Mashup Score: 79Move less, spend more: the metabolic demands of short walking bouts | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 17 day(s) ago
The metabolic cost of steady-state walking is well known; however, across legged animals, most walking bouts are too short to reach steady state. Here, we investigate how bout duration affects the metabolic cost of human walking with varying mechanical …

Mashup Score: 4
Disadvantageous inequity aversion (IA), a negative response to receiving less than others, is a key building block of the human sense of fairness. While some theorize that IA is shared by species across the animal kingdom, others argue that it is an …

Mashup Score: 29Day-to-day associations between testosterone, sexual desire and courtship efforts in young men | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 2 month(s) ago
Testosterone plays important roles in reproductive behaviour in many species. Despite a common belief that testosterone regulates fluctuations in human sexual desire, there is little direct evidence that relates within-person changes in natural …

Mashup Score: 4Increased threat learning after social isolation in human adolescents | Royal Society Open Science - 2 month(s) ago
In animal models, social isolation impacts threat responding and threat learning, especially during development. This study examined the effects of acute social isolation on threat learning in human adolescents using an experimental, within-participant …

Mashup Score: 66Habitat fragmentation, biodiversity loss and the risk of novel infectious disease emergence | Journal of The Royal Society Interface - 5 month(s) ago
The number of microbes on Earth may be 1030, exceeding all other diversity. A small number of these can infect people and cause disease. The diversity of parasitic organisms likely correlates with the hosts they live in and the number mammal hosts for …

Mashup Score: 13A knowledge curse: how knowledge can reduce human welfare | Royal Society Open Science - 5 month(s) ago
Greater knowledge is always an advantage for a rational individual. However, this article shows that for a group of rational individuals greater knowledge can backfire, leading to a worse outcome for all. Surprisingly, this can happen even when new …

Mashup Score: 36Do large language models have a legal duty to tell the truth? | Royal Society Open Science - 5 month(s) ago
Careless speech is a new type of harm created by large language models (LLM) that poses cumulative, long-term risks to science, education and shared social truth in democratic societies. LLMs produce responses that are plausible, helpful and confident, …

Mashup Score: 0Evolution: like any other science it is predictable | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - 6 month(s) ago
Evolutionary biology rejoices in the diversity of life, but this comes at a cost: other than working in the common framework of neo-Darwinian evolution, specialists in, for example, diatoms and mammals have little to say to each other. Accordingly, their …

Mashup Score: 1Top-down models in biology: explanation and control of complex living systems above the molecular level | Journal of The Royal Society Interface - 6 month(s) ago
It is widely assumed in developmental biology and bioengineering that optimal understanding and control of complex living systems follows from models of molecular events. The success of reductionism has overshadowed attempts at top-down models and control …
