The evolutionary history of primate mating systems
Unlike bones, behavior does not fossilize, so it is hard to infer the evolutionary history of social traits. However, we have shown elsewhere that Bayesian phylogenetic methods allow the investigation of ancestral states and models of evolution of social grouping behaviour in primates. Here, we extend this analysis to another significant aspect of primate social life, which may be subject to di...
متن کاملPrimate evolutionary genetics.
With the publication in February 2001 of the draft human genome sequence, a new milestone was established in the history of biology. Seemingly, at the inception of the Human Genome Project, the pervasive impact of the availability of complete DNA sequences from human and other species failed to receive the wide and general recognition that now exists. Genome sequences have become an important o...
متن کاملFancy a gene? A surprisingly complex evolutionary history of peroxiredoxins.
While the phylum Apicomplexa includes "only" several thousand described species of obligatory parasites of animals, it may in fact be the most specious group of parasitic protists with over a million species 1. The best known representatives are Plasmodium spp., Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium spp., which belong to the most important and widespread human parasites exacting an enormous dis...
متن کاملReconstructing the Evolutionary History of Complex Human Gene Clusters
Clusters of genes that evolved from single progenitors via repeated segmental duplications present significant challenges to the generation of a truly complete human genome sequence. Such clusters can confound both accurate sequence assembly and downstream computational analysis, yet they represent a hotbed of functional innovation, making them of extreme interest. We have developed an algorith...
متن کاملEvolutionary history of the Drosophila bipectinata species complex.
Groups of recently diverged species offer invaluable glimpses into the history and genetic basis of speciation and phenotypic evolution. In this report, we combine phylogenetic and population-genetic approaches to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the Drosophila bipectinata species complex. This complex is a group of four closely related, largely sympatric species--D. bipectinata, D. para...
