Aim The five Mediterranean regions of the globe are plant biodiversity hotspots, and there has not been a comparative analytical framework examining correlates of diversity across these regions. Of .....

Side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana) play a biological rock-paper-scissors game in which three differently colored male morphs utilize alternative mating strategies. We identified the genetic basi...

Sayol et al. show bird morphological diversity is constrained by trade-offs among key physical tasks for feeding and locomotion, with evolution trending toward specialized forms at the vertices of the...

Parasites forced Hawaii’s crickets to evolve hushed mating songs. A new study shows the parasites might be evolving their hearing in turn.

In a meta-analysis using 127 effect sizes from 77 comparative studies, we provide evidence for a significant relationship between sexual selection and sexual size dimorphism across the animal tree of....

Based on phylogenomic and geometric morphometric analyses of 132 anglerfish species, the authors infer a Cretaceous origin of the clade and show that bathypelagic anglerfish are undergoing rapid pheno...
