Domestic species are an example of experimental evolution involving intentional selective breeding for particular traits. These species provide an opportunity to study varying rates of …
Natural selection causes genetic variants that increase fitness to spread within a population. Individuals bearing such alleles will leave behind more descendants and those descendants …
Offspring size is a key life history trait that varies widely and affects the function of neonatal forms within their immediate environment. Using the Trinidadian …
Anthropogenic changes to the global nitrogen (N) cycle have resulted in both positive and negative consequences to environmental and human health. Where N is scarce, …
Fossilized tracks provide the only direct records of the locomotion of extinct taxa. As such, fossil hominin footprints have the potential to provide insight into …
The plagiopatagiales proprii are an array of muscles hypothesized to modulate stiffness of the armwing membrane and prevent excessive billowing during flight in bats. Electromyographic …
