A myxozoan genome reveals mosaic evolution in a parasitic cnidarian [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Parasite evolution has been conceptualized as a process of genetic loss and simplification. Contrary to this model, there is evidence of expansion and conservation of gene families related to essential functions of parasitism in some parasite ...

Genome-wide investigation of outer membrane protein families under mosaic evolution in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologySeveral genes in Gram-negative bacteria encoding outer membrane proteins (OMPs) have been reported to show patterns of mosaic evolution featured by a mixture of negative selection and local recombination.

Attention mechanisms and the mosaic evolution of speech [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 There is still no categorical answer for why humans, and no other species, have speech, or why speech is the way it is. Several purely anatomical arguments have been put forward, but they have been shown to be false, biologically implausible, or of ...

Mosaic evolution in an asymmetrically feathered troodontid dinosaur with transitional features [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Troodontids were theropod dinosaurs closely related to birds. Here, Xu and colleagues describe a new, feathered troodontid species,Jianianhualong tengi, dating from the Lower Cretaceous period in China that provides insight into troodontid mosaic ...

Evolution of Tat Retrotransposons Reveals Mosaic Phylogenetic Patterns Among Land Plants [PDF]
PlantsTransposable elements (TEs) are rarely used as phylogenetic markers because of their high copy number, frequent recombination, and potential for horizontal transfer.

The earliest dipodomyine heteromyid in North America and the phylogenetic relationships of geomorph rodents [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Dipodomyine heteromyids (kangaroo rats and mice) are a diverse group of arid-adapted ricochetal rodents of North America. Here, a new genus and species of a large dipodomyine is reported from early Miocene-aged deposits of the John Day Formation in ...
