Taxonomic diversity and abundance of enchytraeids (Annelida, Clitellata, Enchytraeida) in the Northern Palaearctic. 1. Asian part [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Enchytraeids, or potworms, are tiny oligochaetes that are distributed worldwide in many terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Despite their key role in the functioning of ecosystems, the diversity and abundance of Enchytraeidae are rarely ...

The transcriptome landscape of the carcinogenic treatment response in the blind mole rat: insights into cancer resistance mechanisms

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Spalax, the blind mole rat, developed an extraordinary cancer resistance during 40 million years of evolution in a subterranean, hypoxic, thus DNA damaging, habitat.

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.

Rapidity evolution of gluon TMD from low to moderate x [PDF]

, 2015
We study how the rapidity evolution of gluon transverse momentum dependent distribution changes from nonlinear evolution at small $x \ll 1$ to linear evolution at moderate $x \sim 1$.Comment: 70 pages, 7 figures, published ...

Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action

, 1993
In 1985, the National Academy of Sciences sponsored a conference in Annapolis, Maryland, to discuss common property resource management. This conference was a watershed in the development of the theoretical underpinning of institutional design for ...

Rapid generation of ecologically relevant behavioral novelty in experimental cichlid hybrids

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The East African cichlid radiations are characterized by repeated and rapid diversification into many distinct species with different ecological specializations and by a history of hybridization events between nonsister species.

Sampling environmental DNA from trees and soil to detect cryptic arboreal mammals

Scientific Reports, 2023
Environmental DNA (eDNA) approaches to monitoring biodiversity in terrestrial environments have largely focused on sampling water bodies, potentially limiting the geographic and taxonomic scope of eDNA investigations.

Evolution in Archaeology [PDF]

, 2008
This review begins with a brief outline of the key concepts of Darwinian archaeology. Its history is then summarized, beginning with its emergence as a significant theoretical focus within the discipline in the early 1980s; its main present-day currents ...

Prebiotic competition and evolution in self-replicating polynucleotides can explain the properties of DNA/RNA in modern living systems

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background We hypothesize prebiotic evolution of self-replicating macro-molecules (Alberts, Molecular biology of the cell, 2015; Orgel, Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol 39:99-123, 2004; Hud, Nat Commun 9:5171) favoured the constituent nucleotides and ...

Speciation and hybridization in invasive fire ants

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background A major focus of evolutionary biology is the formation of reproductive barriers leading to divergence and ultimately, speciation. Often, it is not clear whether the separation of populations is complete or if there still is ongoing gene flow ...
