Dynamic patterns of adaptive radiation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Adaptive radiation is defined as the evolution of ecological and phenotypic diversity within a rapidly multiplying lineage. When it occurs, adaptive radiation typically follows the colonization of a new environment or the establishment of a “key innovation,” which opens new ecological niches and/or new paths for evolution.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The term terroir is used in viticulture to emphasize how the biotic and abiotic characteristics of a local site influence grape physiology and thus the properties of wine.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

Ordovician rafinesquinine brachiopods from peri-Gondwana [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The study of the strophomenide brachiopods of the subfamily Rafinesquininae present in the main Upper Ordovician sections, representing the Mediterranean margin of Gondwana, has revealed an increase in diversity of the group at the region during that ...

The Special and General Mechanism of Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms
Microorganisms, 2023 Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are longstanding aquatic hazards worldwide, of which the mechanism is not yet fully understood, i.e., the process in which cyanobacteria establish dominance over coexisting algae in the same eutrophic ...

A New Mechanism for Recurrent Adaptive Radiations [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2007 Models of adaptive radiation through intraspecific competition have attracted mounting attention. Here we show how extending such models in a simple manner, by including a quantitative trait under weak directional selection, naturally leads to rich macroevolutionary patterns involving recurrent adaptive radiations and extinctions.

The microbiome in human skin aging
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

LIKELIHOOD OF ANCESTOR STATES IN ADAPTIVE RADIATION [PDF]
Evolution, 1997 Theories of ecological diversification make predictions about the timing and ordering of character state changes through history. These theories are testable by "reconstructing" ancestor states using phylogenetic trees and measurements of contemporary species.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Adaptive Radiation and the Topology of Large Phylogenies [PDF]
Evolution, 1993 The idea that some organisms possess adaptive features that make them more likely to speciate and/or less likely to go extinct than closely related groups, suggests that large phylogenetic trees should be unbalanced (more species should occur in the group possessing the adaptive features than in the sister group lacking such features).
