According to a modern interpretation of Dollo's Law of irreversibility in evolution, a lost structure, is unable to reappear in evolution due to the accumulation of mutations in the genes required for its formation. However, several reports...
Small-scale habitat heterogeneity and genotype modulate in situ gene expression of the Antarctic bivalve Aequiyoldia eightsii in front of a melting glacier [0.03%]
