Currently, holocephalan diversity is concentrated in deep-sea species, suggesting that this lineage might contain relictual diversity that now persists in the ocean depths. However, the relationships of living holocephalans to their extinct relatives and the timescale of their diversification remain unclear. Here, we reconstruct the evolutionary history of holocephalans using comprehensive morphological and DNA sequence datasets. Our results suggest that crown holocephalans entered and diversified in deep (below 1000 m) ocean waters after the Cretaceous-Palaeogene mass extinction, contrasting with the hypothesis that this ecosystem has acted as a refugium of ancient cartilaginous fishes. These invasions were decoupled from the evolution of key features of the holocephalan body plan, including crushing dentition, a single frontal clasper, and holostylic jaw suspension, during the Palaeozoic Era. However, these invasions considerably postdated the appearance of extant holocephalan families 150 million years ago during a major period of biotic turnover in oceans termed the Mesozoic Marine Revolution. These results clarify the origins of living holocephalans as the recent diversification of a single surviving clade among numerous Palaeozoic lineages.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2033","pages":"20241824"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11521621/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142547000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the drivers of the extensive variation observed in prevalence and mean intensity of infection, even among related parasite taxa infecting related hosts, remain mostly unknown. We performed phylogenetically grounded Bayesian modelling across hundreds of amphibian populations to test the effects of various predictors of prevalence and intensity of infection by six families of helminth parasites. We focused on the potential effects of key host traits and environmental factors pertinent to focal host populations, i.e. the local diversity of the amphibian community and local climatic variables. Our analyses revealed several important determinants of prevalence or intensity of infection in various parasite families, but none applying to all families. Our study uncovered no universal driver of parasite infection levels, even among parasite taxa from the same phylum, or with similar life cycles and transmission modes. Although local variables not considered here may have effects extending across taxa, our findings suggest the need for a taxon-specific approach in any attempt to predict disease dynamics and impacts in the face of environmental and climatic changes.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2033","pages":"20241673"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11479760/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142473149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some studies have used these tests to argue for emotion-like states in insects. However, most of these results could have other explanations, including changes in motivation and attention. To control for these explanations, we developed a novel judgment bias test, requiring bumblebees to make an active choice indicating their interpretation of ambiguous stimuli. Bumblebees were trained to associate high or low rewards, in two different reward chambers, with distinct colours. We subsequently presented bees with ambiguous colours between the two learnt colours. In response, physically stressed bees were less likely than control bees to enter the reward chamber associated with high reward. Signal detection and drift diffusion models showed that stressed bees were more likely to choose low reward locations in response to ambiguous cues. The signal detection model further showed that the behaviour of stressed bees was explained by a reduction in the estimated probability of high rewards. We thus provide strong evidence for judgement biases in bees and suggest that their stress-induced behaviour is explained by reduced expectation of higher rewards, as expected for a pessimistic judgement bias.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2032","pages":"20240512"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11461053/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142392633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand how gestation length variation, including its association with body mass and lifespan variation, changed over mammalian evolution, we conducted phylogeny-informed analyses of 845 representative extant species. We found that gestation length substantially differed in both whether and how strongly it was associated with body mass and lifespan across mammals. For example, gestation length was not associated with lifespan or body mass in Chiroptera and Cetacea but was strongly associated only with body mass in Carnivora. We also identified 52 evolutionary shifts in gestation length variation across the mammal phylogeny and 14 shifts when we jointly considered variation of all three traits; six shifts were shared. Notably, two of these shifts, both positive, occurred at the roots of Cetacea and Pinnipedia, respectively, coinciding with the transition of these clades to the marine environment, whereas a negative shift occurred at the root of Chiroptera, coinciding with the evolution of flight in this clade. These results suggest that the relationship between gestation length and the two other traits has varied substantially across mammalian phylogeny.