Efficient numerosity estimation under limited time. by Joseph A Heng, Michael Woodford, Rafael Polania

“…The ability to rapidly estimate non-symbolic numerical quantities is a well-conserved sense across species with clear evolutionary advantages. However, despite its importance, this sense is surprisingly imprecise and biased, and a formal explanation for this seemingly irrational behavior remains unclear. …”

Accelerated adaptive evolution on a newly formed X chromosome. by Doris Bachtrog, Jeffrey D Jensen, Zhi Zhang

“…Thus, newly formed X chromosomes are not passive players in the evolutionary process of sex chromosome differentiation, but respond adaptively to both their sex-biased transmission and to Y chromosome degeneration, possibly through demasculinization of their gene content and the evolution of dosage compensation.…”

Stellar Population and Energy Feedback in the Supergiant Shell LMC 1 by Guan-Hong Li, Chuan-Jui Li, You-Hua Chu, Po-Sheng Ou, C.-H. Rosie Chen, Konstantin Grishunin, Hsu-Tai Lee

“…We have studied SGS LMC 1 to determine quantitatively whether stellar energy feedback is adequate to power the formation of an SGS. The Gaia EDR3 photometric data of the OB association LH15 inside SGS LMC 1 are used to construct color–magnitude diagrams, and stellar evolutionary tracks and isochrones are used to assess stellar masses and ages. …”
