- 1From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Indehiscent sporangia are reported for only a few of derived leptosporangiate ferns. Their evolution has been likely caused by conditions in which promotion of self-fertilization is an evolutionary...
- 2From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic animals that have apparently survived without sex for millions of years and are able to survive desiccation at all life stages through a process called anhydrobiosis. Both...
- 3From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground It has been reported that the modularity of metabolic networks of bacteria is closely related to the variability of their living habitats. However, given the dependency of the modularity score on the...
- 4From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Núria Radó-Trilla1 and MMar Albà1,2 Background Regions highly enriched in one or a few amino acids, known as low-complexity regions (LCRs), are strikingly abundant in protein sequences [1-3]. For...
- 5From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Huiquan Liu1,2,5 , Yanping Fu2 , Jiatao Xie2 , Jiasen Cheng2 , Said A Ghabrial3 , Guoqing Li1,2 , Youliang Peng4 , Xianhong Yi2 and Daohong Jiang1,2 Background Mycoviruses (fungal viruses) are...
- 6From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Shengjun Tan1 , Yan Zhong1 , Huan Hou1 , Sihai Yang1 and Dacheng Tian1 Background Sequence variants affecting phenotypes between different individuals were believed to be mostly due to small...
- 7From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Alexander Goncearenco1,2 and Igor N Berezovsky1 Background Protein evolution and evolution of protein function, in particular, is a long-standing topic of keen interest in both experimental and...
- 8From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Recent studies of the tick saliva transcriptome have revealed the profound role of salivary proteins in blood feeding. Kunitz/BPTI proteins are abundant in the salivary glands of ticks and perform multiple...
- 9From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground In mammals, males typically have shorter lives than females. This difference is thought to be due to behavioural traits which enhance competitive abilities, and hence male reproductive success, but impair...
- 10From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground In the laboratory, the Drosophila melanogaster heat shock protein Hsp90 can buffer the phenotypic effects of genetic variation. Laboratory experiments either manipulate Hsp90 activity pharmacologically, or...
- 11From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Patterns of genetic divergence between populations of facultative metallophytes have been investigated extensively. However, most previous investigations have focused on a single plant species making it...
- 12From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Antagonistic species interactions can lead to coevolutionary genotype or phenotype frequency oscillations, with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes. However, direct empirical...
- 13From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Remipedia, a group of homonomously segmented, cave-dwelling, eyeless arthropods have been regarded as basal crustaceans in most early morphological and taxonomic studies. However, molecular sequence...
- 14From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Adaptation of pathogens to their hosts depends critically on factors affecting pathogen reproductive rate. While pathogen reproduction is the end result of an intricate interaction between host and...
- 15From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The pronounced morphological conservatism within Tarentola geckos contrasted with a high genetic variation in North Africa, has led to the hypothesis that this group could represent a cryptic species...
- 16From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Small nucleolar (sno)RNAs are required for posttranscriptional processing and modification of ribosomal, spliceosomal and messenger RNAs. Their presence in both eukaryotes and archaea indicates that...
- 17From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Patagonia extends for more than 84,000 km of irregular coasts is an area especially apt to evaluate how historic and contemporary processes influence the distribution and connectivity of shallow marine...
- 18From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The thirteen species of Dryopteris in North America have long been suspected of having undergone a complicated history of reticulate evolution via allopolyploid hybridization. Various explanations for the...
- 19From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The potential role of RNA molecules as gene expression regulators has led to a new perspective on the intracellular control and genome organization. Because secondary structures are crucial for their...
- 20From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Like Fokkens1 , Paulien Hogeweg1 and Berend Snel1,2 Background The wealth of sequence data from a wide range of species, has allowed for large-scale studies of genome evolution and detailed...
