Sedum guniuensis, a New Species of Sedum (Crassulaceae) From Anhui, China
A new species of Sedum (Crassulaceae), Sedum guniuensis from the Guniujiang Mountains in southern Anhui, China, is described and illustrated. The new species differs from S. emarginatum by its smaller heart‐shaped leaves and creeping growth habit. ABSTRACT A new species of Sedum (Crassulaceae), Sedum guniuensis from the Guniujiang Mountains in southern

Young‐Of‐Year Atlantic Cod and Saithe Differ in Individuality and Structure of Movement Traits
We examined movement behavior in young‐of‐year Atlantic cod and saithe using repeated laboratory trials across ontogeny and social contexts. While mean behavioral differences were modest, the species diverged strongly in how behavioral variation was structured: cod showed greater among‐individual differentiation and context‐dependent plasticity ...

Rocky desertification exerts significant selective pressures on honeybee morphology. Honeybees undergo adaptive evolution in 19 genes such as glycogen biosynthesis. Genes like GBE promote organismal survival under desertification. ABSTRACT Unlike traditional desertification, rocky desertification is a distinct form of land degradation characterized by ...

Life History and Reproductive Parameters in an Increasingly Abundant Killer Whale Population
In the coastal waters of the eastern North Pacific, multiple discrete populations of killer whales exhibit distinct patterns in demography and abundance that are partially captured by population vital rates. We used 50 years of photographic identification data to estimate parameters relevant to maturation, fecundity, and mortality for a unique ...
