Concentrations of Essential Trace Metals in the Brain of Animal Species—A Comparative Study
Brain Sciences, 2020 The essential trace metals iron, zinc, and copper have a significant physiological role in healthy brain development and function. Especially zinc is important for neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, synaptic transmission and plasticity, and neurite outgrowth.

Secondary sympatry caused by range expansion informs on the dynamics of microendemism in a biodiversity hotspot. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Islands are bounded areas where high endemism is explained either by allopatric speciation through the fragmentation of the limited amount of space available, or by sympatric speciation and accumulation of daughter species.

Divergent preference functions generate directional selection in a jumping spider
Scientific Reports, 2023 Sexual selection has long been thought to promote speciation, but this possibility still remains a topic of controversy. Many theoretical models have been developed to understand the relationship between sexual selection and speciation, but such ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010 Plasticity in the honeybee brain has been studied using the appetitive olfactory conditioning of the proboscis extension reflex, in which a bee learns the association between an odor and a sucrose reward.

Avian Research, 2021 Background Understanding how species diversify is a long-standing question in biology. The allopatric speciation model is a classic hypothesis to explain the speciation process. This model supposes that there is no gene flow during the divergence process

Colour polymorphism and conspicuousness do not increase speciation rates in Lacertids
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Conspicuous body colours and colour polymorphism have been hypothesized to increase rates of speciation. Conspicuous colours are evolutionary labile, and often involved in intraspecific sexual signalling and thus may provide a raw material from which ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The role of hybridization as one of the factors of speciation in mammals has been underestimated for a long time, but now there is a lot of data on its impact in mammalian evolution. Hybridization of species often occurs in their secondary contact zones,

Scientific Reports, 2022 The sibling species An. coluzzii and An. gambiae s.s. are major malaria vectors thought to be undergoing sympatric speciation with gene flow. In the absence of intrinsic post-zygotic isolation between the two taxa, speciation is thought possible through ...

Mate Choice Drives Evolutionary Stability in a Hybrid Complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Previous studies have shown that assortative mating acts as a driver of speciation by countering hybridization between two populations of the same species (pre-zygotic isolation) or through mate choice among the hybrids (hybrid speciation).
