The evolutionary biology of dance without frills [PDF]

, 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

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.

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

Mitochondrial 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 ...

What Has Genomics Taught An Evolutionary Biologist?

Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2023
Genomics, an interdisciplinary field of biology on the structure, function, and evolution of genomes, has revolutionized many subdisciplines of life sciences, including my field of evolutionary biology, by supplying huge data, bringing high-throughput ...

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

, 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 ...

Evolutionary biology and life histories

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 ...

Robust 3D modeling reveals spatiosyntenic properties of animal genomes

iScience, 2023
Summary: Animal genomes are organized into chromosomes that are remarkably conserved in their gene content, forming distinct evolutionary units (synteny).

The emerging structure of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis: where does Evo-Devo fit in? [PDF]

, 2018
The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) debate is gaining ground in contemporary evolutionary biology. In parallel, a number of philosophical standpoints have emerged in an attempt to clarify what exactly is represented by the EES.

Transcriptional effects of a positive feedback circuit in Drosophila melanogaster

BMC 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 ...
