Insights into the mating games
Richard Wagner’s fascination with the natural world goes back as far as he can remember. As a child growing up in Long Island, USA he started by collecting insects in his back garden and by the age of ten he had acquired his first pet snake. His unusually tolerant parents encouraged his hobby and in his teens his snake collection reached a peak of seven (augmented by many lizards, turtles and s...
متن کاملInsights into an evolutionary strategy leading to antibiotic resistance
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) with activity towards a broad-spectrum of β-lactam antibiotics have become a major threat to public health, not least due to their ability to rapidly adapt their substrate preference. In this study, the capability of the MBL AIM-1 to evade antibiotic pressure by introducing specific mutations was probed by two alternative methods, i.e. site-saturation mutagenesis (SS...
متن کاملEvolution of disassortative and assortative mating preferences based on imprinting.
A two-locus haploid model of sexual selection is investigated to explore evolution of disassortative and assortative mating preferences based on imprinting. In this model, individuals imprint on a genetically transmitted trait during early ontogeny and choosy females later use those parental images as a criterion of mate choice. It is assumed that the presence or absence of the female preferenc...
متن کاملEvolutionary changes of Hox genes and relevant regulatory factors provide novel insights into mammalian morphological modifications
The diversity of body plans of mammals accelerates the innovation of lifestyles and the extensive adaptation to different habitats, including terrestrial, aerial and aquatic habitats. However, the genetic basis of those phenotypic modifications, which have occurred during mammalian evolution, remains poorly explored. In the present study, we synthetically surveyed the evolutionary pattern of Ho...
متن کاملPhylogeny, classification and evolutionary insights into pestiviruses.
The genus Pestivirus comprises four established species: Bovine viral diarrhoea viruses 1 (BVDV-1) and 2 (BVDV-2), Border disease virus (BDV), and Classical swine fever virus (CSFV); and a tentative species, Pestivirus of giraffe. Additional pestiviruses have been identified and suggested for recognition as novel subgroups/species. To achieve a reliable phylogeny as the basis for classification...
