The persistent homology of mitochondrial ATP synthases

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

The evolutionary biology of poxviruses [PDF]

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2010
The poxviruses (family Poxviridae) are a family of double-stranded viruses including several species that infect humans and their domestic animals, most notably Variola virus (VARV), the causative agent of smallpox. The evolutionary biology of these viruses poses numerous questions, for which we have only partial answers at present.

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.

Life-history theory in psychology and evolutionary biology: one research programme or two?

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020
The term ‘life-history theory’ (LHT) is increasingly often invoked in psychology, as a framework for integrating understanding of psychological traits into a broader evolutionary context.

Comparative analysis of morabine grasshopper genomes reveals highly abundant transposable elements and rapidly proliferating satellite DNA repeats

BMC Biology, 2020
Background Repetitive DNA sequences, including transposable elements (TEs) and tandemly repeated satellite DNA (satDNAs), collectively called the “repeatome”, are found in high proportion in organisms across the Tree of Life.

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 ...

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.

Evolution of Generalists by Phenotypic Plasticity

iScience, 2020
Summary: Adapting organisms face a tension between specializing their phenotypes for certain ecological tasks and developing generalist strategies that permit persistence in multiple environmental conditions.

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 ...
