Abstract:
... Previous evidence suggests that cicadas lacking Hodgkinia may harbour the yeast‐like fungal symbionts (YLS). Here, we reinforce an earlier conclusion that the pathogenic ancestor of YLS independently infected different cicada lineages instead of the common ancestor of Cicadidae. Five independent replacement events in the loss of Hodgkinia/acquisition of YLS and seven other replacement events of YL ...

Abstract:
... The Avars settled the Carpathian Basin in 567/68 CE, establishing an empire lasting over 200 years. Who they were and where they came from is highly debated. Contemporaries have disagreed about whether they were, as they claimed, the direct successors of the Mongolian Steppe Rouran empire that was destroyed by the Turks in ∼550 CE. Here, we analyze new genome-wide data from 66 pre-Avar and Avar-pe ...

Abstract:
... Cannibalism involves killing and consuming an individual of the same species. Different factors modulate cannibalism, and here we explored whether the diet diversity would mediate the cannibalism propensity in Microlophus lizards. We compiled the available information on diet and cannibalism of the 22 Microlophus species. We found that there is a relatively high incidence of cannibalism within Mic ...

Abstract:
... Many flowers exhibit phenotypic plasticity. By inducing the production of several phenotypes, plasticity may favour the rapid exploration of different regions of the floral morphospace. We investigated how plasticity drives Moricandia arvensis, a species displaying within‐individual floral polyphenism, across the floral morphospace of the entire Brassicaceae family. We compiled the multidimensiona ...

Abstract:
... More than half a billion years ago, a streptophyte algal lineage began terraforming the terrestrial habitat and Earth’s atmosphere. This pioneering step enabled the subsequent evolution of all complex life on land and the last decade has uncovered that many traits, both morphological and genetic, we once thought were unique to land plants are conserved across some streptophyte algae. They provided ...

The DAN gene family (DAN, Differential screening-selected gene Aberrant in Neuroblastoma) is a group of genes that is expressed during development and plays fundamental roles in limb bud formation and digitation, kidney formation and morphogenesis and left-right axis specification. During adulthood the expression of these genes are associated with diseases, including cancer. Although most of the a ...

Abstract:
... Genome scans for selection can provide an efficient way to dissect the genetic basis of domestication traits and understand mechanisms of adaptation during crop evolution. Selection involving soft sweeps (simultaneous selection for multiple alleles) is probably common in plant genomes but is under‐studied, and few if any studies have systematically scanned for soft sweeps in the context of crop do ...

The cetacean hindlimb skeleton massively decreased to only vestigial limb elements as cetaceans evolved from land to aquatic lifestyles; however, the molecular mechanism underlying this major morphological transition remains unclear. In this study, four deletions and specific substitutions were detected in cetacean hindlimb enhancer A (HLEA), an enhancer that can regulate Tbx4 expression in hindli ...

To evaluate their genetic composition at the whole-genome level, 24 G3P[8] RVA strains isolated from children under five years were sequenced and characterized. The 24 strains were genotyped as G3-P[8]-I1-R1-C1-M1-A1-N1-T1-E1-H1, indicating the Wa-like genotype constellation. A maximum clade credibility (MCC) ...

Abstract:
... Social parasitism describes a fascinating way of life in which species exploit the altruistic behaviour of closely related, social species. Social parasites have repeatedly evolved in the social Hymenoptera, including ants, bees, and wasps. The common ancestry and shared (social) environment with their hosts facilitates the study of molecular adaptations to the parasitic lifestyle. Moreover, when ...

Cambrian cryptospore, though its concept and affinity remain controversial, shows indispensable evidence of algal ancestor preceding occurrence of land plants. In this study, we recognize a Cambrian (Epoch 2, Age 4) paly ...

Recently, a new malaria species which closely related to ape P. vivax was found in chimpanzees, in addition, the host switches of P. vivax from ape to human was confirmed. These findings support the African origin of P. vivax. Previous phylogenetic analyses have ...

Plasmodium spp. in lemurs are a diverse clade that shares a common ancestor with other primate parasites from conti ...
