Dental functional morphology predicts the scaling of chewing rate in mammals [PDF]
, 2018 How food intake and mastication scale to satisfy the metabolic needs of mammals has been the subject of considerable scientific debate. Existing theory suggests that the negative allometric scaling of metabolic rate with body mass is compensated by a ...

An MRPS12 mutation modifies aminoglycoside sensitivity caused by 12S rRNA mutations
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 Several homoplasmic pathologic mutations in mitochondrial DNA, such as those causing Leber hereditary optic neuropathy or non-syndromic hearing loss, show incomplete penetrance. Therefore, other elements must modify their pathogenicity.

The evolution of bitter taste receptor gene in primates: Gene duplication and selection
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Bitter taste perception plays an important role in preventing animals from digesting poisonous and harmful substances. In primates, especially the Cercopithecidae species, most species feed on plants; thus, it is reasonable to speculate that most of the ...
