Ecology and Evolutionary Biology of Arabidopsis [PDF]
The Arabidopsis Book, 2002 Arabidopsis thaliana is now widely used as a model system in molecular and developmental biology, as well as in physiology and cell biology. However, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have turned their attention to the mouse ear cress only much more recently and almost reluctantly. The reason for this is the perception that A.

The use of telomere length in ecology and evolutionary biology [PDF]
Heredity, 2010 The measurement of telomere length (TL) is a genetic tool that is beginning to be employed widely in ecological and evolutionary studies as marker of age and fitness. The adoption of this approach has been accelerated by the development of telomere quantitative PCR, which enables the screening of large numbers of samples with little effort.

Evolutionary biology, community ecology and avian influenza research
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2009 The epidemiology of H5N1 HPAI is still unclear despite the efforts of the research community. Studies bringing new insights add more variability in the host-pathogen system and uncertainty in the prediction of local risks. Global analyses of the pathways of wild birds in parallel with virus outbreaks have brought limited conclusions once the raw ...

Zebras of all stripes repel biting flies at close range
Scientific Reports, 2022 The best-supported hypothesis for why zebras have stripes is that stripes repel biting flies. While this effect is well-established, the mechanism behind it remains elusive.

EvoDevo, 2023 The vertebrate head skeleton has evolved a myriad of forms since their divergence from invertebrate chordates. The connection between novel gene expression and cell types is therefore of importance in this process.

BMC Biology, 2020 Background Repetitive DNA sequences, including transposable elements (TEs) and tandemly repeated satellite DNA (satDNAs), collectively called the “repeatome”, are found in high proportion in organisms across the Tree of Life.
