The diversity of eco-evolutionary dynamics: comparing the feedbacks between ecology and evolution across scales [PDF]

, 2019
1.Evidence of reciprocal influences between ecological and evolutionary processes (eco‐evolutionary dynamics) is accumulating at different levels of biological organisation, ranging from populations to communities and even ecosystems.

Food quality influences behavioural flexibility and cognition in wild house mice

Scientific Reports
Environmental change is frequent. To adjust and survive, animals need behavioural flexibility. Recently, cognitive flexibility has emerged as a driving force for adjusting to environmental change.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

A dynamic multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on a dynamic evolutionary environment model [PDF]

Swarm and Evolutionary Computation, 2019
Abstract Traditional dynamic multiobjective evolutionary algorithms usually imitate the evolution of nature, maintaining diversity of population through different strategies and making the population track the Pareto optimal solution set efficiently after the environmental change.

Contact Toxicity, Electrophysiology, Anti-Mating, and Repellent Effects of Piper guineense Against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Insects
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a long-distance migratory pest, which invaded the African continent in 2016, causing enormous losses to agricultural crops, especially maize.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Evolutionary dynamics of language systems [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017
Significance Do different aspects of language evolve in different ways? Here, we infer the rates of change in lexical and grammatical data from 81 languages of the Pacific. We show that, in general, grammatical features tend to change faster and have higher amounts of conflicting signal than basic vocabulary.

Dual-stressor selection alters eco-evolutionary dynamics in experimental communities [PDF]

, 2018
Recognizing when and how rapid evolution drives ecological change is fundamental for our understanding of almost all ecological and evolutionary processes such as community assembly, genetic diversification and the stability of communities and ecosystems.

Population size changes and selection drive patterns of parallel evolution in a host–virus system

Nature Communications, 2018
Pathogens exert strong selection on hosts and thus may promote parallel evolution. Here, the authors find that hosts experimentally coevolving with a virus have parallel changes in population size, phenotype, and genomic regions, but accelerated ...

Collective narratives catalyse cooperation

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2022
Humans invest in fantastic stories—mythologies. Recent evolutionary theories suggest that cultural selection may favour moralising stories that motivate prosocial behaviours.
