2008. Past demography in forest trees: what can we learn from nuclear DNA that we do not already know? Plant Ecology & Diversity 1:209-216.Past demography in forest trees:what can we learn from nuclear DNA sequ
Summary. Plants and humans areeukaryotic multicellular living organismsthat both evolved from unicellular protists. Because of this, they share similar structural characteristics, wherein their cells have a nucleus, cellular membranes and a mitochondrion. Is there a difference between human and onion DNA?
Plants, pollen and pollinators are obviously of great importance to humans. People surely passed on knowledge of plants throughout our species' long evolution, but some 11,000 years ago, we drastically changed the game [source: Starr]. That's around the time people began domesticating crop pla...
How much DNA do chimpanzees and humans share? What is the average IQ of a chimpanzee? Where do bonobos sleep? How long do baboons live? How many offspring do chimpanzees have? How do chimpanzees travel? How many chimpanzees are left in the wild?
Malaysia boasts a few marine paradises, but Sipadan is uncommonly remote and wild. The island is an extinct volcanic cone where coral reefs flourish, and palm trees provide scant shade on bone-white beaches. These waters are a catwalk of superstars: head out on a dive and spot big-eye tr...
Given the complexity of the brain and the mechanisms of perception, attention, memory and self-awareness, it is not possible, at least for the time being, to understand in detail how humans construct temporal stories. Fortunately, we now have AI models that allow to understanding how this can...
Citation14,Citation15 The subitizing capability is known to be shared among primates such as humans and chimpanzees.Citation16,Citation17 In addition to primate species, there are plenty of evidence that the subitizing capability could be also found in wild non-primate mammals including lions,...
After running the model, the Hungarian biologists found that aging can indeed accelerate evolution. This is advantageous in a changing world because the faster adaptation can find the adequate traits more quickly, thereby supporting the survival and spread of descendent genes. This means that senescenc...
With the exception of trees based on the major capsid or primase proteins, this conclusion is supported by analysis of individual viral genes (e.g., the DNA-dependent DNA polymerase and DExD helicase) as well as a set of nine core genes (Piegu et al., 2015). In the case of the ...
Bacteria of the genus Borrelia are agents of disease in both domestic animals and humans and pose a significant public health risk. Borrelia species have complex transmission cycles, often using rodents as vertebrate reservoir hosts. These bacteria are classified into three well-defined monophyletic gro...
