The people's game: evolutionary perspectives on the behavioural neuroscience of football fandom.
Front Psychol
January 2025
Health Service Executive, Portlaoise, Ireland.
Association football (soccer) is the world's most popular sport. Transculturally, fans invest significant resources following their teams, suggesting underlying psychological universals with evolutionary origins. Although evolutionary science can help illuminate the ultimate causes of human behaviour, there have been limited modern evolutionary perspectives on football fandom.

The northern forests of Japan, dominated by and the associated , present a captivating display of spring-flowering ephemerals, including , , , and . Among these, is also considered part of the spring ephemerals.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
January 2025
Institute of Biological Sciences, Federal University of Pará, Belem, Pará, Brazil.
Background: Mosquito-borne diseases have a significant public health threat worldwide, with arboviruses accounting for a high proportion of infectious diseases and mortality annually. Brazil, in particular, has been suffering outbreaks of diseases transmitted by mosquito viruses, notably those of the genus, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Against this background, the São Paulo Zoo is an intriguing ecological niche to explore the virome of mosquitoes, potentially shedding light on the dynamics of arbovirus transmission within a confined setting.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
January 2025
College of Chinese Medicine, Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are foundational to their theoretical, methodological, formulaic, and pharmacological systems, significantly contributing to syndrome differentiation and therapy. The principle of "promoting urination to regulate bowel movements" is a common therapeutic approach in TCM. The core concept is "promoting the dispersion and drainage of water dampness, regulating urination to relieve diarrhea," yet its scientific underpinning remains unclear.

EJHaem
February 2025
Centre International de Recherche en Infectiologie (CIRI, INSERM U1111, CNRS UMR 5308, École Normale supérieure de Lyon) Lymphoma ImmunoBiology team Faculté de Médecine Lyon sud Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 Lyon France.
Background: The normal values of the complete blood count are part of the foundational medical knowledge that is seldom questioned due to their well-established nature. These normal values are critical for optimal physiological function while minimizing the harmful consequences of an excessive number of blood cells. Thus, they represent an evolutionary trade-off likely shaped by natural selection if they significantly influence individual fitness and exhibit heritability.
