Structural and evolutionary features of red algal UV sex chromosomes

Genome Biology
Background Sex chromosomes in red algae have remained relatively understudied, despite their fundamental role in understanding the evolution of sex determination across eukaryotes.

Parallel changes in gut microbiome composition and function in parallel local adaptation and speciation [PDF]

, 2019
The processes of local adaptation and ecological speciation are often strongly shaped by biotic interactions such as competition and predation. One of the strongest lines of evidence that biotic interactions drive evolution comes from repeated divergence

Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction: Metal Integration Principles, Strategies and Functions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.

Specialization on Ficus Supported by Genetic Divergence and Morphometrics in Sympatric Host-Populations of the Camellia Aphid, Aphis aurantii

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Adaptation to different host plants is considered to be an important driver of the divergence and speciation of herbivorous insects. The application of molecular data and integrated taxonomic practices in recent years may contribute to our understanding ...

Deciphering the role of receptor-like kinases in the adaptation of Orinus species to the habitat of the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science
Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) play vital roles in development, stress perception and signal transduction, acting as core components in abiotic stress responses in plants.

Divergent adaptation promotes reproductive isolation among experimental populations of the filamentous fungus Neurospora

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background An open, focal issue in evolutionary biology is how reproductive isolation and speciation are initiated; elucidation of mechanisms with empirical evidence has lagged behind theory.

Biogeographic Drivers of Evolutionary Radiations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Some lineages radiate spectacularly when colonizing a region, but others do not. Large radiations are often attributed to species’ adaptation into niches, or to other drivers, such as biogeography including dispersal ability and spatial structure of the ...

Genetic and phenotypic divergence in an island bird: isolation by distance, by colonization or by adaptation? [PDF]

, 2014
Discerning the relative roles of adaptive and nonadaptive processes in generating differences among populations and species, as well as how these processes interact, is a fundamental aim in biology.

The speciation view: Disentangling multiple causes of adaptive and non‐adaptive radiation in terms of speciation

Population Ecology, 2021
AbstractBiological diversification often includes burst of lineage splitting. Such “radiation” has been known to act as evolutionary arenas with the potential to generate unique phylogenetic clusters and further novel groups. Although these radiations when accompanied by ecological diversification, so‐called “adaptive radiation” have persisted as a ...
