The Evolutionary Biology of Sex [PDF]

Current Biology, 2006
In 1861, Charles Darwin wrote "We do not even in the least know the final cause of sexuality; why new beings should be produced by the union of the two sexual elements, instead of by a process of parthenogenesis". It was hardly possible to begin to answer this question at that time, in view of the contemporary lack of knowledge of genetics and cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hierarchy Theory of Evolution and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis: Some Epistemic Bridges, Some Conceptual Rifts [PDF]

, 2018
Contemporary evolutionary biology comprises a plural landscape of multiple co-existent conceptual frameworks and strenuous voices that disagree on the nature and scope of evolutionary theory.

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.

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 ...

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.
