Background Dietary shifts are major evolutionary steps that shape ecological niches and biodiversity. The beetle family Coccinellidae, commonly known as ladybirds, first transitioned from a fungivorou...

Abstract. Differential dispersion between the sexes can impact the colonization process and demographic history of a species. Here, we explored the demogra

Germline mutations play a crucial role in determining the rate of molecular evolution. In the spider genus Stegodyphus, sociality has independently evolved three times within the past million years, e...

Older adults in Wales who had the jab were 20% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia that those not vaccinated Researchers who tracked cases of dementia in Welsh adults have uncovered the strongest evidence yet that the shingles vaccination reduces the risk of developing the devastating brain disease. Health records of more than 280,000 older adults revealed that those who received a largely discontinued shingles vaccine called Zostavax were 20% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia over the next seven years than those who went without.

Simulating a metapopulation of human evolution without Neanderthal introgression into Homo sapiens still identifies Neanderthal fragments in simulated genomes, and an admixture event that never took p...

Effective population size (Ne) is one of the most important parameters in evolutionary biology, as it is linked to the long-term survival capability of species. Therefore, Ne greatly interests conser....

Integrative analyses reveal sequential instances of interspecies gene flow at a key gene controlling plumage coloration in birds.

Ants are an emerging model for eco–evo–devo studies. Here, we present the first complete developmental table––from embryo to metamorphosis––for the ant Monomorium pharaonis. While doing so, we discov...
