population genetics of parasitic nematodes in wild animals. We examine the population genetics of parasitic nematodes in wild animals that have undergone recent habitat change, asking how parasite populations respond to anthropogenic influences on natural systems. Finally, we assess future prospects in the...
Evolution of Newts Newts are a group of aquatic salamanders that have undergone a fascinating evolution over time. They are believed to have originated around 180 million years ago during the Jurassic period. While the exact lineage of newts is not entirely clear, scientists believe that they are...
misspelled as “anthropod,” but this is not the correct term. They can be found in nearly every environment on the planet, and they currently account for over half of all known living organisms in the world. They have undergone many cycles of evolution depending on the resources available ...
The Editors of Virology Journal felt that it would be timely and appropriate to relaunch a new call for papers to be published in this thematic series. This collection of articles has not been sponsored and articles have undergone the journal’s standard peer-review process. The Guest Editors ...
New fossil brings us a step closer to unravelling the mystery of feather evolution - By Zixiao Yang , Maria McNamara , University College Cork , The Conversation - Strong but light, beautiful and precisely structured, feathers are the most complex skin appendage that ever evolved in vertebrates...

From a functional population genomics perspective, detection of outlier genomic loci exhibiting signatures of selective sweeps identified several plausible candidate genes that may have undergone rapid microevolution during and soon after goat domestication. Prominent among these were genes for pigmentation prot...
It’s high time we recognized that animals also have to adapt to these changes, but this is occurring over a far shorter timescale than would have occurred through most of evolutionary time. The climate change that we have created is heaping a whole lot of pressure on them, and while ...
Evolution and Origins Dragonflies are an ancient species of insects that have existed for over 300 million years. They belong to the order Odonata, which also includes damselflies. The earliest dragonflies were much larger than the dragonflies we see today, with some species having wingspans of ov...
Over the course of time, millipedes have undergone evolution to adapt to their environment, and in this article, we will discuss their evolution and origins. The earliest millipedes were thought to have evolved from a group of ancient arthropods known as the myriapods, which included centipedes,...
