Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Integrating Ecology and Economics in Agent‐Based Models to Support Agricultural Policy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Agent‐based models are valuable tools for studying social‐ecological systems in agriculture. This review maps how existing agent‐based models represent the human and natural domains of agriculture, and discusses developments in economic and ecological agent‐based modeling.

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal toxic effects of medium-chain chlorinated paraffins on Paralichthys olivaceus fry

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
An increase in medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in marine ecosystems caused by large-scale production is a serious threat to aquatic organisms. However, its toxicity to marine organisms, especially the molecular mechanisms, is unclear.
