Women’s participation in science has risen sharply, but a Nature Index analysis finds that gender gaps in first and last authorship — markers of key scientific achievements — have barely shifted over the past decade.

Historical records across thousands of women showed that mothers with more children had shorter lifespans during a famine, fitting an evolutionary explanation for why we age

We conducted a cross-foster experiment and measured surface body temperatures using thermal imaging throughout the nestling period.

Abstract. When altricial birds hatch, they are unable to regulate their own temperature, but by the time they fledge they are thermally independent. Early-

We find negligible heritability of body temp and strong effects of the natal environment after thermal independence. We also show correlations in body temp between early and mid stages was explained by natal environment effects. Importantly these effects were independent of growth.