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2033","pages":"20241412"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11521618/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142546999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transmission variability, immune uncertainties and human behaviour are crucial features for the predictability and implementation of effective mitigation strategies. Nonetheless, the effects of individual health incentives on disease dynamics are not well understood. We use a behavioural-immuno-epidemiological model to study the joint evolution of human behaviour and epidemic dynamics for different immunity scenarios. Our results reveal a trade-off between the individuals' immunity levels and the behavioural responses produced. We find that adaptive human behaviour can avoid dynamical resonance by avoiding large outbreaks, producing subsequent uniform outbreaks. Our forward-looking behaviour model shows an optimal planning horizon that minimizes the epidemic burden by balancing the individual risk-benefit trade-off. We find that adaptive human behaviour can compensate for differential immunity levels, equalizing the epidemic dynamics for scenarios with diverse underlying immunity landscapes. Our model can adequately capture complex empirical behavioural dynamics observed during pandemics. We tested our model for different US states during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we explored extensions of our modelling framework that incorporate the effects of lockdowns, the emergence of a novel variant, prosocial attitudes and pandemic fatigue.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2033","pages":"20241772"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11521615/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142546984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evolutionary theory provides frameworks to understand how simple polymorphisms or continuous variation are maintained, but phenotypes inherited as discrete suites of quantitative traits are difficult to fit into this framework. Supergenes have been proposed as a solution to this problem-if causal genes are co-located, they can be inherited as if a single gene, thus bridging the gap between simple polymorphisms and continuous traits. We develop models to ask: how are critical supergenes for maintaining phenotypic diversity? In our simplest model, without explicit genetic architectures, three alternative reproductive morphs are maintained in many of the parameter combinations we evaluated. For these same parameter values, models with demographic stochasticity, recombination and mutation (but without explicit genetic architecture) maintained only two of these three morphs, with stochasticity determining which morphs persisted. With explicit genetic architectures, regardless of whether causal loci were co-located in a supergene or distributed randomly, this stochasticity in which morphs are maintained was reduced. Even when phenotypic variation was lost, genetic diversity was maintained. Altogether, categorical traits with polygenic bases exhibited similar evolutionary dynamics to those determined by supergenes. Our work suggests that supergenes are not the only answer to the puzzle of how discrete polygenic phenotypic variation is maintained.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2033","pages":"20241715"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11479756/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142473135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We then summarized commonly categorized metrics and simulated a dataset to demonstrate the drawbacks of categorization using common variables and realistic examples. We show that categorizing continuous variables is common (31% of publications reviewed). We also underscore that predictor variables can and should be collected and analysed continuously. Finally, we provide recommendations on how to keep variables continuous throughout the entire scientific process. Together, these pieces comprise an actionable guide to increasing statistical power and facilitating large synthesis studies by simply leaving continuous variables alone.

Additive genetic variances and associated heritabilities can vary across environmental conditions, especially for labile phenotypic traits expressed through early life. However, short-term seasonal dynamics of genetic variances are rarely quantified in wild populations, precluding inference on eco-evolutionary outcomes in seasonally dynamic systems. This limitation applies to seasonal migration versus residence, constituting one key trait where rapid microevolution could rescue partially migratory populations from changing seasonal environments. We fitted novel quantitative genetic 'capture-recapture animal models' to multi-generational pedigree and year-round resighting data from 11 cohorts of European shags (Gulosus aristotelis), to estimate season-specific additive genetic variances in liabilities to migrate, and in resulting expression of migration, in juveniles' first autumn and winter. We demonstrate non-negligible genetic variation underlying early-life migration, with twice as large additive genetic variances and heritabilities in autumn than winter. Since early-life survival selection on migration typically occurs in winter, highest genetic variation and strongest selection are seasonally desynchronized.

Advanced collective systems, such as multicellular organisms and social insect colonies, vary in whether they use communication at all and, if they do, in what types of signals they use, but the origins of these differences are poorly understood. Here, we develop a theoretical framework to investigate the evolution and diversity of communication strategies under collective-level selection. We find that whether communication can evolve depends on a collective's external environment: communication only evolves in sufficiently stable environments, where the costs of sensing are high enough to disfavour independent sensing but not so high that the optimal strategy is to ignore the environment altogether. Moreover, we find that the evolution of diverse signalling strategies-including those relying on prolonged signalling (e.g. honeybee waggle dance), persistence of signals in the environment (e.g. ant trail pheromones) and brief but frequent communicative interactions (e.g. ant antennal contacts)-can be explained theoretically in terms of the interplay between the demands of the environment and internal constraints on the signal. Altogether, we provide a general framework for comparing communication strategies found in nature and uncover simple ecological principles that may contribute to their diversity.","PeriodicalId":20589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences","volume":"291 2032","pages":"20241562"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11462452/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142392629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
