The ecology of social transitions in human evolution [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 We know that there are fundamental differences between humans and living apes, and also between living humans and their extinct relatives. It is also probably the case that the most significant and divergent of these differences relate to our social behaviour and its underlying cognition, as much as to fundamental differences in physiology ...

Analysis of abrupt transitions in ecological systems [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2011 The occurrence and causes of abrupt transitions, thresholds, or regime shifts between ecosystem states are of great concern and the likelihood of such transitions is increasing for many ecological systems. General understanding of abrupt transitions has been advanced by theory, but hindered by the lack of a common, accessible, and data-driven approach ...

FoodsThe gut-liver-adipose axis plays a pivotal role in metabolic regulation, and its dysregulation contributes to obesity and metabolic syndrome. Probiotics and polycosanol have shown potential in modulating gut barrier integrity, lipid metabolism, and ...

Eating healthy or wasting less? Reducing resource footprints of food consumption
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 To feed future populations on ever-scarcer natural resources, policy initiatives aim to decrease resource footprints of food consumption. While adopting healthier diets has shown great potential to reduce footprints, current political initiatives ...

Journal of Freshwater EcologyDitches are a key feature of the agricultural landscape, especially in relation to rice cultivation. Despite being affected by anthropogenic pressures in terms of flow regulation and channelisation, they can play an important role as habitats for aquatic

The ecological transition in speciation [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 SummaryEcological transitions are at the core of different modes of speciation. These transitions face both genetic and demographic hurdles. This paper focuses on how these hurdles are overcome, allowing ecological speciation and speciation via hybridization and/or polyploidy. Niche shifting is a two‐step process.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...
