A biochemical approach to the problem of aging: "megaproject" on membrane-penetrating ions. The first results and prospects.
TL;DR: In mice, SkQ1 decelerates the development of three types of accelerated aging (progeria) and also of normal aging, and this effect is especially demonstrative at early stages of aging.

Nest site limitation and facultative polygyny in the ant Leptothorax longispinosus
TL;DR: Although numbers of adult ants changed with addition of nest sites, the numbers of immatures were no different after 2 years, suggesting that the population was undergoing growth to expand into the additional sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary Ecology of Prokaryotic Immune Mechanisms
TL;DR: The short- and long-term costs and benefits of the different resistance strategies and, hence, the ecological conditions that are likely to favor the different strategies alone and in combination are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Altruism in Humans
TL;DR: This interdisciplinary body of research is brought together and the main theories that have been proposed to explain human prosociality are reviewed, with an emphasis on kinship, reciprocity, indirect reciprocities, punishment, and morality.

If players are sparse social dilemmas are too: Importance of percolation for evolution of cooperation
TL;DR: It is found that sparsity may favor the resolution of social dilemmas, especially if the population density is close to the percolation threshold of the underlying graph.

Animal dispersion in relation to social behaviour
TL;DR: Wynne-Edwards has written this interesting and important book as a sequel to his earlier (1962) Animal Dispersion in Relation to Social Behaviour, and reviewing it has proven to be a valuable task for one who normally is only at the periphery of the group selection controversy.
