Why Do Female Callosobruchus maculatus Kick Their Mates?

Sexual conflict is now recognised as an important driver of sexual trait evolution. However, due to their variable outcomes and effects on other fitness components, the detection of sexual conflicts on individual traits can be complicated. This difficulty is exemplified in the beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, where longer matings increase the size of nutritious ejaculates but simultaneously red...

Conditioned Galton–Watson trees do not grow

A conditioned Galton–Watson tree is a random rooted tree that is (or has the same distribution as) the family tree of a Galton–Watson process with some given offspring distribution, conditioned on the total number of vertices. We let ξ be a random variable with the given offspring distribution; i.e., the number of offspring of each individual in the Galton–Watson process is a copy of ξ. We let ...

Why you do or do not need thoracoscopy.

Thoracoscopy is an old but still very valuable technique for the evaluation of pleural pathology and, especially for the further investigation of the aetiology of pleural fluid. It remains of great importance, since it is able to not only provide an exact diagnosis, but also can have therapeutic potential. In this review, the differential diagnostic aspects of transudate versus exudate are furt...

How do quasicrystals grow?

Using molecular simulations, we show that the aperiodic growth of quasicrystals is controlled by the ability of the growing quasicrystal nucleus to incorporate kinetically trapped atoms into the solid phase with minimal rearrangement. In the system under investigation, which forms a dodecagonal quasicrystal, we show that this process occurs through the assimilation of stable icosahedral cluster...
