Colony size as the main driver of the evolution of song diversity and composition in weaverbirds by Harscouet-Commecy, Erwan, Adenot, Tohi, Thetiot, Alexandre, Bresciani, Nel, Oschadleus, Hans-Dieter, Covas, Rita, Rybak, Fanny, Doutrelant, Claire

“…Using comparative and path analyses we find that, as expected, species living in larger colonies present greater song diversity and had similar song composition. However, contrary to expectations, polygamous species do not present higher song diversity, nor more similar acoustic composition than monogamous species. …”

Changes in Trunk, but Not Limb, Lean Body Mass Contribute to Variability in Metabolic Adaptation Following Weight Loss by C. Martins, B. A. Gower, G. R. Hunter

“…ABSTRACT Background Metabolic adaptation (MA) in response to weight loss is highly variable. Several methodological issues are likely to contribute to the large inter‐individual variability in MA, namely the lack of adjustment for changes in the composition of fat‐free mass. …”

Biochar reduces early-stage mineralization rates of plant residues more in coarse-textured soils than in fine-textured soils – an artificial-soil approach by T. M. Inagaki, S. Weldon, F. B. Bucka, F. B. Bucka, E. Farkas, D. P. Rasse

“…<p>Quantifying the impact of biochar on carbon persistence across soil textures is complex, owing to the variability in soil conditions. Using artificial soils with precise textural and mineral compositions, we can disentangle the effects of biochar from the effects of soil particle size. …”
