Evolutionary Biology for the 21st Century [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2013
New theoretical and conceptual frameworks are required for evolutionary biology to capitalize on the wealth of data now becoming available from the study of genomes, phenotypes, and organisms - including humans - in their natural environments.

Evolutionary robotics as a modelling tool in evolutionary biology [PDF]

Frontiers in Robotics and AI
The use of evolutionary robotic systems to model aspects of evolutionary biology is well-established. Yet, few studies have asked the question, “What kind of model is an evolutionary robotic system?” This paper seeks to address that question in several ...

Evolutionary Biology Needs Wild Microbiomes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The microbiome is a vital component to the evolution of a host and much of what we know about the microbiome derives from studies on humans and captive animals.

Evolutionary biology and life histories [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007
The demographic processes that drive the spread of populations through environments and in turn determine the abundance of organisms are the same demographic processes that drive the spread of genes through populations and in turn determine gene ...

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, 2015
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

Ultrastructure of the lamprey head mesoderm reveals evolution of the vertebrate head

iScience, 2023
Summary: The cranial muscle is a critical component in the vertebrate head for a predatory lifestyle. However, its evolutionary origin and possible segmental nature during embryogenesis have been controversial.

Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analyses in ecology and evolutionary biology: a PRISMA extension

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2021
Since the early 1990s, ecologists and evolutionary biologists have aggregated primary research using meta‐analytic methods to understand ecological and evolutionary phenomena.

Phototransduction in a marine sponge provides insights into the origin of animal vision

iScience, 2022
Summary: Most organisms respond to light. Here, we investigate the origin of metazoan phototransduction by comparing well-characterized opsin-based photosystems in neural animals with those in the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica.
