Are seminal fluid proteins a male tool to manipulate females against their interests? Or do females have a say as well? Michalak et al. argue that if females can detect seminal fluids, using it as information can benefit both sexes.

The manifold hypothesis posits that many high-dimensional datasets actually lie near a low-dimensional manifold. Boyko and Rabosky consider phylogenetic comparative methods, which typically assume a flat, euclidean, morphospace.

Within a pitcher plant, bacteria break down prey to feed the plant. As the leaf ages, bacteria become less diverse, but more efficient at degrading insects. It appears that species that are strong degraders are weak competitors.
