Abstract:
... The evolution of the aedeagus, juxta, and microstructures on the valvae in the subtribe Polyommatina (Lycaenidae) during the last 5 MY is considered, and the chronology of morphological changes in these structures is established. The morphological characters of 47 species of the subtribe were tested by molecular analysis. Numerous cases of parallel evolution were discovered in the taxa of various ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Reproductive division of labor in eusocial insects is a striking example of a shared genetic background giving rise to alternative phenotypes, namely queen and worker castes. Queen and worker phenotypes play major roles in the evolution of eusocial insects. Their behavior, morphology and physiology underpin many ecologically relevant colony-level traits, which evolved in parallel in mu ...

Abstract:
... Centrohelid heliozoans are non-ciliary axopodial protists of uncertain affinities. Cell coverings (organic spicules, siliceous plate-scales and spine-scales) are the main character for their taxonomy. Phylogenetic reconstructions of this group are mostly based on the sequences of 18S rDNA. Here molecular and microscopical data on Raphidiophrys heterophryoidea, R. drakena sp. nov., Spiculophrys agr ...

Abstract:
... The bivalve mantle margin comprises the free portion of the pallial lobes, and often bears muscular, sensory or secretory structures located on extensions of the mantle, called mantle folds. In the bivalve Infraclass Pteriomorphia, which underwent an extensive adaptive radiation in epifaunal habitats, the mantle margin exhibits an enormous diversity in mantle fold organization and associated struc ...

Abstract:
... Recent technological developments allow investigation of the repeatability of evolution at the genomic level. Such investigation is particularly powerful when applied to a ring species, in which spatial variation represents changes during the evolution of two species from one. We examined genomic variation among three subspecies of the greenish warbler ring species, using genotypes at 13 013 950 n ...

Abstract:
... Parallel divergence and speciation provide evidence for the role of divergent selection in generating biological diversity. Recent studies indicate that parallel phenotypic divergence may not have the same genetic basis in different geographical locations – ‘outlier loci’ (loci potentially affected by divergent selection) are often not shared among parallel instances of phenotypic divergence.

Abstract:
... The taxonomy of the Cladophoraceae, a large family of filamentous green algae, has been problematic for a long time due to morphological simplicity, parallel evolution, phenotypic plasticity, and unknown distribution ranges. Partial large subunit (LSU) rDNA sequences were generated for 362 isolates, and the analyses of a concatenated dataset consisting of unique LSU and small subunit (SSU) rDNA se ...

Abstract:
... Solifuges lack oxygen-carrying proteins like hemocyanins found in other chelicerates. For conduction of gases, therefore, we hypothesize that the tracheal system is divided into convective and respiratory parts, the latter having intimate association with respiring cells, tissues and organs. This hypothesis is supported by studies of tracheae in other arthropods. We used light, scanning, and trans ...

Abstract:

When similar selection acts on the same traits in multiple species or populations, parallel evolution can result in similar phenotypic changes, yet the underlying molecular architecture of parallel phenotypic divergence can be variable. Maternal effects can influence evolution at ecological timescales and facilitate local adaptation, but their contribution to parallel adaptive divergence is unclea ...

The distinct morphological traits and color patterns exhibited by these snakes, together with the wide diversity of ecosystems they inhabit, collectively suggest that the genus may represent multiple species. Morphological variation within Boa also includes instances of dwarfism observed i ...

To ask whether the specieswide e ...

Abstract:

However, few empirical studies have been designed to clarify the ways in which these processes complicate taxonomic delimitation.

Abstract:
... The high frequency of interactions amongst closely related individuals in social insect colonies enhances pathogen transmission. Group-mediated behavior supporting immune defenses tends to decrease selection acting on immune genes. Along with low effective population sizes this might result in relaxed constraint and rapid evolution of immune system genes. Here, we show that antiviral siRNA genes s ...
