Common and unique strategies of myoglobin evolution for deep-sea adaptation of diving mammals

iScience, 2021
Summary: Myoglobin (Mb) is highly concentrated in the myocytes of diving mammals such as whales and seals, in comparison with land animals, and its molecular evolution has played a crucial role in their deep-sea adaptation.

The conceptual structure of evolutionary biology: A framework from phenotypic plasticity [PDF]

, 2018
In this review, I approach the role of phenotypic plasticity as a key aspect of the conceptual framework of evolutionary biology. The concept of phenotypic plasticity is related to other relevant concepts of contemporary research in ...

Evaluating the maintenance of disease-associated variation at the blood group-related gene B4galnt2 in house mice

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Background B4galnt2 is a blood group-related glycosyltransferase that displays cis-regulatory variation for its tissue-specific expression patterns in house mice. The wild type allele, found e.g.

Opposing effects of plant traits on diversification

iScience, 2023
Summary: Species diversity can vary dramatically across lineages due to differences in speciation and extinction rates. Here, we explore the effects of several plant traits on diversification, finding that most traits have opposing effects on ...
