Ancestral State Reconstruction for Dendroctonus Bark Beetles: Evolution of a Tree Killer [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2012
While most bark beetles attack only dead or weakened trees, many species in the genus Dendroctonus have the ability to kill healthy conifers through mass attack of the host tree, and can exhibit devastating outbreaks. Other species in this group are able to successfully colonize trees in small numbers without killing the host.

Partial hearing recovery after cochlear nerve surface transplantation of hair follicle‐derived neural crest stem cells in neural hearing loss rat

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study comprises three experimental parts. Part 1. Time‐course of ouabain‐induced hearing loss. Rats received ouabain (10 mM) via round window application. ABR/DPOAE tests and histological analyses were performed at 2, 7, and 30 days post‐treatment to characterize SGN and glial cell degeneration. Part 2.

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Ancient hybridization and phylogenetic discordance: Exploring evolutionary complexity in Asteraceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Conflicting phylogenetic signals are common in plant phylogenomics and often reflect evolutionary histories shaped by processes like hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting, and whole‐genome duplication (WGD). We aimed to identify and assess these complex processes in the hyper‐diverse family Asteraceae to offer insight into the ...

Assessing the accuracy of ancestral protein reconstruction methods.

, 2006
The phylogenetic inference of ancestral protein sequences is a powerful technique for the study of molecular evolution, but any conclusions drawn from such studies are only as good as the accuracy of the reconstruction method.

Evolution of erythrocyte morphology in amphibians (Amphibia: Anura)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2015
We compared the morphology of the erythrocytes of five anurans, two toad species - Bufo gargarizans (Cantor, 1842) and Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Schneider, 1799) and three frog species - Fejervarya limnocharis (Gravenhorst, 1829), Microhyla ornata ...

HybSuite: An integrated pipeline for hybrid capture phylogenomics from reads to trees

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Hybrid capture sequencing (Hyb‐Seq) is a widely used approach in phylogenomics, providing efficient access to targeted genomic regions. However, deriving high‐quality phylogenetic trees from raw sequencing reads requires extensive bioinformatics processing, which increases complexity, the risk of errors, and challenges in file ...

Ancestral state reconstruction batch, tree and output files from BayesTraits

, 2014
Ancestral state reconstruction batch, tree and output files from BayesTraits. Output files have been modified for viewing in Tracer 1.5, so that all settings and inputs for each run are approximately halfway down the file.

Differential Genome Size and Repetitive DNA Evolution in Diploid Species of Melampodium sect. Melampodium (Asteraceae)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Plant genomes vary greatly in composition and size mainly due to the diversity of repetitive DNAs and the inherent propensity for their amplification and removal from the host genome.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
