Evolutionary analysis of swimming speed in early vertebrates challenges the ‘New Head Hypothesis’
The ecological context of early vertebrate evolution is envisaged as a long-term trend towards increasingly active food acquisition and enhanced...

Incommensurability in Evolutionary Biology: The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis Controversy
Evolutionary biologists today debate whether it is convenient to revise the standard theory of evolution, or if an Extended Evolutionary Synthesis is...
-
Darwin’s agential materials: evolutionary implications of multiscale competency in developmental biology
A critical aspect of evolution is the layer of developmental physiology that operates between the genotype and the anatomical phenotype. While much...

Growth exponents reflect evolutionary processes and treatment response in brain metastases
Tumor growth is the result of the interplay of complex biological processes in huge numbers of individual cells living in changing environments....
-
Ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving within-patient emergence of antimicrobial resistance
The ecological and evolutionary mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emergence within patients and how these vary across bacterial infections...
-
Comparative Evolutionary Genomics in Insects
Genome sequencing quality, in terms of both read length and accuracy, is constantly improving. By combining long-read sequencing technologies with...

Eco-evolutionary dynamics in two-species mutualistic systems: one-sided population decline triggers joint interaction disinvestment
The interplay between ecological and evolutionary dynamics can create feedback that reinforces external disturbances and potentially threatens...
-
Eco-evolutionary feedback as a driver of periodic state shifts in tri-trophic food chains
Eco-evolutionary feedback can result in periodic shifts with long intervals between alternative community states. Simulations using a food chain...

On the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis
This chapter outlines a ‘mathematically elegant’ expansion of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis that embeds modalities of direct heritage—from...
-
A model for evolutionary rescue through plant mating system
As reported by experimental studies, changes in pollination regime are expected to drive plant mating system evolution. In natural populations facing...

Evolutionary–developmental (evo-devo) dynamics of hominin brain size
Brain size tripled in the human lineage over four million years, but why this occurred remains uncertain. Here, to study what caused this brain...
-
Evolutionary Structure Conservation and Covariance Scores
Effective homology search for non-coding RNAs is frequently not possible via sequence similarity alone. Current methods leverage evolutionary...
-
Evolutionary imbalance, climate and human history jointly shape the global biogeography of alien plants
Human activities are causing global biotic redistribution, translocating species and providing them with opportunities to establish populations...

Evolutionary shift detection with ensemble variable selection
Abrupt environmental changes can lead to evolutionary shifts in trait evolution. Identifying these shifts is an important step in understanding the...

Detection of colinear blocks and synteny and evolutionary analyses based on utilization of MCScanX
As different taxa evolve, gene order often changes slowly enough that chromosomal ‘blocks’ with conserved gene orders (synteny) are discernible. The...
-
Routine metabolic rate correlates with swimming speed in medaka
Metabolic rate correlates with function of the individual, such as foraging patterns and swimming performance. In this study, genetic variation in...

Ecological and evolutionary dynamics of multi-strain RNA viruses
Potential interactions among co-circulating viral strains in host populations are often overlooked in the study of virus transmission. However, these...

Evolutionary mining and functional characterization of TnpB nucleases identify efficient miniature genome editors
As the evolutionary ancestor of Cas12 nuclease, the transposon (IS200/IS605)-encoded TnpB proteins act as compact RNA-guided DNA endonucleases. To...

Punctuated Regulation as an Evolutionary Mechanism
Pivoting on the elegant work of Casanova and Konkel (2020), we adapt models based on the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control...
