Optimal polyandry in fruit flies
EvolutionAbstract The study of polyandry has received increasing scientific attention with an emphasis on the fitness benefits and costs that females derive from mating with multiple males. There are still gaps in our understanding of how polyandry affects female fitness, however, as many previous studies compared the fitness outcomes of a single

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Opiine (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) parasitoids of tropical fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) of the Australian and South Pacific region [PDF]
, 2005 Opiine wasps are well known larval and egg-larval parasitoids of dacine fruit flies, one of the most important insect pest groups of the South Pacific. For Australia, Papua New Guinea and other South Pacific island countries and territories, no regional

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

MATING-INDUCED RECOMBINATION IN FRUIT FLIES [PDF]
Evolution, 2007 In traditional deterministic models the conditions for the evolution of sex and sexual behavior are limited because their benefits are context dependent. In novel and adverse environments both multiple mating and recombination can help generate gene combinations that allow for rapid adaptation.

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Evaluations of community‐engaged research (CEnR) typically emphasize health outcomes rather than the partnership processes that contribute to intervention effectiveness. This scoping review synthesized community partner‐identified strategies for successful community‐academic health research partnerships with Black American communities and ...
