Australian lizards are a diverse group distributed across the continent and inhabiting a wide range of environments. Together, they exhibit a remarkable diversity of reproductive morphologies, physiologies, and behaviours that is broadly representative of vertebrates in general. Many reproductive traits exhibited by Australian lizards have evolved independently in multiple lizard lineages, including sociality, complex signalling and mating systems, viviparity, and temperature-dependent sex determination. Australian lizards are thus outstanding model organisms for testing hypotheses about how r...
On cognitive function, so you don't become stupid by becoming obese. but the genetic aberration that makes you lose control of eating behaviour has an impact on many other functions of your brain. so obesity makes you susceptible to other diseases regardless of your genes, but the gene which makes obesity more likely does affect your intelligence. the researchers then looked at the data from the other direction and asked: does your personality, and specifically your ability to solve problems, tell you anything about how your physical body might develop? and here they found that the better your...

No impact on these diseases, so it is purely the obesity itself that predisposes to the disease. and then we asked the question, what is it, then, that this genetic tendency has an impact on? which part of our biology, which part of our being, is being influenced by this genetic score for obesity? and, indeed, we showed that the greater your genetic tendency to become obese is, the worse you perform on all kinds of tests of cognitive function. your verbal iq is less, your performance iq is less, your trail—making test is worse, your education is less. obesity itself has no impact on cognitiv...
