- 1From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13) Peer-ReviewedThe intention of this editorial is to steer researchers through methodological choices in molecular evolution, drawing on the combined expertise of the authors. Our aim is not to review the most advanced methods for a...
- 2From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Lingli He1,2 , Man Zhao1,2 , Yan Wang1 , Junyi Gai3 and Chaoying He1 Background PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1 ) genes play diverse roles in plant growth and development; for example, some are important for inorganic...
- 3From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Tiina Särkinen1,2 , Lynn Bohs3 , Richard G Olmstead4 and Sandra Knapp1 Background Divergence times are of major interest for studies of evolutionary biology and historical biogeography, but also to...
- 4From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Tahera Sultana1 , Jiyeon Kim2 , Sang-Hwa Lee2 , Hyerim Han3 , Sanghee Kim4 , Gi-Sik Min1 , Steven A Nadler5 and Joong-Ki Park2,6 Background Nematodes are among the most common, abundant and ecologically...

Modeling the evolution dynamics of exon-intron structure with a general random fragmentation process
Author(s): Liya Wang1 and Lincoln D Stein1,2,3 Background Most eukaryotic genes contain spliceosomal introns, which are removed from mRNA after transcription by the RNA splicing apparatus. The biological origins... - 6From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Lorenzo A Santorelli1,2,5 , Adam Kuspa1,2,3 , Gad Shaulsky1,2 , David C Queller4 and Joan E Strassmann4 Background Microorganisms are able to communicate and cooperate to perform complex social...
- 7From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Fatty acids, a considerable fraction of lipid molecules, participate in fundamental physiological processes. They undergo activation into their corresponding CoA esters for oxidation or esterification into...
- 8From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Sexual conflict over mating rates may favour the origin and maintenance of phenotypes with contrasting reproductive strategies. The damselfly Ischnura elegans is characterised by a female colour...
- 9From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground On August 9th 2012, we published an original research article in Scientific Reports, concluding that artificial radionuclides released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant exerted genetically...
- 10From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The Neotropics are exceptionally diverse, containing roughly one third of all extant bird species on Earth. This remarkable species richness is thought to be a consequence of processes associated with both...
- 11From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Scleractinian corals and their algal endosymbionts (genus Symbiodinium) exhibit distinct bathymetric distributions on coral reefs. Yet, few studies have assessed the evolutionary context of these...
- 12From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The evolution and origin of cave organisms is a recurring issue in evolutionary studies, but analyses are often hindered by the inaccessibility of caves, morphological convergence, and complex colonization...
- 13From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Explanations for bacterial biofilm persistence during antibiotic treatment typically depend on non-genetic mechanisms, and rarely consider the contribution of evolutionary processes. Results Using...
- 14From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In vertebrates, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that genes encoding proteins involved in pathogen-recognition by adaptive immunity (e.g. MHC) are subject to intensive diversifying selection. On the...
- 15From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Heat-shock proteins of the 70 kDa family (Hsp70s) are essential chaperones required for key cellular functions. In eukaryotes, four subfamilies can be distinguished according to their function and...
- 16From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground A long, slender body plan characterized by an elongate antorbital region and posterior displacement of the unpaired fins has evolved multiple times within ray-finned fishes, and is associated with ambush...
- 17From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground A dual olfactory system, represented by two anatomically distinct but spatially proximate chemosensory epithelia that project to separate areas of the forebrain, is known in several classes of tetrapods....
- 18From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedContributing reviewers The editors of BMC Evolutionary Biology would like to thank all our reviewers who have contributed to the journal in Volume 12 (2012). Author(s): Timothy R Sands1 Noritaka Adachi Japan...
- 19From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Joseph Heled1,2 and Remco R Bouckaert1,2 Background Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis provides powerful and popular techniques for performing phylogenetic analysis. The result of such an...
- 20From: BMC Evolutionary Biology. (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Estelle Lerceteau-Köhler1,3 , Ulrich Schliewen2 , Theodora Kopun1,4 and Steven Weiss1 Background An overwhelming majority of species in nature exhibit some level of phylogeographic structure and this...
