Adaptive radiation therapy [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1997 Adaptive radiation therapy is a closed-loop radiation treatment process where the treatment plan can be modified using a systematic feedback of measurements. Adaptive radiation therapy intends to improve radiation treatment by systematically monitoring treatment variations and incorporating them to re-optimize the treatment plan early on during the ...

Pangenomes as a framework for adaptive radiation, speciation, and adaptation. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Understanding the genomic basis of diversification is a central goal in evolutionary biology. In recent years, the development and use of pangenomes, a genomic representation of multiple individuals within a lineage (a set of related populations, subspecies, ecotypes, or species), has enabled researchers to differentiate ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biological populations may survive lethal environmental stress through evolutionary rescue. The rescued populations typically suffer a reduction in growth performance and harbor very low genetic diversity compared with their parental populations.

Dendrite fragmentation induced by massive-like δ–γ transformation in Fe–C alloys
Nature Communications, 2019 Transitioning from columnar to equiaxed grains is paramount for desired microstructures during steel casting. Here, the authors report a new fragmentation mechanism based on a phase transition at grain boundaries that can contribute to equiaxed grains.

The Role of Photobionts as Drivers of Diversification in an Island Radiation of Lichen-Forming Fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Speciation in oceanic islands has attracted the interest of scientists since the 19th century. One of the most striking evolutionary phenomena that can be studied in islands is adaptive radiation, that is, when a lineage gives rise to different species ...

Molecular Adaptation during a Rapid Adaptive Radiation [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2013 "Explosive" adaptive radiations on islands remain one of the most puzzling evolutionary phenomena and the evolutionary genetic processes behind such radiations remain unclear. Rapid morphological and ecological evolution during island radiations suggests that many genes may be under fairly strong selection, although this remains untested.

Reed bamboos drive skull shape evolution in bush frogs of the Western Ghats, Peninsular India
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Reed bamboo is a major ecological and economic resource for many animals, including humans. Nonetheless, the influence of this plant's evolutionary role on the morphology of animal species remains unexplored.

Polygenic adaptation from standing genetic variation allows rapid ecotype formation
eLife, 2023 Adaptive ecotype formation can be the first step to speciation, but the genetic underpinnings of this process are poorly understood. Marine midges of the genus Clunio (Diptera) have recolonized Northern European shore areas after the last glaciation.
