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 ...

Consciousness and evolutionary biology
Animal Sentience, 2016 Reber’s axiom: “Any organism with flexible cell walls, a sensitivity to its surrounds and the capacity for locomotion will possess the biological foundations of mind and consciousness” does not seem to be supported by things we know and the logic of ...

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.

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 ...

The logic of transgenerational inheritance in a nematode worm
iScienceSummary: Epigenetic inheritance of environmentally induced phenotypes across generations has been observed in multiple taxa. However, the dynamics of non-genetic inheritance as a consequence of environmental variability remains poorly understood.
