Within these arid zones, cyanobacteria emerge as a crucial group of organisms capable of actively thriving. They form complex communities known as biocrusts, which not only ensure their own survival, but also significantly contribute to the persistence of other organisms within these ecosystems. ...

2,3, and gave rise to many major groups of organisms such as flowering plants1. Recent studies are revealing widespread and repeated disparities in rates of species and trait diversification among
Which of the following has a positive effect on both of the organisms? a) Protocooperation b) Parasitism c) Predation d) Commensalism Which plant (one from any of the different phyla) structure or substance (that they afford) gives the...
The identification of the genes and alleles with selection signatures provides insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying the adaptation of wild castor to the high-altitude tropical desert and would facilitate direct improvement of modern castor varieties....
High rates of DNA evolution, accelerated coding-sequence evolution, accumulation of gene duplications during speciation and sharing of genetic variation between species through ancestral polymorphisms or natural hybridization have been suggested as key genomic features underpinning evolutionary radiations12,14,...
Heliconius are an excellent model for investigating how behavioural innovation can trigger a cascade of adaptive shifts in multiple diverse, but interrelated, traits. Here, we synthesize current knowledge of pollen feeding in Heliconius , and explore potential interactions between associated, putatively ada...

This paper explores current developments in evolutionary and bio-inspired approaches to autonomous robotics, concentrating on research from our group at the University of Sussex. These developments are discussed in the context of advances in the wider fields of adaptive and evolutionary approaches to AI...
Huxley to Darwin, Nov. 23, 1859, the day before publication of the Origin. Abstract The term adaptive radiation has been recurrently used to describe evolutionary patterns of several lineages, and has been proposed as the main driver of biological diversification. Different definitions and criteria ...
