Alternative reproductive tactics can be maintained through different evolutionary avenues.
They can be genetically or stochastically determined, in which case they must yield equal …

10.7554/eLife.02440.001 The ability to form cooperative societies may explain why humans
and social insects have come to dominate the earth. Here we examine the ecological …

Herein we investigated the synchronous breeding migration and larval release of ovigerous
females in two dominant supratidal land crabs Cardisoma carnifex and Epigrapsus notatus …

Asynchronous hatching is an important component of animal reproductive strategies, yet it
has been studied almost exclusively in altricial birds. In this study, we provide evidence on the …

Our study investigated the fungistatic effects of the anal secretions of Nicrophorus nepalensis
Hope on mouse carcasses. The diversity of fungi on carcasses was investigated in five …

Carrion beetles (Nicrophorus spp.) use small vertebrate carcasses for food and reproduction.
Their ecology and behaviors are highly affected by the availability of carcasses and the …

Coevolution is often considered a major driver of speciation, but evidence for this claim is
not always found because diversity might be cryptic. When morphological divergence is low, …

Importance COVID-19 is a life-threatening illness for many patients. Prior studies have
established hematologic cancers as a risk factor associated with particularly poor outcomes from …

Importance Non-Hispanic Black individuals experience a higher burden of COVID-19 than
the general population; hence, there is an urgent need to characterize the unique clinical …

Looking beyond energy harvesting, metal-halide perovskites offer great opportunities to
revolutionise large-area photodetection technologies due to their high absorption coefficients, …
