Horizontal transfer of BovB and L1 retrotransposons in eukaryotes
Genome Biology, 2018 Background Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences, colloquially known as jumping genes because of their ability to replicate to new genomic locations. TEs can jump between organisms or species when given a vector of transfer, such as a tick

Studies on Biological Development of Hybrid Bees Families
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 It has made a study concerning the biological development of hybrid bee’s families (Italian x Carpathian) comparative with Carpathian bee’s families. The bees were housed in multi-storey hives.

How many generations does it take for phytophages to colonize invasive plants? Mathematical modeling predictions [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетеньNative phytophagous insects are often not adapted to novel chemistry of invasive plants, but over time they begin to adapt and feed on them. We simulated the spread of a mutant allele that enables phytophages to feed on invasive plant as efectively as on

Corncob structures in dental plaque reveal microhabitat taxon specificity
Microbiome, 2022 Background The human mouth is a natural laboratory for studying how bacterial communities differ across habitats. Different bacteria colonize different surfaces in the mouth—teeth, tongue dorsum, and keratinized and non-keratinized epithelia—despite the ...

The biological origin of linguistic diversity [PDF]
, 2012 In contrast with animal communication systems, diversity is characteristic of almost every aspect of human language. Languages variously employ tones, clicks, or manual signs to signal differences in meaning; some languages lack the noun-verb distinction

Laughter, bonding and biological evolution
The European Journal of Humour Research, 2022 This paper combines perspectives from evolutionary biology and linguistics to discuss the early evolution of laughter and the possible role of laughter-like vocalisation as a bonding mechanism in hominins and early human species.

Function-valued traits in evolution [PDF]
, 2013 Many biological characteristics of evolutionary interest are not scalar variables but continuous functions. Given a dataset of function-valued traits generated by evolution, we develop a practical, statistical approach to infer ancestral function-valued ...
