Mate‐guarding success depends on male investment in a butterfly [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 This is the first quantitative study to investigate potential factors on which male butterfly investment in mate‐guarding devices may depend, and how the variation in these devices impacts their persistence on females. The study's aim was to reveal the alternative mate‐guarding devices' (i.e.

MIJ821 (onfasprodil) in healthy volunteers: First‐in‐human, randomized, placebo‐controlled study (single ascending dose and repeated intravenous dose) [PDF]
Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2236-2252, November 2023., 2023 Abstract This single‐center study administered MIJ821 (onfasprodil) as an intravenous infusion to healthy volunteers and included two parts: a single ascending dose study (Part 1) and a repeated intravenous dose study (Part 2). Primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending intravenous doses infused over a 40‐min ...

Phenotypic senescence in a natural insect population [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Phenotypic senescence is a largely understudied component of senescence in natural insect populations. In a wild Clouded Apollo population investigated by us, both body mass and thorax width declined nonlinearly with age. Individuals appearing earlier in the flight period had significantly higher initial body mass and thorax width, and their body mass ...

Not only climate: The importance of biotic interactions in shaping species distributions at macro scales [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Traditionally abiotic factors are considered the main drivers of biodiversity at macro‐scales, whereas biotic factors are considered important almost only at local scales. Modeling the distribution of 177 African bat species, we demonstrated the importance of considering biotic interactions in SDMs at macro‐scales regardless of the species’ ecology ...

Phenology and foraging bias contribute to sex‐specific foraging patterns in the rare declining butterfly Argynnis idalia idalia [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Sex‐specific foraging behavior is an understudied driver of intraspecific variation in plant–pollinator relationships. We examined 21 years of flower visitation in the rare, declining butterfly Argynnis idalia idalia in order to determine the role that both phenology and visitation bias play in driving differences between male and female floral ...

Is there a massive glacial–Holocene flora continuity in Central Europe?
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2307-2319, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The prevailing paradigm about the Quaternary ecological and evolutionary history of Central European ecosystems is that they were repeatedly impoverished by regional extinctions of most species during the glacial periods, followed by massive recolonizations from southern and eastern refugia during interglacial periods.

The Mnemosyne Number and the Rheology of Remembrance [PDF]
, 2022 The concept of a Deborah number is widely used in study of viscoelastic materials and to represent the ratio of a material relaxation time to the timescale of observation, and to demarcate transitions between predominantly viscous or elastic material responses.

European Habitats Directive has fostered monitoring but not prevented species declines
Conservation Letters, Volume 16, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Strong biodiversity declines have been reported across the European Union, especially in insects, despite conservation policy such as the Habitats Directive that aims to halt biodiversity loss. Using 50 years of observational data, we examined indicators for the goals of the Directive in terms of improving monitoring efforts and occupancy ...

Spelling correctness as a witness of changing documentary culture in Tuscia (eighth–ninth centuries)
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 220-251, May 2023., 2023 This paper discusses the evolution of documentary culture in early medieval Tuscia by quantitatively examining the Latin spelling of charter scribes in relation to the following factors: time, the distinction between the formulaic and non‐formulaic parts of the document, the scribe’s domicile, the scribe’s professional status, and the document type ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 19, 16 October 2022., 2022 Abstract Mountain regions cover roughly one‐fourth of the Earth's surface, store most snow and ice outside polar regions and are hotspots of species richness. Regrettably, they are also viewed as climate hotspots where change can anticipate/amplify what is occurring elsewhere on Earth.
