Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 2105-2124, December 2025.Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionEndosymbiotic organelles, such as mitochondria and plastids, contain own remnant genomes (nucleoids), whose variable abundance in cells may be adaptive to the physiological necessities and functions of the cells.

Which phylogenetic networks are merely trees with additional arcs? [PDF]
, 2015 A binary phylogenetic network may or may not be obtainable from a tree by the addition of directed edges (arcs) between tree arcs. Here, we establish a precise and easily tested criterion (based on `2-SAT') that efficiently determines whether or not any ...

Endosymbiosis and Eukaryotic Cell Evolution [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Understanding the evolution of eukaryotic cellular complexity is one of the grand challenges of modern biology. It has now been firmly established that mitochondria and plastids, the classical membrane-bound organelles of eukaryotic cells, evolved from bacteria by endosymbiosis.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Introductory biology courses use the hierarchy of life as an organizing framework but rarely teach how and why it evolved. We propose incorporating ETI theory into college curricula to address this gap, demonstrating how groups of cooperating individuals became new evolutionary units that make up the hierarchy of life.

THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]
, 1982 Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.

Finding the Core-Genes of Chloroplasts
, 2014 Due to the recent evolution of sequencing techniques, the number of available genomes is rising steadily, leading to the possibility to make large scale genomic comparison between sets of close species.

Plastid establishment did not require a chlamydial partner [PDF]
, 2015 Primary plastids descend from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont of an ancient eukaryotic host, but the initial selective drivers that stabilized the association between these two cells are still unclear.

Endosymbiosis: Bacteria Sharing the Load [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 A nested set of bacterial endosymbionts within mealybug cells collectively provides amino acids to their host, but their genomes show that some pathways are distributed between both endosymbionts, while other essential proteins are missing altogether.
