Structures of hyperstable ancestral haloalkane dehalogenases show restricted conformational dynamics
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020 Ancestral sequence reconstruction is a powerful method for inferring ancestors of modern enzymes and for studying structure–function relationships of enzymes.

Investigating the phylogenetic history of toxin tolerance in mushroom‐feeding Drosophila
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Understanding how and when key novel adaptations evolved is a central goal of evolutionary biology. Within the immigrans‐tripunctata radiation of Drosophila, many mushroom‐feeding species are tolerant of host toxins, such as cyclopeptides, that are ...

Evolutionary bedfellows: Reconstructing the ancestral state of autotomy and regeneration
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2020 Abstract Some form of regeneration occurs in all lifeforms and extends from single‐cell organisms to humans. The degree to which regenerative ability is distributed across different taxa, however, is harder to ascertain given the potential for phylogenetic constraint or inertia, and adaptive processes to shape this pattern.

The Prediapause Stage of Aedes japonicus japonicus and the Evolution of Embryonic Diapause in Aedini
Insects, 2019 The genus Aedes is well known for its desiccation-resistant eggs, which frequently serve as an overwintering mechanism through diapause. Despite this, relatively little is known about the diapause and overwintering biology of most Aedes species including

Reconstructing the Ancestral Germ Line Methylation State of Young Repeats [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2011 One of the key objectives of comparative genomics is the characterization of the forces that shape genomes over the course of evolution. In the last decades, evidence has been accumulated that for vertebrate genomes also epigenetic modifications have to be considered in this context. Especially, the elevated mutation frequency of 5-methylcytosine (5mC)

Ancestral state reconstruction of morphological characters.
, 2022 Representation of ancestral character state reconstruction for four morphological characters (conchula, acrospheres, basilar muscles, and marginal sphincter). Characters mapped onto the Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis of all-loci. Support values are not

Plant Diversity, 2021 Two varieties of Bouteloua aristidoides have been recognized, the widespread var. aristidoides and the more narrowly distributed var. arizonica. The two varieties differ in inflorescence form even more than that seen between many other closely related ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Platyhelminthes (flatworms) are a diverse invertebrate phylum useful for exploring life-history evolution. Within Platyhelminthes, only two clades develop through a larval stage: free-living polyclads and parasitic neodermatans.
