Dietary-Driven Gene Expansion. [PDF]
Clin Pharmacol TherGene duplication has been shown to drive molecular evolution, with dietary pressures expanding detoxification genes across species. In humans, CYP2D6 gene duplications enhance alkaloid and drug metabolism, reflecting ancient dietary adaptations. Similarly, tobacco‐feeding aphids amplify CYP6CY3 for nicotine and insecticide resistance, and as recently ...

Insights Into Spatial Orientation and Cognition in Tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae) Under Natural Conditions, With Notes on Possible Ontogenetic Niche Shifts. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...
