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.

Macroparasite Life Histories [PDF]

Current Biology, 2011
Parasites and parasitism is common. Worm macroparasites have evolved life-history traits that allow them to successfully transmit between spatially and temporally separated patches of host resource and to survive within these environments. Macroparasites have common life-history strategies to achieve this, but these general themes are modified in a ...

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 ...

The “Life Histories” of Genes [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2015
Genes do not only originate. Genes have their own life histories. Life histories of genes might differ in the way the genes originate, but also in how fast they become established, and how long they persist in the genome. To understand the diversity of life histories of genes it is necessary to consider genes of various ages as each age group can ...
