Depth and substratum differentiations among coexisting herbivorous cichlids in Lake Tanganyika [PDF]
Cichlid fish in Lake Tanganyika represent a system of adaptive radiation in which eight ancestral lineages have diversified into hundreds of species through adaptation to various niches. However, Tanganyikan cichlids have been thought to be oversaturated,

The Cambrian Explosion: macroevolution and biomineralization
Recent advances in our understanding of the Cambrian evolutionary diversification event (Cambrian Explosion) show that, although eumetazoan stem taxa were present in the late Proterozoic, a tremendous burst of macroevolutionary change occurred near the ...

Competition among small individuals hinders adaptive radiation despite ecological opportunity. [PDF]
Ontogenetic diet shifts, where individuals change their resource use during development, are the rule rather than the exception in the animal world.

Niche Occupation Limits Adaptive Radiation in Experimental Microcosms [PDF]
Adaptive radiations have played a key role in the evolution of biological diversity. The breadth of adaptive radiation in an invading lineage is likely to be influenced by the availability of ecological niches, which will be determined to some extent by ...

Evolutionary Significance of Equinae From the Mexican Neogene
North American Equinae integrates a monophyletic clade that consists of about 20 genera and 80 species. This group includes horses with hypsodont cheek teeth belonging to the merychippines and the tribes Hipparionini, Protohippini, and Equini.

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.

An adaptive response results in a reduced effect of a high challenging dose of a stressor after a smaller, inducing dose has been applied a few hours earlier. Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF) cells did not show an adaptive response, i.e.

Adaptive mesh refinement computation of acoustic radiation from an engine intake [PDF]
A block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) method was applied to the computational problem of acoustic radiation from an aeroengine intake. The aim is to improve the computational and storage efficiency in aeroengine noise prediction through ...
