Animal Social Network Structures Across the Fast‐Slow Continuum
Using a mathematical model, we examine how the rate of demographic replacement (represented by generation time) influences emergent social network structure in natural populations. By considering a range of social preferences and modes of social inheritance, we find that demographic replacement influences the extent to which social networks can self ...

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

The Structure of Vertebrate Antigen Receptor Repertoires: An Evolutionary Perspective
ABSTRACT In vertebrate adaptive immune systems, somatically diversified antigen receptors assume a central role in self/nonself discrimination. Attesting to the presence of a unique but unknown selective environment at early stages of vertebrate evolution, this facility emerged twice, in the ancestors of jawless and jawed vertebrates.
