Characterization of the BspA and Pmp protein family of trichomonads
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background Trichomonas vaginalis is a human-infecting trichomonad and as such the best studied and the only for which the full genome sequence is available considering its parasitic lifestyle, T.

Fecundity determines the outcome of founding queen associations in ants
Scientific Reports, 2021 Animal cooperation evolved because of its benefits to the cooperators. Pleometrosis in ants—the cooperation of queens to found a colony—benefits colony growth, but also incurs costs for some of the cooperators because only one queen usually survives the ...

The Dynamics of Molecular Evolution Over 60,000 Generations
Nature, 2017 The outcomes of evolution are determined by a stochastic dynamical process that governs how mutations arise and spread through a population. However, it is difficult to observe these dynamics directly over long periods and across entire genomes.

Molecular evolution of olfactomedin [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1998 Olfactomedin is a secreted polymeric glycoprotein of unknown function, originally discovered at the mucociliary surface of the amphibian olfactory neuroepithelium and subsequently found throughout the mammalian brain. As a first step toward elucidating the function of olfactomedin, its phylogenetic history was examined to identify conserved structural ...

Experimental increase of worker diversity benefits brood production in ants
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background The reproductive division of labor of eusocial insects, whereby one or several queens monopolize reproduction, evolved in a context of high genetic relatedness.
