UNCOVERING GENOMIC INSIGHTS TO THE DYNAMICS AND MECHANISMS OF SPECIATION USING LIALIS BURTONIS AND HETERONOTIA BINOEI
(2019-05-08)
Species are fundamental entities in biology because their existence represents the cohesion that binds populations into a single unit. One facet of evolutionary biology is to identify the processes that cause the origin ...
Understanding the role direct contact, toxicity, and mixotrophy play in the population dynamics of Prymnesium parvum
(2019-08-07)
Harmful algae disrupt other organisms and ecosystems by multiple mechanisms. Many taxa of harmful algae produce toxic compounds that likely contribute to such problems. Though there is little evidence that the harmful ...
WHO CARES ABOUT MODELS WHEN YOU HAVE GENOMES?
(2019-05-14)
There is no question about it: genomic data are revolutionizing biology. This is certainly evident
in the fields of population genetics and phylogenetics for which genome-scale analyses have
been used to study a myriad ...
The evolution of complexity: tests of the ecological drivers of eye size evolution in nature
(2019-04-29)
Organisms exhibit extensive variation in eye size and structure across the animal kingdom. The long standing hypothesis is that divergent ecological selective pressures drive and maintain this variation. While multiple ...
Toughing it out: understanding the interplay of phenotypic plasticity and evolution in stressful environments
(2019-08-05)
Preserving the health of ecosystems on Earth rewards local communities with economic benefits and improved quality of life. Yet, humans often perform activities that disrupt natural systems and lead to declines in biodiversity ...
STRESS RESPONSES OF CORALS AND THEIR SYMBIOTIC PARTNERS
(2019-08-06)
Disease and temperature are primary threats to coral persistence, and these stresses can work synergistically to accelerate coral declines. In the face of climate change, understanding the effects of these stresses is key ...
Rattlesnake genomics illustrate patterns of speciation, adaptation, and links between genome structure and function
(2019-08-13)
Understanding the origins of species and biological novelties that allow them to thrive in diverse environments is a key goal in evolutionary biology, and new genomic methods are constantly enabling research using non-model ...
Using snake genomes to illuminate the patterns and mechanisms of rapid adaptation
(2018-08-01)
One of the most important and interesting goals in evolutionary biology is to understand the mechanisms generating biodiversity and adaptive novelty. Ever-evolving genomic techniques have served as a catalyst for this work, ...
Domestication of PIF transposable elements transposases as regulatory proteins in Drosophila melanogaster
(2018-08-23)
Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic units that are able to move and amplify within a host genome. As a result of their activities, TE insertions can cause disruptions of gene functions and ectopic recombination producing ...
EFFECTS OF pH SHOCK AND HEAT STRESS ON THE GROWTH OF NITROGEN-FIXING BACTERIA AND THEIR PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZATION
(2021-05-11)
Rhizobia are well known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N) into ammonia, so called biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), either as free-living bacteria in soil or as symbiotic partners of legume plants. ...
