Supergenes are sets of genes that are inherited as a single marker and encode complex phenotypes through their joint action. They are identified in an increasing number of organisms, yet their origins and evolution remain enigmatic. In Atlantic cod, four
Meta-transcriptomic analysis was used to outline the unique spectral characteristics of the mammalian viruses within these lungs and the ecological and genetic imprints of the novel viruses. Many mammalian- or arthropod- related viruses from distinct evolutionary lineages were reported for the first time...
The labyrinth of the vertebrate inner ear is a sensory system that governs the perception of head rotations. Central hypotheses predict that labyrinth shape and size are related to ecological adaptations, but this is under debate and has rarely been test

Further, the evolution of both oviparity and viviparity are difficult to study from a molecular genetic perspective because they have most frequently occurred at deep evolutionary time scales. Common lizards provide an example of recent parity mode changes and therefore a critical insight to usually ...
Keywords: Acipenseriformes, Acipenseridae, origin, distribution DOI: 10.1134/S0032945223020169 INTRODUCTION The number of studies and publications on the ori- gin, phylogeny, evolution, and systematics of the stur- geon order (Acipenseriformes) and acipenserid family (Acipenseridae) using ...
The neural crest represents a highly multipotent population of embryonic stem cells found only in vertebrate embryos. Acquisition of the neural crest during the evolution of vertebrates was a great advantage, providing Chordata animals with the first cel
The coding privilege of end-spectral hues (red and blue) in the early visual cortex has been reported in primates. However, the origin of such bias remains unclear. Here, we provide a complete picture of the end-spectral bias in visual system by measurin
In all of the systems, points of rotation are depicted with an open circle, the lengths of lever elements are shown with heavy black lines, the outline of muscles are shaded grey, and arrows highlight directionality of movement. The generalized mechanics of the suction index (B) are depicted...
