Extreme functional specialization of fertile leaves in a widespread fern species and its implications on the evolution of reproductive dimorphism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11552
Abstract: Abstract Resource allocation theory posits that organisms distribute limited resources across functions to maximize their overall fitness. In plants, the allocation of resources among maintenance, reproduction, and growth influences short‐term economics and long‐term evolutionary processes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abq8109
Abstract: Neuronal connectivity and activity-dependent synaptic plasticity are fundamental properties that support brain function and cognitive performance. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) intracellular signaling controls multiple mechanisms mediating neuronal growth, synaptic structure, and plasticity. However, it is still… read more here.
