Abstract:
... In recent decades, nighttime light (NTL) images have been widely explored to portray human footprints. Most of the studies used monthly or yearly temporal composite NTL products as a solution for invalid observations due to cloud coverage and outlier signals. However, the impact of temporal compositing on NTL data and its applications remains largely unclear. Here, we utilized over 180,000 daily N ...

Abstract:
... Close observation of the local transmission of influenza A(H1N1) viruses enabled an estimate of the length of time the virus was transmitted without a mutation. Of 4,448 isolates from 11 consecutive years, 237 isolates could be categorized into 57 strain groups with identical hemagglutinin genes, which were monitored for the entire duration of an epidemic season. In addition, 35 isolates with iden ...

Abstract:
... Female song is widespread across songbirds, especially in tropical and subtropical species, in which females sing for resource defence, competition with intruders and mutual mate-guarding. We compared songs of males and females, produced spontaneously in a wild population of the Plain Laughingthrush Pterorhinus davidi, a songbird endemic to temperate China. We found that both sexes sing in this sp ...

Abstract:
... Comparative studies on insects can significantly contribute to understanding the evolution of lifespan, as the trait can feasibly be measured in a high number of species. If the evolutionary determinants of longevity were mainly extrinsic (ecological), related species from different habitats should systematically differ in individual lifespans. We recorded adult longevities for 110 species of geom ...

Abstract:
... Where is evolution fastest? The biotic interactions hypothesis proposes that greater species richness creates more ecological opportunity, driving faster evolution at low latitudes, whereas the ‘empty niches’ hypothesis proposes that ecological opportunity is greater where diversity is low, spurring faster evolution at high latitudes. We tested these contrasting predictions by analysing rates of b ...
