Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Acceptance of evolution theory and understanding of human evolution among health sciences students in France: A national cross‐sectional study

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary theory provides a fundamental framework for understanding human anatomy and health. However, evolution acceptance and conceptual understanding are distinct constructs that may not co‐vary. This study aimed to assess (1) evolution acceptance and (2) knowledge of human evolution in health sciences students.

Quantitative Partitioning of Photoautotrophic and Photoheterotrophic Contributions During Mixotrophic Growth of Scenedesmus obliquus

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Carbon and oxygen fluxes during photoautotrophic, photoheterotrophic and mixotrophic growth of Scenedesmus obliquus. ABSTRACT Mixotrophic growth of microalgae involves the simultaneous assimilation of inorganic and organic carbon sources, but the quantitative contributions of photoautotrophic and photoheterotrophic metabolisms remain poorly resolved ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
