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 ...

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.

Mosaic evolution and the pattern of transitions in the hominin lineage [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Humans are uniquely unique, in terms of the extreme differences between them and other living organisms, and the impact they are having on the biosphere. The evolution of humans can be seen, as has been proposed, as one of the major transitions in evolution, on a par with the origins of multicellular organisms or the eukaryotic ...

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 ...

Uncovering the mosaic evolution of the carnivoran skeletal system. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2023 The diversity of vertebrate skeletons is often attributed to adaptations to distinct ecological factors such as diet, locomotion, and sensory environment. Although the adaptive evolution of skull, appendicular skeleton, and vertebral column is well studied in vertebrates, comprehensive investigations of all skeletal components simultaneously are rarely

Mosaic Evolution of the Phosphopantothenate Biosynthesis Pathway in Bacteria and Archaea. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2021 Abstract Phosphopantothenate is a precursor to synthesis of coenzyme A, a molecule essential to many metabolic pathways. Organisms of the archaeal phyla were shown to utilize a different phosphopantothenate biosynthetic pathway from the eukaryotic and bacterial one.

Developmental origins of mosaic evolution in the avian cranium. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Studies reconstructing morphological evolution have long relied on simple representations of organismal form or on limited sampling of species, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the factors shaping biological diversity.

Spatial mosaic evolution of snail defensive traits [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Recent models suggest that escalating reciprocal selection among antagonistically interacting species is predicted to occur in areas of higher resource productivity.
