DOI: 10.1007/s00338-021-02124-8
Abstract: Coral reefs are enduring decline due to the intensifying impacts of anthropogenic global change. This widespread decline has resulted in increased efforts to identify resilient coral populations and develop novel restoration strategies. Paramount in these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-69526-6
Abstract: We investigated the heritability of educational attainment and how it differed between birth cohorts and cultural–geographic regions. A classical twin design was applied to pooled data from 28 cohorts representing 16 countries and including 193,518… read more here.

Subtle environmental variation affects phenotypic differentiation of shallow divergent treefrog lineages in Amazonia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biological Journal of The Linnean Society"
DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blab056
Abstract: Amazonia harbours a vast biotic and ecological diversity, enabling investigation of the effects of microevolutionary processes and environmental variation on species diversification. Integrative approaches combining phenotypic and genetic variation can improve our knowledge on diversification… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac2642
Abstract: We use a series of magnetohydrodynamic simulations including both radiative and protostellar outflow feedback to study environmental variation of the initial mass function (IMF). The simulations represent a carefully-controlled experiment whereby we keep all dimensionless… read more here.

Seasonality of Oithona similis and Calanus helgolandicus reproduction and abundance: contrasting responses to environmental variation at a shelf site
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Plankton Research"
DOI: 10.1093/plankt/fby007
Abstract: The pelagic copepods Oithona similis and Calanus helgolandicus have overlapping geographic ranges, yet contrast in feeding mode, reproductive strategy, and body size. We investigate how these contrasting traits influence the seasonality of copepod abundance and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.12896
Abstract: In many birds, hatching asynchrony is a common phenomenon, primarily driven by patterns of incubation behaviour. However, experimental results in blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) have shown that asynchrony is reduced by intrinsic properties of later… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13494
Abstract: Animals switch between inactive and active states, simultaneously impacting their energy intake, energy expenditure and predation risk, and collectively defining how they engage with environmental variation and trophic interactions. We assess daily activity responses to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.00690
Abstract: Estimating the species richness of microorganisms is of great importance in predicting, maintaining and managing microbial communities. Although the roles of environmental heterogeneity and geographical distance in structuring soil microbial communities have been studied intensively,… read more here.
