Physiological Basis of Sex Differences in Human Performance and Exercise‐Associated Pathology

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of sex differences in human physical performance is well‐established and shaped by distinct endocrine, anatomical and physiological mechanisms. Despite sustained advances, our understanding of how inherent biological factors drive variations in exercise capacity and related pathologies is still developing.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Counteracting selective pressures: Museum collections show declining Aglais io wing size

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Using museum specimens, we found that forewing and hindwing length of Aglais io declined significantly between 1953 and 1984 across three north‐western German populations. The observed long‐term reduction in wing size in Aglais io is potentially linked to environmental change, with consistent patterns across all studied localities.
