Morphological evolution and modularity of the caecilian skull

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Caecilians (Gymnophiona) are the least speciose extant lissamphibian order, yet living forms capture approximately 250 million years of evolution since their earliest divergences.

Key Roles of Dipterocarpaceae, Bark Type Diversity and Tree Size in Lowland Rainforests of Northeast Borneo—Using Functional Traits of Lichens to Distinguish Plots of Old Growth and Regenerating Logged Forests

Microorganisms, 2021
Many lowland rainforests in Southeast Asia are severely altered by selective logging and there is a need for rapid assessment methods to identify characteristic communities of old growth forests and to monitor restoration success in regenerating forests.

The SITE-100 Project: Site-Based Biodiversity Genomics for Species Discovery, Community Ecology, and a Global Tree-of-Life

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Most insect communities are composed of evolutionarily diverse lineages, but detailed phylogenetic analyses of whole communities are lacking, in particular in species-rich tropical faunas.

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]

, 2018
Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

Changing home and workplace in Victorian London : the life of Henry Jaques shirtmaker. [PDF]

, 1997
The paper uses unusually rich evidence from a manuscript life history written in 1901 from personal diaries to explore the changing relationship between home and workplace in Victorian London.

The genome sequence of the blue-tailed damselfly, Ischnura elegans (Vander Linden, 1820) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Ischnura elegans (the blue-tailed damselfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Coenagrionidae). The genome sequence is 1,723 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.55%) is scaffolded into 14

Genome-wide transcriptome profiling and spatial expression analyses identify signals and switches of development in tapeworms

EvoDevo, 2018
Background Tapeworms are agents of neglected tropical diseases responsible for significant health problems and economic loss. They also exhibit adaptations to a parasitic lifestyle that confound comparisons of their development with other animals ...

To remain or leave: Dispersal variation and its genetic consequences in benthic freshwater invertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Variation in dispersal capacity may influence population genetic variation and relatedness of freshwater animals thus demonstrating how life‐history traits influence patterns and processes that in turn influence biodiversity. The majority of studies have

Supernumerary teeth observed in a live True’s beaked whale in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Mesoplodont beaked whales are one of the most enigmatic mammalian genera. We document a pod of four beaked whales in the Bay of Biscay breaching and tail slapping alongside a large passenger ferry.

Life History Strategies

, 2016
Life history theory posits organisms face tradeoffs in how they allocate resources to reproduction, parenting, and growth. These patterns of resource allocation can be classified more broadly into life history strategies, which vary on a continuum from fast to slow.
