Coevolution (Habitat 🌄)
In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other's evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution. Charles Darwin mentioned evolutionary i...

It is a remarkably humbling realization that a single, unnoticed bite from an arthropod the size of an apple seed can completely rewrite an individual's relationship with the global food chain. Alpha-gal syndrome reminds us that the human immune system, for all its staggering sophistication and atomic-level precision, remains intimately and sometimes precariously tethered to the natural world.

When an animal moves, its visual system adjusts its neuronal activity to process the changing environmental input, but this adjustment operates on the same mathematical evolutionary principles across both mice and primates despite differing sensory outputs.

Foster's rule (Ecogeographic rules 🌍)
Foster's rule, also known as the island rule or the island effect, is an ecogeographical rule in evolutionary biology stating that members of a species get smaller or bigger depending on the resources available in the environment. For example, it is known that pygmy mammoths evolved from normal mammoths on sm...

Sister group (Evolutionary biology 🧬)
In phylogenetics, a sister group or sister taxon, also called an adelphotaxon, comprises the closest relative of another given unit in an evolutionary tree.

We used #outlieranalysis and #telemetry and found that migration success of Atlantic #salmon depended on genotype. See what you think:
