Artificial selection began to override natural selection in domesticated wild boar and other
species about 10,000 years ago. The intentional selection of a desired phenotypic trait is a …

ABSTRACT A well‐known tenet of murine tooth development is that BMP4 and FGF8
antagonistically initiate odontogenesis, but whether this tenet is conserved across amniotes …

Palaeognathae, the extant avian clade comprising the flightless ratites and flight‐capable
tinamous (Tinamidae), is the sister group to all other living birds, and recent phylogenetic …

Chlorella viruses are a source of interesting membrane transport proteins. Here we examine
a putative K+ transporter encoded by virus FR483 and related chlorella viruses. The protein …

Data synthesis required for large-scale macroevolutionary studies is challenging with the
current tools available for integration. Using a classic question regarding the frequency of …

Abstract The Caprellidea (Crustacea) have undergone an interesting morphological
evolution from their ancestral gammarid-like form. Although most caprellid families have …

Abstract Background and Aims The main assemblage of the grass subfamily Chloridoideae
is the largest known clade of C4 plant species, with the notable exception of Eragrostis …

The main purpose of the present review is to draw attention to growing problems in the
modern systematics and phylogenetics which are presently underestimated by the …

Vestigial morphological traits are common and well known in a variety of taxa. Identification
of vestigial genes has illustrated the potential for evolutionary reversals and the re …

Recent analyses using large‐scale phylogenies suggest a radically different history for the
evolution of live birth and egg laying in squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) than …
