The Modern Synthesis was not widely adopted by paleoanthropologists until the 1950s, but the perception has been that this event had important theoretical and methodological consequences for the study of hominid evolutio...

The most compelling models concerning the peopling of the Americas consider that modern Amerindians share a common biological pattern, showing affinities with populations of the Asian Northeast. The aim of the present st...

Abstract Accurately identifying the spatiotemporal evolution and spatial differentiation of carbon emission intensity in the transport sector is essential for formulating region-specific carbon reduction policies. This s...

The extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) emphasizes integrative approaches to understanding distributed adaptability, incorporating development and intergenerational effects, inclusive inheritance and niche construction...

Abstract When environments change and phenotypes become suboptimal, organisms often mitigate the costs of maladaptation with behavioural adjustments. Although this “buffering” of natural selection is widespread, its ...

Abstract We study the influence of the instantaneous appearance of a conformal Killing vector (CKV) in self-gravitating fluid spheres during their evolution. For doing that we introduce a tensor variable whose time depen...

Abstract The unambiguous identification of individual chromosomes is fundamental to studying genome organisation and evolution. Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel), a perennial tetraploid grass closely related to...

The rapid growth of e-commerce provides unprecedented convenience but also generates environmental costs, including carbon emissions, plastic packaging, and reverse logistics waste. Understanding green consumer behavior ...

We demonstrate that study of the evolving magnetic nature of coronal dimming regions can be used to probe the large-scale magnetic structure involved in the eruption of a coronal mass ejection (CME). We analyse the inten...

The analysis of the pre-Andean history of the Central Andes shows a complex tectonic evolution. The basement of the Andean continental margin was formed by the accretion of Precambrian blocks during the formation of Rodi...

Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a foo...

Shoreline resources constitute one of the most critical terrestrial elements, as they play a pivotal role in fluvial-lacustrine monitoring and the sustainable utilization of spatial resources. As the longest and most eco...

The conifer family Araucariaceae is characterized by a relatively small extant diversity, especially comparedwith its rich, diverse and worldwide distribution in the fossil record. Most of the Mesozoic record ofAraucaria...

Abstract Background Optimization of biotechnological processes is traditionally limited by time-consuming trial-and-error approaches and the complexity of simultaneously optimizing multiple, often conflicting objectives....

Over more than six decades of dedicated research, Chang Meemann’s career has spanned a critical era marked by a paradigm shift in vertebrate evolution studies. Beginning in the 1950s, inspired by the pioneering ichthyo...

Context. Fingering (thermohaline) convection has been invoked for several years as a possible extra-mixing which could occur in red giant stars; it is due to the modification of the chemical composition induced by nuclea...

White dwarf stars are the most common end point of stellar evolution. The ultramassive white dwarfs are of special interest as they are related to type Ia supernovae explosions, merger events, and fast radio bursts. Ultr...

Current hypotheses of early tetrapod evolution posit close ecological andbiogeographic ties to the extensive coal-producing wetlands of the Carboniferouspalaeoequator with rapid replacement of archaic tetrapod groups by ...

Specialized literature in the field of international law has established the theory according to which international law emerged and developed from the need to establish an orderly framework for the relationships establi...

Context. Asteroseismology is a powerful tool used to infer the evolutionary status and chemical stratification of white dwarf stars and to gain insights into the physical processes that lead to their formation. This is p...

The genus Homo has a moderately high degree of morphological diversity, with about fifteen species proposed. It is debatable whether there could have been several species of Homo coexisting and sharing similar ecological...

Core-collapse supernova remnants (CCSNRs) are crucial for understanding the final stages of massive star evolution, as they reflect the imprints of their progenitors’ preexplosion activities. However, the evolution of ...

The western Gondwana margin underwent a complex geodynamic history during the early Paleozoic, and major uncertainties remain as to the role of tectonism in sedimentary dynamics. This study focuses on the lower part Sant...

We present the first public data release of the GOGREEN (Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments) and GCLASS (Gemini CLuster Astrophysics Spectroscopic Survey) surveys of galaxies in dense environments...
