Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.ABSTRACT Host species have evolved different strategies for dealing with parasites. ‘Vulnerable’ hosts, which suffer reduced fitness from parasites, are under selection to evolve defences. ‘Tolerant’ hosts, by contrast, avoid reductions in fitness by mitigating parasite damage.

Cactaceæ in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]
Nature, 1895 IN my notice (NATURE, p. 623) of Dr. Baur's botanical collections from the Galapagos Islands, I intended to add a few words respecting the Cactaceae, but forgot it at the last moment. This natural order of plants forms the most conspicuous feature in the vegetation of some of the islands, as may be seen in the excellent views illustrating the cruise of

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT This retrospective analysis explores how historical fishing activity (1948–2009) at French Frigate Shoals (FFS) can be examined in relation to the foraging ecology of Hawaiian monk seals. We bring together fisheries catch records, monk seal demographic information, and ecological studies on prey, competitors, and predators to evaluate ...

Cactaceæ in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]
Nature, 1896 MR. HEMSLEY is mistaken in stating, as he does on p. 623 of NATURE for October 24, 1895, that Dr. G. Baur was attached to the U.S. Fish Commission Steamer Albatross. Dr. Baur had no connection with the Albatross Expedition of 1891, the object of which was deep-sea dredging, and only included an incidental visit of a few days to the Galapagos.

The politics of a natural laboratory: Claiming territory and governing life in the Galápagos Islands
Social Studies of Science, 2018 The Galápagos Islands are often called a natural laboratory of evolution. This metaphor provides a powerful way of understanding space that, through scientific research, conservation and tourism, has shaped the archipelago over the past century ...

Dual Role of a Subducted Seamount in Megathrust Rupture Initiation and Rupture Barrier
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Using high‐resolution 3D tomography and a relocated 2010–2022 earthquake catalog, we identify a seamount at 20–25 km depth beneath the Mompiche–Cojimíes region in the coastal forearc of Ecuador. This provides a rare, well‐resolved example of seamount preservation at these depths. The seamount coincides with a low interseismic‐coupling corridor
