Abstract The evolution of sexually dimorphic ornamentation should reflect sex differences in a form of parental care, incubation behavior, but empirical support is scarce after controlling for phylogenetic inertia. Here, using phylogenetic comparative methods in swallows and martins (Aves: Hirundinidae), we studied the evolution of sexual dimorphism in tail length in relation to two incubation types, female-only and biparental incubation. We found that species with biparental...

Abstract Animals that face natural and human-mediated landscape disturbance processes can demonstrate different modalities of phenotypic variation to influence local population persistence. Differences in the frequency and pervasiveness of environmental variation can cause an individual’s phenotype to demonstrate either directional plasticity (i.e., environmental matching), canalization, or increased trait variance. Furthermore, how important a trait’s influence is on fitness...

Abstract This study aimed to describe longitudinal trajectories of sleep duration, among adolescents and adults from the Pelotas (Brazil) 1993 Birth Cohort, as well as characterize different trajectories groups according to socioeconomic, demographic and behavior characteristics. Sleep duration, hours per day (from Monday to Friday), bedtime and wake‐up time were self‐reported by participants at ages 11, 18 and 22 years. Covariables included socioeconomic, demographic, health and behavior characteristics....

Abstract Slow‐wave sleep is one of the most important restorative components of sleep and central for our health and cognitive functioning. Although the amount of slow‐wave sleep depends on sleep drive, age and other factors, also the pre‐sleep mental state might influence sleep depth. We had shown that a pre‐sleep hypnotic suggestion to sleep more deeply increased slow‐wave sleep duration in hypnotizable subjects. In contrast, low‐hypnotizable participants decreased sleep depth after this intervention....
