Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

Interactive rhythms across species: The evolutionary biology of animal chorusing and turn-taking

open access: yes, 2019
The study of human language is progressively moving toward comparative and interactive frameworks, extending the concept of turn‐taking to animal communication.

Social norms and farm animal protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Social change is slow and difficult. Social change for animals is formidably slow and difficult. Advocates and scholars alike have long tried to change attitudes and convince the public that eating animals is wrong.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Exploring factors that influence the behavior response to novel object tests in young thoroughbred horses: investigating sex, test site and auction history

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionThe novel object test is one of the three most common fear tests in veterinary science and employed in several different species. Although having been applied in several different studies in horses, it is surprising that there is no ...

Brain Monoamine Asymmetry in Chicks Subjected to a Separation-Stress Procedure with Litter Substrate

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2015
Activation of the right hemispheric neurotransmitter systems is related to negative emotion and stress in mammals, but this relationship is not fully known in birds. The effect of the presence of sawdust litter on behavior and brain monoamine laterality

Internet on animals: Wi‐Fi‐enabled devices provide a solution for big data transmission in biologging

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Biologging devices are deployed on animals to collect ultra‐fine‐scale movement data that reveal subsecond patterns in locomotion or long‐term patterns in motion and space use.

Central pattern generator for swimming in Melibe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The nudibranch mollusc Melibe leonina swims by bending from side to side. We have identified a network of neurons that appears to constitute the central pattern generator (CPG) for this locomotor behavior, one of only a few such networks to be described ...

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Does the expensive brain hypothesis apply to amphibians and reptiles?

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Vertebrate brains show extensive variation in relative size. The expensive brain hypothesis argues that one important source of this variation is linked to a species’ ability to generate the energy required to sustain the brain, especially during periods
