Rapid morphological evolution in placental mammals post-dates the origin of the crown group.
(The Royal Society, 2019-03-13)
Resolving the timing and pattern of early placental mammal evolution has been confounded by conflict among divergence date estimates from interpretation of the fossil record and from molecular-clock dating studies. Despite ...
Massive losses of taste receptor genes in toothed and baleen whales.
(2014-05-06)
Taste receptor genes are functionally important in animals, with a surprising exception in the bottlenose dolphin, which shows extensive losses of sweet, umami, and bitter taste receptor genes. To examine the generality ...
Parental transposable element loads influence their dynamics in young Nicotiana hybrids and allotetraploids.
(Wiley on behalf of New Phytologist Trust, 2019-02)
The genomic shock hypothesis suggests that allopolyploidy is associated with genome changes driven by transposable elements, as a response to imbalances between parental insertion loads. To explore this hypothesis, we ...
