history event whose timing almost certainly affects both male and female fitness, but tests of selection on flowering time through male fitness are few.... -
Data from: Measuring the immune system of the three-spined stickleback - exam...
Current understanding of the immune system comes primarily from laboratory-based studies. There has been substantial interest in examining how it functions in the wild, but...
