ABSTRACT Early developmental processes significantly influence growth and maturation patterns, aquaculture traits that are critical for physiological adaptation and productivity. The vestigial‐like family member 3 gene (vgll3) plays a key role in growth and maturation across diverse taxa, including mammals and teleost fishes.

Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

Ecological speciation in sympatric palms: 2. Pre- and post-zygotic isolation [PDF]
We evaluated reproductive isolation in two species of palms (Howea) that have evolved sympatrically on Lord Howe Island (LHI, Australia). We estimated the strength of some pre- and post-zygotic mechanisms in maintaining current species boundaries.

Sex-specific timing of autumn migration in birds : the role of sexual size dimorphism, migration distance and differences in breeding investment [PDF]
Multiple studies have investigated differential migration of sexes during spring migration, while such differences during autumn migration are poorly studied. We tested several functional hypotheses explaining differences in autumnmigration dates between

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...
