Differences in Brain Transcriptomes of Closely Related Baikal Coregonid Species
The aim of this work was to get deeper insight into genetic factors involved in the adaptive divergence of closely related species, specifically two representatives of Baikal coregonids--Baikal whitefish (Coregonus baicalensis Dybowski) and Baikal omul (Coregonus migratorius Georgi)--that diverged from a common ancestor as recently as 10-20 thousand years ago. Using the Serial Analysis of Gene ...
متن کاملDivergence of nucleosome positioning between two closely related yeast species: genetic basis and functional consequences
Gene regulation differs greatly between related species, constituting a major source of phenotypic diversity. Recent studies characterized extensive differences in the gene expression programs of closely related species. In contrast, virtually nothing is known about the evolution of chromatin structure and how it influences the divergence of gene expression. Here, we compare the genome-wide nuc...
متن کاملDifferences in metabolic costs of terrestrial mobility in two closely related species of albatross.
Black-browed albatrosses Thalassarche melanophrys typically colonise steeper habitats than grey-headed albatrosses T. chrysostoma. The present study investigated the effect of colony philopatry on terrestrial locomotory ability in these two species, to determine: (1) if there is a difference in terrestrial locomotory ability between these two closely related species, and (2) what physiological ...
متن کاملDifferences in maternal supply and early development of closely related nematode species.
Comparative analyses revealed considerable differences in embryonic pattern formation and cell-specification between Caenorhabditis elegans and Acrobeloides nanus, members of two neighboring nematode clades. While C.elegans develops very rapidly, A. nanus needs 4-5 times as long. To investigate whether differences during early embryogenesis could be related to developmental tempo, we studied th...
متن کاملAllometry and Interspecific Differences in the Facial Cranium of Two Closely Related Macaque Species
Interpreting evolutionary history of macaque monkeys from fossil evidence is difficult, because their evolutionary fluctuations in body size might have removed or formed important morphological features differently in each lineage. We employed geometric morphometrics to explore allometric trajectories of craniofacial shape in two closely related species, Macaca fascicularis and M. fuscata. Thes...
