The evolutionary ecology of interactive synchronism: The illusion of the optimal phenotype [PDF]
, 2017 In this article, we discuss some ecological-evolutionary strategies that allow synchronization of organisms, resources, and conditions. Survival and reproduction require synchronization of life cycles of organisms with favourable environmental ...

Diversity, 2018 The phenotype of organisms is the net result of various evolutionary forces acting upon their lineages over time. When an innovative trait arises that confers a substantial advantage in terms of survival and reproduction, the evolution of adaptive ...

Maladaptive plasticity facilitates evolution of thermal tolerance during an experimental range shift
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Many organisms are responding to climate change with dramatic range shifts, involving plastic and genetic changes to cope with novel climate regimes found at higher latitudes.

Human bony labyrinth is an indicator of population history and dispersal from Africa. [PDF]
, 2018 The dispersal of modern humans from Africa is now well documented with genetic data that track population history, as well as gene flow between populations.

Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background The development of new treatments against schistosomiasis is imperative but lacks commercial interest. Drug repurposing represents a suitable strategy to identify potential treatments, which have already unblocked several essential steps along

Environmental coupling of selection and heritability limits evolution.
PLoS Biology, 2006 There has recently been great interest in applying theoretical quantitative genetic models to empirical studies of evolution in wild populations. However, while classical models assume environmental constancy, most natural populations exist in variable ...

Evolution of Music by Public Choice [PDF]
, 2012 Music evolves as composers, performers, and consumers favor some musical variants over others. To investigate the role of consumer selection, we constructed a Darwinian music engine consisting of a population of short audio loops that sexually reproduce ...

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]
, 2011 Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like ...

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]
, 2020 Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

Artificial neural networks for 3D cell shape recognition from confocal images
, 2020 We present a dual-stage neural network architecture for analyzing fine shape details from microscopy recordings in 3D. The system, tested on red blood cells, uses training data from both healthy donors and patients with a congenital blood disease ...
