Complete mitochondrial genomes provide current refined phylogenomic hypotheses for relationships among ten Hirundo species

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Hirundo is the most species-rich genus of the passerine swallow family (Hirundinidae) and has a cosmopolitan distribution. Here we report the complete, annotated mitochondrial genomes for 25 individuals from 10 of the 14 extant Hirundo species; these ...

Towards a quantum evolutionary scheme: violating Bell's inequalities in language [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We show the presence of genuine quantum structures in human language. The neo-Darwinian evolutionary scheme is founded on a probability structure that satisfies the Kolmogorovian axioms, and as a consequence cannot incorporate quantum-like evolutionary ...

Neofunctionalization of ciliary BBS proteins to nuclear roles is likely a frequent innovation across eukaryotes

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: The eukaryotic BBSome is a transport complex within cilia and assembled by chaperonin-like BBS proteins. Recent work indicates nuclear functions for BBS proteins in mammals, but it is unclear how common these are in extant proteins or when they ...

The relationship between evolutionary biology and religion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Belief in creationism and intelligent design is widespread and gaining in significance in a number of countries. This article examines the characteristics of science and of religions and the possible relationship between science and religion.

Transcriptional effects of a positive feedback circuit in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Synthetic systems that use positive feedback have been developed to control human disease vectors and crop pests. The tTAV system, which has been deployed in several insect species, relies on a positive feedback circuit that can be inhibited ...

The evolutionary biology of dance without frills [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Recently psychologists have taken up the question of whether dance is reliant on unique human adaptations, or whether it is rooted in neural and cognitive mechanisms shared with other species 1, 2. In its full cultural complexity, human dance clearly has

FishPIE: A universal phylogenetically informative exon markers set for ray-finned fishes

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Understanding the evolutionary history of the highly diverse ray-finned fishes has been challenging, and the development of more universal primers for phylogenetic analyses may help overcoming these challenges. We developed FishPIE, a nested PCR

Resynthesizing Evolutionary and Developmental Biology [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Biology, 1996
A new and more robust evolutionary synthesis is emerging that attempts to explain macroevolution as well as microevolutionary events. This new synthesis emphasizes three morphological areas of biology that had been marginalized by the Modern Synthesis of genetics and evolution: embryology, macroevolution, and homology.

Assumption 0 analysis: comparative phylogenetic studies in the age of complexity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Darwin's panoramic view of biology encompassed two metaphors: the phylogenetic tree, pointing to relatively linear (and divergent) complexity, and the tangled bank, pointing to reticulated (and convergent) complexity.

The persistent homology of mitochondrial ATP synthases

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Relatively little is known about ATP synthase structure in protists, and the investigated ones exhibit divergent structures distinct from yeast or animals.
