Molecular mechanisms of adaptive evolution in wild animals and plants
Science China Life Sciences, 2023 Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence.

Microbial adaptive evolution [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021 Bacterial species can adapt to significant changes in their environment by mutation followed by selection, a phenomenon known as “adaptive evolution.” With the development of bioinformatics and genetic engineering, research on adaptive evolution has ...

Genetic Contribution of Paleopolyploidy to Adaptive Evolution in Angiosperms
Molecular Plant, 2020 Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGD or polyploidy) are prevalent in plants, and some WGDs occurred during the timing of severe global environmental changes. It has been suggested that WGDs may have contributed to plant adaptation.

The genomic basis of adaptive evolution in threespine sticklebacks
Nature, 2012 Marine stickleback fish have colonized and adapted to thousands of streams and lakes formed since the last ice age, providing an exceptional opportunity to characterize genomic mechanisms underlying repeated ecological adaptation in nature.

Behavioural variability among captive African elephants in the use of the trunk while feeding [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The Proboscideans, an order of mammals including elephants, are the largest of the Earth lands animals. One probable consequence of the rapid increase of their body size is the development of the trunk, a multitask highly sensitive organ used in a large ...

When will a changing climate outpace adaptive evolution?
WIREs Climate Change, 2023 Decades of research have illuminated the underlying ingredients that determine the scope of evolutionary responses to climate change. The field of evolutionary biology therefore stands ready to take what it has learned about influences upon the rate of ...

The relationship between distal trunk morphology and object grasping in the African savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background During reach-to-grasp movements, the human hand is preshaped depending on the properties of the object. Preshaping may result from learning, morphology, or motor control variability and can confer a selective advantage on that individual or ...

An Atlas of Continuous Adaptive Evolution in Endemic Human Viruses
Cell Host and Microbe, 2023 Through antigenic evolution, viruses like seasonal influenza evade recognition by neutralizing antibodies. This means that a person with antibodies well-tuned to an initial infection will not be protected against the same virus years later and that ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Understanding different facets of biodiversity patterns and their ecological drivers are essential for freshwater conservation. This is especially true for fish fauna in the Mekong River, one of the largest rivers in the world, which faces large-scale ...
