Devin Shennard et al.
Uncovering mechanisms by which sensory systems evolve is critical for understanding how organisms adapt to a novel environment. Astyanax mexicanus is a species of fish with populations of surface fish, which inhabit rivers and streams, and ...
Monopodial and Sympodial Growth Modes in the Colonial Graptolithina (Hemichordata, Pterobranchia) [0.03%]

Prey attraction is an integral component of the carnivorous syndrome, yet its molecular adaptations have remained largely unexplored. Our study utilized tissue-specific transcriptomic data from the South American marsh pitcher plant, Heliam...
The Evolution of Skull Shape in Boana faber Clade: Unraveling Heterochrony's Influence [0.03%]
鲍安娜faber组的头骨形状进化：揭示异时性的影响
Daniel de Abreu E Melo-Moreira,Roberta Azeredo Murta-Fonseca,Alessandra Silveira Machado et al.
Daniel de Abreu E Melo-Moreira et al.
Variation in shape and size within a lineage, driven by developmental processes, plays a key role in diversification. Here, we explore the effects of allometry and heterochrony on the skull shape evolution during the post-metamorphic period...
