Abstract We put forward a novel class of exotic celestial objects that can be produced through phase transitions occurring in the primordial Universe.These objects appear as bubbles of stellar size Skincare Kit and can be dominated by primordial black holes (PBHs).We report that, due to the processes of Hawking radiation and binary evolution of PBH
Insular organisms often evolve predictable phenotypes, like flightlessness, extreme body sizes, or increased melanin deposition.The evolutionary forces and molecular targets mediating these patterns remain mostly unknown.Here we study the Chestnut-bellied Monarch (Monarcha castaneiventris) from the Solomon Islands, a complex of closely related subs
