Does #SexualSelection fuel #Speciation?
Our new #meta-analysis of comparative studies finds support for a positive relationship, but the rather moderate global effect suggests it’s not necessarily a dominant force.

Der Meeresboden birgt enorme Reserven an Mangan, Kobalt, Nickel und anderen Mineralien. Bislang gibt es keinen internationalen Konsens, ob und wie deren Abbau erfolgen soll. Fest steht jedoch: Die ökologischen Folgen des Tiefseebergbaus sind gravierend, die Kosten hoch.
