Size increase without genetic divergence in the Eurasian water shrew Neomys fodiens
When a population shows a marked morphological change, it is important to know whether that population is genetically distinct; if it is not, the novel trait could correspond to an adaptation that...
A source of exogenous oxidative stress improves oxidative status and favors pheomelanin synthesis in zebra finches
Some organisms can modulate gene expression to trigger physiological responses that help adapt to environmental stress. The synthesis of the pigment pheomelanin in melanocytes seems to be one of...
A risk assessment in Spain reveals that 30 invasive plant species are available for sale
Horticulture is one of the main pathways of deliberate introduction of non-native plants, some of which might become invasive. Of the 914 commercial ornamental outdoor plant species sold in Spain,...
Importance of highly-mobile pollinators to safeguard tree population recruitment
Restricted seed dispersal frequently leads to fine-scale spatial genetic structure within plant populations. Depending on its spatial extent and the mobility of pollinators, this inflated kinship...
Complexity of translation of research outputs to society
Researchers in multiple, related fields that address complex social and environmental challenges, have shown ongoing enthusiasm for applying transdisciplinary social-ecological systems research to...
