A novel method for identifying key genes in macroevolution based on deep learning with attention mechanism. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
Macroevolution can be regarded as the result of evolutionary changes of synergistically acting genes. Unfortunately, the importance of these genes in macroevolution is difficult to assess and hence the identification of macroevolutionary key genes is a ...

Conserved wing shape variation across biological scales unveils dialectical relationships between micro- and macroevolution. [PDF]

Commun Biol
Variation enables short-term evolution (microevolution), but its role in long-term evolution (macroevolution) is debated. Here, we analyzed a dataset of Drosophila wing variation across six levels of biological organization to demonstrate that ...

<i>Stolephorus falco</i> sp. nov. (Teleostei, Clupeiformes, Engraulidae), a new anchovy from Sumatra, Indonesia. [PDF]

Zookeys
A new anchovy species, Stolephorus falco sp. nov., is described based on three museum specimens collected from northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Although the new species resembles S. baganensis Delsman, 1931, S. dubiosus Wongratana, 1983, S.

When lingulid brachiopods became infaunal(?) – perspectives from the morphological and anatomical information [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
Morphology usually serves as an effective proxy for functional ecology, and the evaluation of morphological, anatomical, and ecological changes allows for a deeper understanding of the nature of diversification and macroevolution.

Neighbours and relatives: accounting for spatial distribution when testing causal hypotheses in cultural evolution

Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2023
Many important and interesting hypotheses about cultural evolution are evaluated using cross-cultural correlations: if knowing one particular feature of a culture (e.g.

Phylogenetic diversity in conservation: A brief history, critical overview, and challenges to progress

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Species that are evolutionarily distinct have long been valued for their unique and irreplaceable contribution to biodiversity. About 30 years ago, this idea was extended to the concept of phylogenetic diversity (PD): a quantitative, continuous-scale ...

Language endangerment: Using analytical methods from conservation biology to illuminate loss of linguistic diversity

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Language diversity is under threat, with between a third to a half of all languages considered endangered, and predicted rates of loss equivalent to one language per month for the rest of the century.
