Animal emergence during Snowball Earths by thermosynthesis in submarine hydrothermal vents [PDF]
, 2009 Darwin already commented on the lateness in the fossil record of the emergence of the animals, calling it a valid argument against his theory of evolution^1^.

Evolution of small prokaryotic genomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 As revealed by genome sequencing, the biology of prokaryotes with reduced genomes is strikingly diverse. These include free-living prokaryotes with ~800 genes as well as endosymbiotic bacteria with as few as ~140 genes.

Plastid origin: who, when and why?
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The origin of plastids is best explained by endosymbiotic theory, which dates back to the early 1900s. Three lines of evidence based on protein import machineries and molecular phylogenies of eukaryote (host) and cyanobacterial (endosymbiont) genes point

Endosymbiosis and biodiversity [PDF]
, 2013 Endosimbioza ima važnu ulogu u postanku i evoluciji eukariotske stanice. Različiti plastidi nastali su nizom endosimbiotskih odnosa te uzrokovali raznolikost u svijetu algi.

Integrating Horizontal Gene Transfer and Common Descent to Depict Evolution and Contrast It with ‘‘Common Design [PDF]
, 2010 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and common descent interact in space and time. Because events of HGT co-occur with phylogenetic evolution, it is difficult to depict evolutionary patterns graphically. Tree-like representations of life’s diversification are

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 The chromalveolate hypothesis presents an attractively simple explanation for the presence of red algal-derived secondary plastids in 5 major eukaryotic lineages: “chromista” phyla, cryptophytes, haptophytes and ochrophytes; and alveolate phyla ...
