Toward accurate species‐level metabarcoding of arthropod communities from the tropical forest canopy
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Metabarcoding of arthropod communities can be used for assessing species diversity in tropical forests but the methodology requires validation for accurate and repeatable species occurrences in complex mixtures.

Mitochondrial Molecular Adaptations and Life History Strategies Coevolve in Plants [PDF]
, 2008 Messenger RNA secondary structure prevents mutations at functionally important sites. Mutations at exposed sites would cause micro-adaptations, niche-specialization, and therefore, can be thought to promote K-strategists. Exposing, rather than protecting,

A Comparative demography of plants based upon elasticities of vital rates [PDF]
, 2004 Elasticities of matrix elements from population projection matrices are commonly used to analyze the relative contributions of different life history transitions (birth, survival, growth) to the finite rate of increase (lambda).

Convergent evolution in toothed whale cochleae
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Odontocetes (toothed whales) are the most species-rich marine mammal lineage. The catalyst for their evolutionary success is echolocation - a form of biological sonar that uses high-frequency sound, produced in the forehead and ultimately ...

Environmental conditions during early life accelerate the rate of senescence in a short-lived passerine bird [PDF]
, 2015 Environmental conditions experienced in early life may shape subsequent phenotypic traits including life history. We investigated how predation risk caused by domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) and local breeding density affected patterns of ...
