Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 19, October 2025.ABSTRACT Salmonids have a remarkable ability to form sympatric morphs after postglacial colonisation of freshwater lakes. These morphs often differ in morphology, feeding and spawning behaviour. Here, we explored the genetic basis of morph differentiation in Arctic charr (n = 283) by first establishing a high‐quality reference genome and then using ...

Clinal variation in colony breeding structure and level of inbreeding in the subterranean termites Reticulitermes flavipes and R. grassei [PDF]
, 2012 International audienceSocial insects exhibit remarkable variation in their colony breeding structures, both within and among species. Ecological factors are believed to be important in shaping reproductive traits of social insect colonies, yet there is ...

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 9, September 2025.Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Reproductive competency of male and female neotenics of Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2007 Numerous male and female neotenic reproductives were observed in colonies of Reticulitermes flavipes. Three colonies had almost equal numbers of female and male neotenics (37:35, 4:2, 10:3) and one colony was significantly female skewed (10:2 ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 643-664, September/October 2025.Abstract Ornithopods are an extinct group of dinosaurs that were particularly abundant and diverse in the Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula, and whose abundance in the Maestrazgo Basin has allowed numerous taxa to be identified over the last decade. Many of these fossil remains are still taxonomically indeterminate and require a more detailed study ...

The Role of Play in Language Structure, Acquisition and Evolution
Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Similarly to language, play is an essential component of human behaviour and culture. However, the links between play and language have been underexamined and often neglected beyond the aesthetic uses of language as found in literature. But playing pervades language.

Specific behaviour of soldiers towards reproductives of termite genus Prorhinotermes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). [PDF]
, 2012 Soldier caste is the oldest altruistic caste in termites, highly specialized for defensive tasks. Therefore, a number of adaptations in anatomy and behaviour can be observed in soldier, lacking in other termite castes. The aim of this study was to verify
