Abstract: ABSTRACT Olfaction is a rapidly evolving sense. Given its diverse functions, from finding ecological niches to selection of mates, we hypothesized that olfaction is subjected to divergent evolutionary pressures. We compared the olfactory sensitivity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ancene.2019.100209
Abstract: Abstract Cities are urged to promote green infrastructures to reduce their global environmental impacts, while simultaneously adapting to the global climatic variability that such impacts generate. Human Niche Construction theory, however, predicts evolutionary pressures acting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.13814
Abstract: Across the evolution of powered flight, the ecological niche of aerial insectivore has been occupied by members of the three volant vertebrate clades—Aves and Chiroptera, and the first known volant vertebrates, pterosaurs. However, morphological and… read more here.
