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

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
