Background And Objectives: The utilization of telemedicine has increased dramatically since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, we examined studies published within the past five years that investigated the impact of telemedicine on patient satisfaction.
Methods: Four investigators utilized PubMed and Google Scholar to find studies published within the past five years that assessed patient satisfaction with telemedicine in the field of adult primary care, using either the Press Ganey or CAHPS surveys.
Article Synopsis
- The New World warblers (Parulidae) are explored using ultraconserved elements (UCEs) to create a detailed species-level phylogeny.
- Despite challenges in obtaining high-quality tissue samples, researchers utilized historical toe pad samples to enhance their datasets, successfully analyzing 108 species.
- The study produced a largely congruent phylogeny with all recognized genera being monophyletic aside from one, and highlights the importance of integrating diverse genomic data for better understanding of evolutionary relationships in this bird family.
Sexual selection is often studied with a focus on female mate choice, wherein females evaluate male signals to select an optimal mate. However, in some systems, males should also make careful decisions about the females they choose to court, particularly when faced with the risk of precopulatory sexual cannibalism. Here, we explore the idea that male jumping spiders () may mitigate this risk by responding to female cues probably associated with female aggression and/or receptivity.

- * Researchers identified different macroevolutionary patterns in various genetic regions, indicating a significant shift in molecular evolution at the K-Pg boundary.
- * Findings suggest that this extinction event influenced not only genetic evolution but also developmental modes, body size, and metabolic processes in early birds, marking a key moment in their evolutionary history.
Environmental gradients have the potential to influence genetic differentiation among populations ultimately leading to allopatric speciation. However, environmental gradients can also facilitate hybridization between closely related taxa. We investigated a putative hybrid zone in western Ecuador, involving two polytypic wren species (Aves: Troglodytidae), and .
