Courtship song differs between African and European populations of Drosophila melanogaster and involves a strong effect locus

open access: yesG3
The courtship song of Drosophila melanogaster has long served as an excellent model system for studies of animal communication and differences in courtship song have been demonstrated among populations and between species.

The quantitative study of marked individuals in ecology, evolution and conservation biology: a foreword to the EURING 2003 Conference

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004
Few fields in modern ecology have developed as fast as the analysis of marked individuals in the study of wild animal populations (Seber & Schwarz, 2002).

Natural selection and evolution: evolving concepts

open access: yesAcademia biology
Many recent studies in evolutionary biology have expanded and refined definitions of biological evolution and natural selection. Current evolutionary models incorporate different adaptive and non-adaptive processes based on molecular genetic changes and ...

The Power to Detect Quantitative Trait Loci Using Resequenced, Experimentally Evolved Populations of Diploid, Sexual Organisms

open access: yesMolecular biology and evolution, 2014
A novel approach for dissecting complex traits is to experimentally evolve laboratory populations under a controlled environment shift, resequence the resulting populations, and identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and/or genomic regions ...

Quantitative Approach for Determining Reproductive Life‐History Strategies of Parasitic Plants: A Case Study in Balanophora

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Parasitic plants are a diverse and unique polyphyletic assemblage of flowering plants that survive by obtaining resources via direct vascular connections to a host plant.

Characterizing Parental Concerns About Lasting Impacts of Treatment in Children With B‐Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background B‐acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, and while most children in high‐resource settings are cured, therapy carries risks for long‐term toxicities. Understanding parents’ concerns about these late effects is essential to guide anticipatory support and inform evolving therapeutic approaches ...

Directional selection effects on patterns of phenotypic (co)variation in wild populations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Phenotypic (co)variation is a prerequisite for evolutionary change, and understanding how (co)variation evolves is of crucial importance to the biological sciences.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Wing shape evolution is not constrained by ancestral genetic covariances in the invasive Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesbioRxiv
The extent to which phenotypic evolution can be constrained by genetic correlations is an important question in evolutionary biology. To address this question, biological invasions are opportune models where derived, invasive populations can be compared ...

Real‐time assay of ribonucleotide reductase activity with a fluorescent RNA aptamer

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) synthesize DNA building blocks de novo, making them crucial in DNA replication and drug targeting. FLARE introduces the first single‐tube real‐time coupled RNR assay, which enables isothermal tracking of RNR activity at nanomolar enzyme levels and allows the reconstruction of allosteric regulatory patterns and rapid ...
