Successful feeding and escape behaviors in fishes emerge from precise integration of
locomotion and feeding movements. Fishes inhabit a wide range of habitats, including still …

Speciation is a multifaceted process that involves numerous aspects of the biological
sciences and occurs for multiple reasons. Ecology plays a major role, including both abiotic …

Many morphological, behavioral, physiological, and life-history traits covary across the
biological scales of individuals, populations, and species. However, the processes that …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated that the clear morphological differences
among vertebrae across the presacral column are accompanied by heterogeneous …

In biology, molecular terms with the suffix “-omics” refer to disciplines aiming at the collective
characterization of pools of molecules derived from different layers (DNA, RNA, proteins …

Plants are complex systems hierarchically organized and composed of various cell types. To
understand the molecular underpinnings of complex plant systems, single-cell RNA …

Suction-feeding fishes exhibit diverse prey-capture strategies that vary in their relative use of
suction and predator approach (ram), which is often referred to as the ram–suction …

Most predators rely on capturing prey for survival, yet failure is common. Failure is often
attributed to prey evasion, but predator miscalculation and/or inaccuracy may also drive an …

The evolution of complex morphological structures can be characterized by the interplay
between different anatomical regions evolving under functional integration in response to …

Identifying traits that underlie variation in individual performance of consumers (ie, trait
utility) can help reveal the ecological causes of population divergence and the subsequent …
