Plant diversity stabilizes soil temperature

This study shows plant diversity stabilizes soil temperature by increasing organic carbon and leaf area index, with effects strengthening over time and under extreme conditions.

State-dependency of behavioural traits is a function of the life-stage in a holometabolous insect

This study shows that behavioral state-dependency varies with life-stage in a holometabolous insect, with starvation affecting larvae and adults differently in terms of activity and immobility.

A Phylogenomic Assessment of Processes Underpinning Convergent Evolution in Open-Habitat Chats

This study investigates convergent evolution in open-habitat chats using phylogenomic analyses to assess the roles of ILS, introgression, and novel mutations.

Novelty at second glance: A critical appraisal of the novel-object paradigm based onmeta-analysis.

This paper evaluates the novel-object paradigm through meta-analysis, finding that individual consistency estimates vary with time and object novelty, but results are highly heterogeneous.

Phylogenetic, geographic and ecological distribution of a green-brown polymorphisms in European Orthopterans

This study examines the phylogenetic, geographic, and ecological distribution of green-brown color polymorphism in European orthopterans, finding it widespread and influenced by environmental factors and natural selection.

Conditional repeatability and the variance explained by reaction norm variation in random slope models

The paper introduces conditional repeatability as a measure of between-individual variation in response to environmental gradients, providing equations and recommendations for its calculation and reporting.

Linked-read sequencing enables haplotype-resolved resequencing at population scale

This study shows that linked-read sequencing at moderate depth can produce high-quality haplotype-resolved genome data for population-scale resequencing in birds.

The coefficient of determination R2 and intra-class correlation coefficient from generalized linear mixed-effects models revisited and expanded

The paper expands the estimation of R2 and ICC for generalized linear mixed models to non-Gaussian distributions and discusses methodological considerations.

Fixed effect variance and the estimation of the heritability: Issues and solutions

The paper addresses issues in heritability estimation using mixed effects models and proposes solutions that include fixed effects variance in heritability calculations.
