The evolution and population diversity of human-specific segmental duplications [PDF]
, 2017 Segmental duplications contribute to human evolution, adaptation and genomic instability but are often poorly characterized. We investigate the evolution, genetic variation and coding potential of human-specific segmental duplications (HSDs). We identify

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

The cultural evolution of cultural evolution [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2020 Abstract What makes fast, cumulative cultural evolution work? Where did it come from? Why is it the sole preserve of humans? We set out a self-assembly hypothesis: cultural evolution evolved culturally. We present an evolutionary account that shows this hypothesis to be coherent, plausible, and worthy of further investigation.

Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations
Nature 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
BMC 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.

The evolution of deception [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Deception plays a critical role in the dissemination of information, and has important consequences on the functioning of cultural, market-based and democratic institutions. Deception has been widely studied within the fields of philosophy, psychology, economics and political science.

Threespine Stickleback in Lake Constance: The Ecology and Genomic Substrate of a Recent Invasion
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Invasive species can be powerful models for studying contemporary evolution in natural environments. As invading organisms often encounter new habitats during colonization, they will experience novel selection pressures.
