We found that the model including the six predictors alone, and interactions of sexual cannibalism with female and male post-maturity age, was the best fitting model (Table2). However, only species and the two aforementioned interactions had significant effects on how often the males used the pa...
The word “ecology” connotes a desire to coexist, if not in symbiosis, at least in a mix of competition and collaboration that marks the dynamics of a healthy, vigorous ecosystem. Darwin's image of nature was “an entangled bank,” and throughout the twentieth century, ecologists created ...

whereas the average score of studies in this area was 2.5 ± 0.19 in 2020 (Fig.5A). This represented an increase of 0.8 in the average score of studies in the Islet subject area over only a two-year period (Fig.5A). While this increase was not statistically significant...
Recent studies have shown that proteins with intrinsically disordered domains can separate from the cytoplasm or nucleoplasm to form liquid-like condensates in a process akin to phase separation1,2,3. These liquid-like properties are usually transient and the condensates can undergo a transition to ...
A pentavalent involving five chromosomes will form during meiosis of male black muntjacs, whereas such structures are absent in female black muntjac. (b) Inversion on the neo-Y chromosome revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization using two Indian muntjac bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) ...
Place any table notes below the table body. Avoid vertical rules and shading within table cells. We recommend that you use tables sparingly, ensuring that any data presented in tables is not duplicating results described elsewhere in the article.

we proposed two possible genomic configurations: (1) a master circular structure encompassing all three contigs (Fig.1C), and (2) an alternative configuration wherein contig1 and contig2 form two independent circles with contig3, respectively (Fig.1D). However, as the length of contig3 exceede...
RNA modifications are widespread in biology and abundant in ribosomal RNA. However, the importance of these modifications is not well understood. We show that methylation of a single nucleotide, in the catalytic center of the large subunit, gates ribosom
