Frequent origins of traumatic insemination involve convergent shifts in sperm and genital morphology

Abstract Traumatic insemination is a mating behavior during which the (sperm) donor uses a traumatic intromittent organ to inject an ejaculate through the epidermis of the (sperm) recipient, thereby frequently circumventing the female genitalia. Trau

Identifying models of trait‐mediated community assembly using random forests and approximate Bayesian computation

Publikováno v: Ecology and Evolution, Vol 9, Iss 23, Pp 13218-13230 (2019)

Abstract Ecologists often use dispersion metrics and statistical hypothesis testing to infer processes of community formation such as environmental filtering, competitive exclusion, and neutral species assembly. These metrics have limited power in in

International audience; Evolutionary rates play a central role in connecting micro- and macroevolution. All evolutionary rate estimates, including rates of molecular evolution, trait evolution, and lineage diversification, share a similar scaling pat

Uncovering Cryptic Coevolution

Autor: Luke J. Harmon, Scott L. Nuismer, Bob Week

Publikováno v: The American naturalist. 199(6)

Studies of coevolution in the wild have largely focused on reciprocally specialized species pairs with striking and exaggerated phenotypes. Textbook examples include interactions between toxic newts and their garter snake predators, long-tongued flie

A Comprehensive Study of Cyanobacterial Morphological and Ecological Evolutionary Dynamics through Deep Geologic Time.

Autor: Josef C Uyeda, Luke J Harmon, Carrine E Blank

Publikováno v: PLoS ONE, Vol 11, Iss 9, p e0162539 (2016)

Cyanobacteria have exerted a profound influence on the progressive oxygenation of Earth. As a complementary approach to examining the geologic record-phylogenomic and trait evolutionary analyses of extant species can lead to new insights. We construc
