Adaptive Diversification of the Lateral Line System during Cichlid Fish Radiation

open access: yesiScience, 2019
Summary: The mechanosensory lateral line system is used by fishes to sense hydrodynamic stimuli in their environment. It provides information about flow regimes, proximity to substrate, and the presence and identity of prey and predators and represents a

Genome of the lepidopleurid chiton Hanleya hanleyi (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2022
Mollusca is the second most species-rich phylum and includes animals as disparate as octopuses, clams, and chitons. Dozens of molluscan genomes are available, but only one representative of the subphylum Aculifera, the sister taxon to all other molluscs,

Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged.

Improved Genome Assembly and Annotation for the Rock Pigeon (Columba livia)

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
The domestic rock pigeon (Columba livia) is among the most widely distributed and phenotypically diverse avian species. C. livia is broadly studied in ecology, genetics, physiology, behavior, and evolutionary biology, and has recently emerged as a model ...

Fuzzy species limits in Mediterranean gorgonians (Cnidaria, Octocorallia): inferences on speciation processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The study of the interplay between speciation and hybridization is of primary importance in evolutionary biology. Octocorals are ecologically important species whose shallow phylogenetic relationships often remain to be studied. In the Mediterranean Sea,

Metascientific views: Challenge and opportunity for philosophy of biology in practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper I take evolutionary biology as an example to reflect on the role of philosophy and on the transformations that philosophy is constantly stimulated to do in its own approach when dealing with science.

Visualizing connectivity of ecological and evolutionary concepts—An exploration of research on plant species rarity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary factors that influence species rarity has important theoretical and applied implications, yet the reasons why some species are rare while others are common remain unresolved.
