Black spicules from a new interstitial opheliid polychaete Thoracophelia minuta sp. nov. (Annelida: Opheliidae)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The phylum Annelida exhibits high morphological diversity coupled with its extensive ecological diversity, and the process of its evolution has been an attractive research subject for many researchers.

Evolutionary ecology of opsin gene sequence, expression and repertoire. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Linking molecular evolution to biological function is a long-standing challenge in evolutionary biology. Some of the best examples of this involve opsins, the genes that encode the molecular basis of light reception.

Ecology of Human Medical Enterprises: From Disease Ecology of Zoonoses, Cancer Ecology Through to Medical Ecology of Human Microbiomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In nature, the interaction between pathogens and their hosts is only one of a handful of interaction relationships between species, including parasitism, predation, competition, symbiosis, commensalism, and among others.

TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits ...

Ecosystem size predicts eco-morphological variability in a postglacial diversification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Identifying the processes by which new phenotypes and species emerge has been a long-standing effort in evolutionary biology. Young adaptive radiations provide a model to study patterns of morphological and ecological diversification in environmental ...

Updating studies of past life and ancient ecologies using defossilized organismal proxies

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The fossil record represents the world’s largest historical dataset of biodiversity. However, the biomechanical and ecological potential of this dataset has been restricted by various unique barriers obstructing experimental study.

The Role of Myth in Understanding Nature

open access: yesEthnobiology Letters, 2016
Use of metaphor embodies myth in Western science and Native American traditional knowledge traditions about understanding the “natural” world and the nonhuman “other.” Using personal history, I compare a myth/metaphor from each intellectual tradition ...

The contribution of statistical physics to evolutionary biology

open access: yes, 2011
Evolutionary biology shares many concepts with statistical physics: both deal with populations, whether of molecules or organisms, and both seek to simplify evolution in very many dimensions.

The evolutionary ecology of interactive synchronism: The illusion of the optimal phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this article, we discuss some ecological-evolutionary strategies that allow synchronization of organisms, resources, and conditions. Survival and reproduction require synchronization of life cycles of organisms with favourable environmental ...
