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.

Classical Evolution without Evolution
Universe, 2023 The well-known argument of Page and Wootters demonstrates how to “derive" the usual quantum dynamics of a subsystem in a global state which is an eigenstate of the total Hamiltonian. I show how the same argument can be made in classical physics by using a formalism that closely resembles the quantum one.

Evolution of evolution of superbubbles [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1997 AbstractIn the first place, I will summarize the evolution of our picture of the ISM over the past several decades in order to see the importance of superbubbles for ISM structure. In accordance with the progress of observations, the picture of the ISM has dramatically changed from the 1960s.

Evolution is Viral: The Theory of Collective Discontinuous Evolution [PDF]
, 2010 Herein will be discussed the problems associated with the origin of species according to Darwinist processes of individual mutations. We will argue that individual mutations cannot be the driving force of species origination.

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

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.

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.
