Background: Human alteration of natural environments and habitats is a major driver of species decline. However, a handful of species thrive in human altered environments. The biology, distribution, population structure, ...
Exome analysis reveals species divergence in TYR and identifies species genetic markers in five endemic Macaca species on Sulawesi Island [0.03%]
外显子组分析揭示了四种猕猴TYR基因的种间差异，并在苏拉威西岛上五个特有猕猴物种中鉴定出遗传标志物
Xiaochan Yan,Nami Arakawa,Kanthi Arum Widayati et al.
Xiaochan Yan et al.
Background: One of the greatest challenges for evolutionary biologists is explaining the vast diversity observed in nature. On Sulawesi Island, macaque species (genus Macaca) have rapidly diverged from their common ancest...
Challenging and redefining Dollo's law of evolution: re-appearance of lost structures [0.03%]
挑战和重新定义达尔文法则：丢失结构的重现现象
William R Jackman,Vincent J Lynch,Yann Gibert
William R Jackman
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%]
小型生境异质性和基因型调节南极双壳纲软件动物Aequiyoldia eightsii在一座正在融化的冰川前的原位基因表达水平
Mariano Martínez,Lars Harms,Doris Abele et al.
Mariano Martínez et al.
Regulation of gene expression is a pivotal adaptive mechanism of organisms facing environmental variation. We studied the in situ gene expression of the shallow-water bivalve Aequiyoldia eightsii in Potter Cove (King George Island, Antarcti...
Forelimb feathering, soft tissues, and skeleton of the flying dromaeosaurid Microraptor [0.03%]
会飞行的窃蛋龙类microraptor的手羽、软组织和骨骼结构
Maxime Grosmougin,Xiaoli Wang,Xiaoting Zheng et al.
Maxime Grosmougin et al.
Background: Microraptor is an essential animal for understanding the evolution of flight in birds and their closest relatives. Recent studies have uncovered evidence of its powered flight potential and details of its diet...
The influence of native shrub density on bird communities in the southern drylands of California, USA [0.03%]
美国加利福尼亚南部干旱地区本土灌木密度对鸟类群落的影响
Zoë Hillier-Weltman,C J Lortie,Mario Zuliani
Zoë Hillier-Weltman
Interactions between key landscape features in desert ecosystems such as shrubs and other foundation plants can influence avian community assembly. Bird species often use resources and microhabitats provided by these shrubs for food, perchi...
Genetic mixed diversity landscape in the paternal lineages of 11 populations inhabiting Southwest China according to the analysis of 25 Y-STRs [0.03%]
基于Y-STR分析的中国西南11个人群父系谱系的遗传多样性格局研究
Yunyan Luo,Anmin Chi,Xuehong Guo et al.
Yunyan Luo et al.
Y-STR genotyping can be used to predict the genetic mixed landscape of different populations effectively. In this study, 25 Y-STR loci were detected in 745 unrelated healthy males from the Bai, Bouyei, Dong, Gelao, Hui, Maonan, Mulao, Shui,...
Sexual size and shape dimorphism are consistent with predictions that both natural and sexual selection are driving the evolution of sexual dimorphism in Mormon crickets, Anabrus simplex [0.03%]
性体型和体形二态性与以下预测一致：自然选择和性选择都在推动Mormon螽斯（Anabrus simplex）的性二态性进化
Kevin A Judge,Stacy R Demma,Laura J Robson et al.
Kevin A Judge et al.
Background: Selection can be a powerful force causing morphological adaptation in populations. We tested predictions about the role of both natural and sexual selection in shaping morphology in the Mormon cricket, Anabrus...
