A framework to assess evolutionary responses to anthropogenic light and sound
Human activities have caused a near-ubiquitous and evolutionarily-unprecedented increase
in environmental sound levels and artificial night lighting. These stimuli reorganize …

Classification of common human diseases derived from shared genetic and environmental determinants
In this study, we used insurance claims for over one-third of the entire US population to
create a subset of 128,989 families (481,657 unique individuals). We then used these data …

The role of life history traits in mammalian invasion success
Why some organisms become invasive when introduced into novel regions while others fail
to even establish is a fundamental question in ecology. Barriers to success are expected to …

Fast life history traits promote invasion success in amphibians and reptiles
Competing theoretical models make different predictions on which life history strategies
facilitate growth of small populations. While 'fast'strategies allow for rapid increase in …

Cooperation facilitates the colonization of harsh environments
Animals living in harsh environments, where temperatures are hot and rainfall is
unpredictable, are more likely to breed in cooperative groups. As a result, harsh …
