we first document and compare the strength of phenotypic and genomic signatures of adaptive divergence in each species. We focus on traits including body armour (responsive to predation and linked
It would have been interesting to explore personality traits and how they relate to the openness or resistance towards sexbots as showed by the respondents in this study. Already, Turkle and colleagues [2] suggested that differences in individual responses to technology can be a window into person...
Ecosystems have always been dynamically adaptive, not static systems. It's time to wake up and take a more pragmatic approach rather than rely on a sentimentality that borders religious fervor.Should You Grow Non-Natives or Just Natives?
Theory suggests that speciation is possible without physical isolation of populations (hereafter, nonallopatric speciation), but recent nonallopatric models need the support of irrefutable empirical examples. We collected snails ( Littorina saxatilis ) from three areas on the NW coast of Spain to invest...

In the case of the MHC, however, choosing for optimal allele combinations during fertilization could be adaptive, as it allows for a rapid response to the very important selection pressure by infec- tious diseases. One of the most substantial benefits of sexual reproduction itself could be that ...
Several single-gene traits that are physically linked and inherited as a unit; occasionally possible with conventional breeding, as when a chromosome segment bearing more than one resistance gene is transferred to the cultivar usually accompanied by extraneous DNA; transgenic methods allow several single...
2011b). To test for causality, we need behavioural manipulations that allow us to decouple the personality trait of interest from other, correlated traits that may influence mate choice. For examples, in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, body colouration and boldness are positively correlated with ...
However, in order to estimate the number of potential polymorphic AMH-specific insertions, we took advantage of the large amount of population data provided by the 1000 Genomes project, particularly AFR populations, who are less likely to host Neanderthal-derived genomic traits. Indeed, by randomly...
