Conservation evo-devo: preserving biodiversity by understanding its origins [PDF]
, 2017 Unprecedented rates of species extinction increase the urgency for effective conservation biology management practices. Thus, any improvements in practice are vital and we suggest that conservation can be enhanced through recent advances in evolutionary ...

Sex-specific growth arrest in a lizard
iScience, 2022 Summary: (1) In contrast to mammals and birds, reptiles have been considered as indeterminate growers, whose growth reflects differential allocation of resources to growth versus other energetically demanding processes such as reproduction.

The Extended (Evolutionary) Synthesis Debate: Where Science Meets Philosophy [PDF]
, 2014 Recent debates between proponents of the modern evolutionary synthesis (the standard model in evolutionary biology) and those of a possible extended synthesis are a good example of the fascinating tangle among empirical, theoretical, and conceptual or ...

Elements of divergence in germline determination in closely related species
iScience, 2023 Summary: Evolutionary transitions are particularly important in development of the germ line, cells which directly impact sexual reproduction. Differences in the primordial germ cells (PGCs) of two sea urchin species were examined here by stage-matched ...

Directions in Evolutionary Biology [PDF]
Annual Review of Genetics, 2002 [Figure: see text] ▪ Abstract In order to understand both the past and future directions of research in evolutionary biology we need to begin by understanding in what way these programs of research differ from the model of most scientific work. The study of evolutionary processes and, in particular, the genetics of the evolutionary process must ...

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 ...

A de novo evolved gene in the house mouse regulates female pregnancy cycles
eLife, 2019 The de novo emergence of new genes has been well documented through genomic analyses. However, a functional analysis, especially of very young protein-coding genes, is still largely lacking.
