A new species of Giardia Künstler, 1882 (Sarcomastigophora: Hexamitidae) in hamsters
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Giardia spp. are flagellated protozoan parasites that infect humans and many other vertebrates worldwide. Currently seven species of Giardia are considered valid. Results Here, we report a new species, Giardia cricetidarum n. sp.

Antigenic and genetic evolution of contemporary swine H1 influenza viruses in the United States [PDF]
, 2018 Several lineages of influenza A viruses (IAV) currently circulate in North American pigs. Genetic diversity is further increased by transmission of IAV between swine and humans and subsequent evolution.

Genetic Recombination and Molecular Evolution [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2009 Reduced rates of genetic recombination are often associated with reduced genetic variability and levels of adaptation. Several different evolutionary processes, collectively known as Hill-Robertson (HR) effects, have been proposed as causes of these correlates of recombination.

Annotating long intergenic non-coding RNAs under artificial selection during chicken domestication
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Numerous biological functions of long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been identified. However, the contribution of lincRNAs to the domestication process has remained elusive.

Evolution of Genetic Potential
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 Organisms employ a multitude of strategies to cope with the dynamical environments in which they live. Homeostasis and physiological plasticity buffer changes within the lifetime of an organism, while stochastic developmental programs and hypermutability track changes on longer time-scales.

The evolution of thermal performance can constrain dispersal during range shifting [PDF]
, 2015 Organisms can cope with changing temperature under climate change by either adapting to the temperature at which they perform best and/or by dispersing to more benign locations.

Biology Direct, 2018 Background It is widely accepted that the last eukaryotic common ancestor and early eukaryotes were intron-rich and intron loss dominated subsequent evolution, thus the presence of only very few introns in some modern eukaryotes must be the consequence ...
