Disentangling the Evolution of Early and Late Life History Traits in Humans
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 39 - Trang 638-649 - 2012
Some aspects of human life history are unique among primates. Most notably, humans have a younger weaning age, a later age at first parturition, a shorter female reproductive period, and a longer lifespan than other living hominoid species. Obtaining a better understanding of when and how life history changed during human evolution is important to those studying the evolutionary developmental biol...... hiện toàn bộ
Recombination Rate and AT-content Show Opposite Correlations in Mammalian and Other Animal Genomes
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 35 - Trang 146-149 - 2008
Genomes are often characterized by their genome size, recombination rate and nucleotide content. Negative correlations of recombination rate and AT-content have been reported for selected species. Here we investigate 26 completely sequenced animal genomes with respect to their genomic characteristics. After correcting for phylogenetic correlations we find significant correlations between these cha...... hiện toàn bộ
What Do We Study in Evolutionary Ethnobiology? Defining the Theoretical Basis for a Research Program
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 44 - Trang 206-215 - 2016
Many scientific fields investigate the relationship between humans and nature from different perspectives and with a wide range of questions. These fields include, for example, human ecology, human behavioral ecology, and evolutionary psychology, and they are linked through the fact that they all adopt ecological and/or evolutionary hypotheses to understand this phenomenon. In this paper, we defin...... hiện toàn bộ

Outbreeding Depression in Atlantic Salmon Revealed by Hypoxic Stress During Embryonic Development
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 41 - Trang 561-571 - 2014
The fitness consequences of outbreeding in wild populations are extremely variable. Heterosis and outbreeding depression can both be observed but the effect of environmental stressors on the occurrence of these phenomena is still poorly understood. We tested the influence of oxygen stress during embryonic development on consequences of outbreeding in wild populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo sala...... hiện toàn bộ
Biology in the Movies: Using the Double-Edged Sword of Popular Culture to Enhance Public Understanding of Science
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 34 - Trang 49-54 - 2007
Advances in technology typically outpace the public’s understanding of the underlying science, the consequences of which are public distrust and confusion about the actual benefits and risks involved. That popular culture, particularly movies, often misrepresent scientific facts and ideas for the purpose of entertainment is usually viewed as part of the problem. Some movies, however, offer excelle...... hiện toàn bộ
Genes that are Used Together are More Likely to be Fused Together in Evolution by Mutational Mechanisms: A Bioinformatic Test of the Used-Fused Hypothesis
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 50 - Trang 30-55 - 2022
Cases of parallel or recurrent gene fusions in evolution as well as in genetic disease and cancer are difficult to explain, because unlike point mutations, they can require the repetition of a similar configuration of multiple breakpoints rather than the repetition of a single point mutation. The used-together-fused-together hypothesis holds that genes that are used together repeatedly and persist...... hiện toàn bộ
Family-Level Divergences in the Stinging Wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata), with Correlations to Angiosperm Diversification
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 40 - Trang 101-107 - 2012
Diversification in insects has often been linked to the evolution of angiosperms. The majority of studies reporting this link, however, have been done on herbivorous insects. It remains unclear if the diversification of angiosperms was also influential in the diversification of species-rich, carnivorous insect groups. Here we investigate the timing of the origin and diversification in the stinging...... hiện toàn bộ
Disparate Postnatal Ontogenies Do Not Add to the Shape Disparity of Infants
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 43 - Trang 188-207 - 2016
Integrating studies of ontogeny with analyses of disparity can reveal important and surprising insights into the origins of disparity and why it varies among groups. One such potentially surprising insight is that disparity could be constant over ontogeny even though species differ in both rates and timings of development and in their ontogenetic changes in shape. Several studies of both primates ...... hiện toàn bộ
Is Population Genetics Really Relevant to Evolutionary Biology?
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2024
The goal of evolutionary biology is to explain the diversity of the entire sweep of the natural world; population biology only examines tiny slices of time of a few individuals of single species. What gives the tiny scale of population biology its relevance to evolutionary biology is the following assumption: processes identical or similar to those observed in a given population biology study are ...... hiện toàn bộ
