Building trees by juggling information and following rules: an expert interview study on tree-building and phylogenetic inference
Tree-thinking is a fundamental skill set for understanding evolutionary theory and, thus, part of biological and scientific literacy. Research on...

Measuring restoration likelihood of tall building scapes: physical features and vegetation
The framework proposed in this article has investigated the effects of physical and vegetational features of tall building scapes on restoration...

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals the brain evolution of web-building spiders
Spiders are renowned for their efficient capture of flying insects using intricate aerial webs. How the spider nervous systems evolved to cope with...

Factors Confronting a Shelter-Building Caterpillar at Spring Emergence
Weather often subjects overwintering small invertebrates to heavy losses and forces survivors emerging from the litter to respond quickly to achieve...

Plumage and eggshell colouration covary with the level of sex-specific parental contributions to nest building in birds
Interspecific variation in sex-specific contributions to prenatal parental care, including avian nest building, is becoming increasingly better...

Characterizing urban densification in the city of Wuhan using time-series building information
ContextDensification and outward expansion are two manifestations of urban land-change process. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of urban...

Adding the neuro to cognition: from food storing to nest building
Typically, investigations of animal cognition couple careful experimental manipulations with examination of the animal’s behavioural responses....

Identifying the right building roofs for greening from the perspective of socio-ecological demands in a 3D urban landscape
The multiple benefits of green roofs (GRs) for people and biodiversity conservation in a highly urbanized area are widely confirmed, however, how to...

The Effect of Commercial Building Orientations on Indoor Climate in Tropical Environments: A New Insight on Thermal Comfort Studies
Purpose of ReviewThis work examines the effect of different commercial building orientations on indoor climate in tropical environments. The tropics...

No apparent trade-offs associated with heat tolerance in a reef-building coral
As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and...

Transcription-induced domains form the elementary constraining building blocks of bacterial chromosomes
Transcription generates local topological and mechanical constraints on the DNA fiber, leading to the generation of supercoiled chromosome domains in...

Newly deceased Caribbean reef-building corals experience rapid carbonate loss and colonization by endolithic organisms
Coral mortality triggers the loss of carbonates fixed within coral skeletons, compromising the reef matrix. Here, we estimate rates of carbonate loss...

In vivo observation of lipid droplets in coral calcifying cells: fat stores to fuel the reef-building process?
The calcifying cells of corals are responsible for skeleton formation, a process that is the basis for reef building. Their cell biology is therefore...

Cognitive flexibility in a Tanganyikan bower-building cichlid, Aulonocranus dewindti
Cognitive flexibility, the ability to modify one’s decision rules to adapt to a new situation, has been extensively studied in many species. In fish,...

The use of methanol as a C1 building block
Methanol is a key building block in the chemical industry. In recent years, it has been used as a C1 source in various organic transformations in the...

Building trait datasets: effect of methodological choice on a study of invasion
Trait-based approaches are commonly used to understand ecological phenomena and processes. Trait data are typically gathered by measuring local...
