DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.12874
Abstract: Neural networks are optimized to detect temporal coincidence on the millisecond timescale. Here, we offer a synthetic hypothesis based on recent structural insights into SNAREs and the C2 domain proteins to explain how synaptic transmission… read more here.

Allelopathic effects of native and invasive Brassica nigra do not support the novel-weapons hypothesis.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "American journal of botany"
DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1516
Abstract: PREMISE The novel-weapons hypothesis predicts that some plants are successful invaders because they release allelopathic compounds that are highly suppressive to naïve competitors in invaded ranges but are relatively ineffective against competitors in the native… read more here.

The Developmental Gene Hypothesis for Punctuated Equilibrium: Combined Roles of Developmental Regulatory Genes and Transposable Elements
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "BioEssays"
DOI: 10.1002/bies.201900173
Abstract: Theories of the genetics underlying punctuated equilibrium (PE) have been vague to date. Here the developmental gene hypothesis is proposed, which states that: 1) developmental regulatory (DevReg) genes are responsible for the orchestration of metazoan… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2728
Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia around the globe. Its pathogenesis is characterized primarily by the extracellular deposition of amyloid β peptides and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Despite the significant investments in neurological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10937
Abstract: Abstract Climate change involves increases in mean temperature and changes in temperature variability at multiple temporal scales but research rarely considers these temporal scales. The climate variability hypothesis (CVH) provides a conceptual framework for exploring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11318
Abstract: Abstract In anurans, acoustic communication is the most important form of communication at the interspecific and intraspecific levels. Acoustic diagnostic features may be a potential alternative to morphometric and molecular diagnostics. Here, we assessed the… read more here.

Experimentally Testing the Hypothesis That Hybrid Fitness Can Increase Evolutionarily: An Example in Spadefoot Toads
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72531
Abstract: ABSTRACT Hybrids often have reduced fitness because of genetic incompatibilities. If populations contain variation at loci involved in these genetic incompatibilities, then selection can disfavor alleles involved in incompatibilities, thereby reducing their frequency within the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8620
Abstract: Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in aquatic environments and have become a critical environmental issue in recent years due to their adverse impacts on the physiology, reproduction, and survival of aquatic animals. Exposure to MPs… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The postulates of developmental instability–sexual selection hypothesis is intensely debated among evolutionary biologists, wherein despite a large amount of empirical data, evidence for or against it has been largely inconclusive. A key assumption of… read more here.

Abstract: Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that temperate herbivores surf the green wave of emerging plants during spring migration. Despite the importance of autumn migration, few studies have conceptualized resource tracking of temperate herbivores during this… read more here.
