Cooperation, clumping and the evolution of multicellularity.
The evolution of multicellular organisms represents one of the major evolutionary transitions in the history of life. A potential advantage of forming multicellular clumps is that it provides an efficiency benefit to pre-existing cooperation, such as the production of extracellular 'public goods'. However, this is complicated by the fact that cooperation could jointly evolve with clumping, and ...

15 صفحه اولExperimental evolution of multicellularity.
Multicellularity was one of the most significant innovations in the history of life, but its initial evolution remains poorly understood. Using experimental evolution, we show that key steps in this transition could have occurred quickly. We subjected the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to an environment in which we expected multicellularity to be adaptive. We observed the rapid evol...
متن کاملAdhesive Specificity and the Evolution of Multicellularity
The step from unicellular to multicellular organisms was a major milestone in evolution. This was achieved by the generation of membrane-associated cell adhesion molecules. Cell adhesion is not only an essential component but sometimes even a driving force in the creation of the structural and functional complexity observed during metazoan evolution. The way multicellular organisms are morpholo...
متن کاملHistone Reduction During the Evolution of Multicellularity
Multicellular organisms have evolved multiple times throughout the history of life on Earth. The most recent transition to multicellularity occurred about 200 MYA within the volvocine algae, with phenotypes ranging from unicellular, undifferentiated multicellular and differentiated multicellular all with sequenced genomes. Interestingly, while the genomes of these organisms are very similar sho...
