Holobiont Evolution: Mathematical Model with Vertical vs. Horizontal Microbiome Transmission [PDF]
, 2020 A holobiont is a composite organism consisting of a host together with its microbiome, such as a coral with its zooxanthellae. To explain the often intimate integration between hosts and their microbiomes, some investigators contend that selection ...

Evolution of speech and evolution of language [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016 Speech is the physical signal used to convey spoken language. Because of its physical nature, speech is both easier to compare with other species' behaviors and easier to study in the fossil record than other aspects of language. Here I argue that convergent fossil evidence indicates adaptations for complex vocalizations at least as early as the common

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 ...

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2020 Background The best strategy to control ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) spread in the community is lacking. Methods We developed an individual-based transmission model to evaluate the impact of hand hygiene (HH) improvement and reduction in ...

Genomic architecture of adaptive radiation and hybridization in Alpine whitefish
Nature Communications, 2022 In this genomic study on Alpine whitefish radiations, the authors reveal details on the genetic architecture underlying the repeated eco-morphological diversification and the role of hybridization in the evolution of endemic whitefish species.

Cosmic Chemical Evolution [PDF]
, 1999 Numerical simulations of standard cosmological scenarios have now reached the degree of sophistication required to provide tentative answers to the fundamental question: Where and when were the heavy elements formed? Averaging globally, these simulations

The Evolution of Conventions [PDF]
Econometrica, 1993 Abstract This chapter considers n-person games that are played repeatedly, but by different agents in each period. Players usually choose a myopic best response to a sample of information about what others players have done in the past, but occasionally they make mistakes.

DNA Polymerases Engineered by Directed Evolution to Incorporate Nonstandard Nucleotides
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 DNA polymerases have evolved for billions of years to accept natural nucleoside triphosphate substrates with high fidelity and to exclude closely related structures, such as the analogous ribonucleoside triphosphates. However, polymerases that can accept

BMC Biology, 2023 Background Highly diverse butterfly wing patterns have emerged as a powerful system for understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic variation. While the genetic basis of this pattern variation is being clarified, the precise developmental pathways ...
