Ancient whales did not filter feed with their teeth
The origin of baleen whales (Mysticeti), the largest animals on Earth, is closely tied to their signature filter-feeding strategy. Unlike their modern relatives, archaic whales possessed a well-developed, heterodont adult dentition. How these teeth were used, and what role their function and subsequent loss played in the emergence of filter feeding, is an enduring mystery. In particular, it has...
متن کاملEvolutionary Relationships between Bat Coronaviruses and Their Hosts
Recent studies have suggested that bats are the natural reservoir of a range of coronaviruses (CoVs), and that rhinolophid bats harbor viruses closely related to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) CoV, which caused an outbreak of respiratory illness in humans during 2002-2003. We examined the evolutionary relationships between bat CoVs and their hosts by using sequence data of the vir...
متن کاملRe Bedbugs and Their Destruction
Sik,?I am glad to note that Sub-Asst.-Surgeon Satkari Ganguli after trying turpentine on bedbugs writes his experiences in the October 1912 issue of this your esteemed journal, and passes his glowing opinion on its effectiveness in destroying them. This is as you know what I claimed in my article of the 28th August 1911 in the October 1911 issue of the journal, which was the first article I wro...
متن کاملModern Humans Did Not Admix with Neanderthals during Their Range Expansion into Europe
The process by which the Neanderthals were replaced by modern humans between 42,000 and 30,000 before present is still intriguing. Although no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineage is found to date among several thousands of Europeans and in seven early modern Europeans, interbreeding rates as high as 25% could not be excluded between the two subspecies. In this study, we introduce a re...
متن کاملAncient coevolution of baculoviruses and their insect hosts.
If the relationships between baculoviruses and their insect hosts are subject to coevolution, this should lead to long-term evolutionary effects such as the specialization of these pathogens for their hosts. To test this hypothesis, a phylogeny of the Baculoviridae, including 39 viruses from hosts of the orders Lepidoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera, was reconstructed based on sequences from the...
