TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the most commonly used methods to measure and account for both random and non-random measurement error in geometric morphometrics, providing a worked example using a real dataset.

TL;DR: It is suggested that few genomic regions of large effect contribute to early stage divergence in Midas cichlid sympatric adaptive radiations.

TL;DR: The most commonly used methods to measure and account for both random and non-random measurement error are reviewed, providing a worked example using a real dataset.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether the composition of the gut microbial community of honey bees is affected by the environmental landscape the bees are exposed to and found evidence for an influence of landscape exposure on honey bee microbial community and highlight the potential effect of exposure to different environmental parameters, such as forage type and neonicotinoid pesticides, on key honey bee gut bacteria.

TL;DR: This study identified a total of 187 genes whose expression differs in response to hard and soft diets, including immediate early genes, extracellular matrix genes and inflammatory factors, which opens up new avenues of research at new levels of biological organization into the roles of phenotypic plasticity during speciation and radiation of cichlid fishes.
