The fruticose genera in the Ramalinaceae (Ascomycota, Lecanoromycetes): their diversity and evolutionary history [PDF]

open access: yesMycoKeys, 2020
We present phylogenetic analyses of the fruticose Ramalinaceae based on extensive collections from many parts of the world, with a special focus on the Vizcaíno deserts in north-western Mexico and the coastal desert in Namibia.

Mutually stabilizing interactions between proto-peptides and RNA

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Cooperative relationships are widespread among different classes of biopolymers and are predicted to have existed during emergence of life. This study shows that proto-peptides engage in mutually stabilizing interactions with RNA, providing support for ...

Natural variation in the maternal and zygotic mRNA complements of the early embryo in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2022
Background Maternal gene products supplied to the egg during oogenesis drive the earliest events of development in all metazoans. After the initial stages of embryogenesis, maternal transcripts are degraded as zygotic transcription is activated; this is ...

Experiment in semi-natural conditions did not confirm the influence of malaria infection on bird attractiveness to mosquitoes

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Changes in host phenotype following parasite infection are often considered as host manipulation when they seem advantageous for the parasite.

The metabolic network of the last bacterial common ancestor

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Joana C. Xavier, Rebecca E. Gerhards and colleagues reconstruct the habitat and lifestyle of the last bacterial common ancestor (LBCA) through the construction of the metabolic network and gene tree analysis of 146 LCBA protein families.

The role of plants in the formation of species-specific features in grass flies (Diptera, Chloropidae, Meromyza) [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2021
In the current manuscript, we present the results of comparative analysis of seven species of Meromyza flies in the “variegata” cluster and of the evolutionary close species M. inornata, based the following criteria: 1) 14 external key features; 2) shape

Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Cichlids underwent a rapid diversification in the Lake Victoria region, expanding to more than 700 species within 150,000 years. Here, Meier and colleagues show that an ancient hybridization between two divergent cichlid lineages generated high genetic ...

Phylogenetic mapping of scale nanostructure diversity in snakes

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Many species of snakes exhibit epidermal surface nanostructures that form complex motifs conferring self-cleaning properties, and sometimes structural iridescence, to their skin.
