Climate change and spatial distribution shaped the life-history traits of schizothoracine fishes on the Tibetan Plateau and its adjacent areas

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Understanding the mechanisms by which the environment shapes the life history of fishes is critical for our ability to predict the responses of species or ecosystems under global environmental change.

Ecological use of vertebrate surrogate species in ecosystem conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Surrogate species approaches are widely employed by conservation biologists to help address biodiversity conservation issues when distribution and abundance data for most species of conservation concern are not available or are limited due to ...

Molecular genetics and quantitative traits divergence among populations of Eothenomys miletus from Hengduan Mountain region

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
An important objective of evolutionary biology has always been to grasp the evolutionary and genetic processes that contribute to speciation. The present work provides the first detailed account of the genetic and physiological adaptation to changing ...

Effects of high-fiber food on gut microbiology and energy metabolism in Eothenomys miletus at different altitudes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Intestinal microorganisms assist the host in digesting complex and difficultly decomposed foods; expand the host’s dietary ecological niche. In order to investigate the effect of high-fiber food on intestinal microorganisms of Eothenomys miletus at ...

Adaptive Inflationary Differential Evolution [PDF]

2014 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2014
In this paper, an adaptive version of Inflationary Differential Evolution is presented and tested on a set of real case problems taken from the CEC2011 competition on realworld applications. Inflationary Differential Evolution extends standard Differential Evolution with both local and global restart procedures. The proposed adaptive algorithm utilizes

Roles of leptin on energy balance and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Leptin is a hormone mainly synthesized and secreted by white adipose tissue (WAT), which regulates various physiological processes. To investigate the role of leptin in energy balance and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus, voles were randomly ...

The social dynamics of basins of attraction

Ecology and Society, 2021
In this paper we conceptualize transformations as societal shifts from one basin of attraction to another. Such shifts occur when a society's information processing system is no longer fit to deal with the dynamics with which the society is involved.

Predicting adaptive evolution [PDF]

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2001
Phylogenetic trees reconstruct past evolution and can provide evidence of past evolutionary pressure on genes and on individual codons. In addition to tracing past evolutionary events, molecular phylogenetics might also be used to predict future evolution.
