Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2019 Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. The fact that we need annual flu vaccines is one example of observable evolution. At the same time, evolutionary theory explains more than observations, as the succession on the fossil record.

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 ...

The evolution of concerted evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998 Concerted evolution is a consequence of processes that convert copies of a gene in a multigene family into the same copy. Here we ask whether this homogenization may be adaptive.

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 ...

BMC Biology, 2023 Background Gene duplication events are critical for the evolution of new gene functions. Aristaless is a major regulator of distinct developmental processes. It is most known for its role during appendage development across animals.

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.

Binary evolution using the theory of osculating orbits: conservative Algol evolution [PDF]
, 2014 Our aim is to calculate the evolution of Algol binaries within the framework of the osculating orbital theory, which considers the perturbing forces acting on the orbit of each star arising from mass exchange via Roche lobe overflow (RLOF). The scheme is

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 ...

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

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 ...
