Evidence increasingly suggests that ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk are partly mediated by adipose tissue biology, which refers to the regional distribution of adipose tissue and its ...

A new study combining records of climate change during the last 3.5 million years with fossil evidence of mammals in Africa reveals that times of erratic climate change are not followed by major ...

Tropical waters are not as thermally stable as once thought. Ocean waters vary widely in temperature over space and time, but the spatial and temporal resolution of remotely sensed sea surface ...

The niche variation hypothesis predicts greater morphological variability in populations occupying wide ecological niches than in those occupying narrow ones. Island populations of carnivores are ...

This article has presented a novel hypothesis regarding ethnic genetic variability in adipose tissue biology. Population variability in adiposity may therefore be due to (i) genetic factors underlying ...

A new study combining climate data with fossil records of large mammals that lived across Africa during the last 4 million years casts doubt on a long-standing hypothesis that repeated shifts in ...
