DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114353
Abstract: The presence of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems has recently received increased attention. Small plastic particles may resemble natural food items of larval fish and other aquatic organisms, and create strong selective pressures on the feeding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2116645119
Abstract: Significance We compared body temperatures (Tb) and the associated thermoregulatory traits of 53 bird species from three climatically distinct areas to test the idea that maximum Tb and hyperthermia tolerance evolve in response to climate-related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1163/22238980-00001031
Abstract: Adaptive variation of plant species is best evaluated under environmental gradients. Silybum marianum is a native to the Mediterranean basin, distributed continuously along an aridity gradient from northern Israel to the edge of the Negev… read more here.

Abstract: Hybridization, defined as breeding between two distinct taxonomic units, can have an important effect on the evolutionary patterns in cross-breeding taxa. Although interspecific hybridization has frequently been considered as a maladaptive process, which threatens species… read more here.

Evolution of Adaptive Variation in the Mosquito Culex pipiens: Multiple Independent Origins of Insecticide Resistance Mutations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Insects"
DOI: 10.3390/insects12080676
Abstract: Simple Summary The application of insecticides to control insect pests can result in the evolution of resistance. Within a population, the individuals carrying the resistant mutation survive after insecticide application while the others die, leading… read more here.
