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. ...

genetic and developmental mechanisms driving tail-length differences between forest and prairie ecotypes of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). We first show that long-tailed forest mice perform better in an arboreal locomotion assay, consistent
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 ...
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...

Understanding how organisms adapt to these various extreme environments can make a significant contribution to the study of species divergence and evolutionary ecology. Generally, in response to the bioclimatic conditions, plants can generate particular structures and physiological features, and furthermore ...
Proteomics, a comprehensive investigation into the protein make up and dynamics within living organisms, has greatly advanced our understanding of salt-tolerance mechanisms in sugar beet [99]. In recent years, numerous proteomic studies have shed light on how sugar beet responds to salt stress, reve...
This review sought to compile the scattered literature on the many different but closely related species of the P. fluorescens complex. The data summarized herein contribute to recognizing resistance profiles that are probably associated with intrinsic properties, indicating the features that might be pre...
