Reaction-diffusion in a growing 3D domain of skin scales generates a discrete cellular automaton

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The adult ocellated lizard skin colour pattern is effectively generated by a stochastic cellular automaton (CA) of skin scales. Here authors use reaction diffusion (RD) numerical simulations in 3D on realistic lizard skin geometries and demonstrate that ...

Chemical Evolution in VeLLOs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A new type of object called "Very Low Luminosity Objects (VeLLOs)" has been discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope. VeLLOs might be substellar objects forming by accretion.

DNA Polymerases Engineered by Directed Evolution to Incorporate Nonstandard Nucleotides

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Evolution: functional evolution of nuclear structure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The evolution of the nucleus, the defining feature of eukaryotic cells, was long shrouded in speculation and mystery. There is now strong evidence that nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and nuclear membranes coevolved with the endomembrane system, and that ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Deconstructing the geography of human impacts on species’ natural distribution

open access: yesNature Communications
It remains unknown how species’ populations across their geographic range are constrained by multiple coincident natural and anthropogenic environmental gradients.

Evolutionary and Expression Analyses Show Co-option of khdrbs Genes for Origin of Vertebrate Brain

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Genes generated by whole genome duplications (WGD) can be co-opted by changing their regulation process or altering their coding proteins, which has been shown contributable to the emergence of vertebrate morphological novelties such as vertebrate ...

Genomic architecture of adaptive radiation and hybridization in Alpine whitefish

open access: yesNature 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.

Systematic errors in orthology inference and their effects on evolutionary analyses

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: The availability of complete sets of genes from many organisms makes it possible to identify genes unique to (or lost from) certain clades. This information is used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees; identify genes involved in the evolution of ...
