.... However, it is not clear what factors are involved in the evolution of such accuracy in natural populations. In this study, we examined the relative contributions of gating of eclosion by the circadian clock versus clock-independent developmental rates and light-induced responses in the eclosion phenotype...

... similarity to the ZP genes characterized in certain invertebrates. The origin and evolution of the vertebrate ZP genes remain obscure. A search against 97 representative metazoan species revealed various numbers (ranging from three to 33) of different putative egg-coat ZP genes in all 47 vertebrates...

.... Symbiosis is now recognized as a central driver of evolution across the entire tree of life, including, for example, bacterial endosymbionts that provide insects with vital nutrients and the mitochondria that power our own cells. Symbioses between microbes and their multicellular hosts also underpin...

... on the evolution of senescence, we looked at its presence in developing axolotls (urodele amphibians) and in zebrafish (teleost fish), which are both anamniotes. Our data indicate that cellular senescence is present in various developing structures in axolotls (pronephros, olfactory epithelium of nerve fascicles...

... of behavior and evolution. We used two strains of D. melanogaster : MelG was collected by the authors in Goleta, California in 2012; Zi237N (referred to throughout as MelZ) was collected by John Pool in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2010 ( Lack et al., 2015 ). The two D. s imulans...

The maintenance and fixing of somatic experiences, encoded via stable biochemical or physiological states, may contribute...

... metazoans have been shown to conserve the cadherin–catenin “core”, but little is known about the evolution of the cadhesome. Using a bioinformatics approach based on both sequence and structural analysis, we have traced the evolution of this larger network in 26 organisms, from the uni-cellular ancestors...
