Relatives have more similar gut microbiomes than nonrelatives, but the degree to which this
similarity results from shared genotypes versus shared environments has been …

ABSTRACT A key component of microbiome research is understanding the role of host
genetic influence on gut microbial composition. However, it can be difficult to link host …

Numerous reports have documented the occurrence of same-sex sociosexual behaviour

Individuals within species vary considerably in cognitive flexibility but the micro-evolutionary …

Background Mendelian randomization has been previously used to estimate the effects of
binary and ordinal categorical exposures—eg Type 2 diabetes or educational attainment …

Populations often vary in their evolutionary responses to a shared environmental

Ketosis is a metabolic disorder of increasing importance in high-yielding dairy cows, but
accurate population-wide binary health trait recording is difficult to implement. Against this …

How well populations can cope with global warming will often depend on the evolutionary
potential and plasticity of their temperature‐sensitive, fitness‐relevant traits. In Bechstein's …

Various aspects of sociality in mammals (eg, dyadic connectedness) are linked with
