Gut microbiota as a trigger of accelerated directional adaptive evolution. Acquisition of herbivory in the context of extracellular vesicles, microRNAs and inter-kingdom crosstalk [PDF]
, 2017 According to a traditional view, the specific diet in vertebrates is one of the key factors structuring the composition of the gut microbiota. In this interpretation, the microbiota assumes a subordinate position, where the larger host shapes, through ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1634-1730, April 2024.Abstract The origin of cynodonts, the group ancestral to and including mammals, is one of the major outstanding problems in therapsid evolution. One of the most troubling aspects of the cynodont fossil record is the lengthy Permian ghost lineage between the latest possible divergence from its sister group Therocephalia and the first appearance of ...
