Charophytes: Evolutionary Giants and Emerging Model Organisms
Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet. Extant charophytes exhibit many features that are similar to those found in land plants and their relatively simple phenotypes make them efficacious organisms for the study of many fundamental biological phenomena. ...

متن کامل1. Endocrinology and neuroendocrinology of protochordates: Evolutionary views and potentials as new model organisms
The critical phylogenetic position of ascidians suggests that evolutionary origins of neuropeptides and hormones of vertebrates are highly likely to be conserved in ascidians, and the cosmopolitan species, Ciona intestinalis, is expected to be an excellent deuterostome invertebrate model for studies on neuropeptides and hormones of vertebrates. Nevertheless, molecular and functional characteriz...
متن کاملHumans and primates: New model organisms for evolutionary developmental biology?
If the animals in George Orwell’s Animal Farm had been biologists, they might have proclaimed that while all organisms are unique, some are more unique than others. Perhaps with some justification, we humans often apply that essentialist view to our own especially interesting phenotype. We are the only striding, tailless bipeds; we have absurdly long ontogenies for our body size; our brains are...
متن کاملExcess carbon in aquatic organisms and ecosystems: Physiological, ecological, and evolutionary implications
Cells and organisms, both autotrophs and heterotrophs, commonly face imbalanced access to and uptake of elements relative to their requirements. C is often in excess relative to key nutrient elements like N or P in photoautotrophs. Likewise, one of the lessons from ecological stoichiometry is that the growth of consumers, especially herbivores and detritivores, is commonly limited by N or P suc...
