Conflict within species determines the value of a mutualism between species.
Mutually beneficial interactions between species play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. Nevertheless, such mutualisms can erode into antagonistic interactions. One explanation is that the fitness...
Collaboration enhances career progression in academic science, especially for female researchers.
Collaboration and diversity are increasingly promoted in science. Yet how collaborations influence academic career progression, and whether this differs by gender, remains largely unknown. Here, we use co-authorship ego networks...

INTRODUCTION: All bird eggs are exposed to microbes in the environment, which if transmitted to the developing embryo, could cause hatching failure. However, the risk of trans-shell infection varies with environmental conditions...
Cloacal microbiota are biogeographically structured in larks from desert, tropical and temperate areas.

Why and how to apply Weber's Law to coevolution and mimicry
Abstract: In mimicry systems, receivers discriminate between the stimuli of models and mimics. Weber's Law of proportional processing states that receiver discrimination is based on proportional, not absolute, differences...

Factors influencing post-exercise plasma protein carbonyl concentration
Exercise of sufficient intensity and duration can cause acute oxidative stress. Plasma protein carbonyl (PC) moieties are abundant, chemically stable and easily detectable markers of oxidative stress that are widely used for the...
