statistical analyses detect only weak relationships (if any) between locomotory capabilities and labyrinth shape variation in birds or extinct reptiles after accounting for shared evolutionary history32,33,34(but see ref
The sources of this heterogeneity remain incompletely understood. The combination of genome scans with sophisticated population genetic modelling, quantitative trait locus mapping, admixture analyses and ecology has the potential to distinguish the influence of selection from demographic, historical and structur...
In 1998, Cavalier-Smith renamed DRIP to Ichthyosporea because of their round to ovoid walled spores and life history as parasites of fish (Ichthysin Greek)10. Subsequent studies expanded the DRIPs to include parasites of invertebrates, birds, and mammals. The broader variety of identified host o...

To understand the origin of Pantepui montane biotas, we studied the biogeography of toucanets in the genusAulacorhynchus. These birds are ideal for analyzing historical relationships among Neotropical montane regions, given their geographic distribution from Mexico south to Bolivia, including northern Ve...
Initially, we focused attention on nineteen vertebrate genome sequences of high quality in Ensembl (release 56) accessible at http://www.ensembl.org/index.html, comprising ten mammals (chimpanzee, orangutan, rhesus macaque, mouse, rat, dog, cow, horse, opossum, platypus), two birds (chicken,...
- 《Canadian Journal of Zoology》 被引量: 344发表: 2004年 Lateralisation in a detour test in the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) Detour tests provide a reliable indicator of the presence of visual lateralisation. Previous studies on fishes and birds suggest that preferences in choosi......
Darwin's 1862 book on orchids played an important role in the development of his species theory.Darwin's analogy between artificial and natural selection became restrictive after hisOrigin of SpeciesIt became important for Darwin to emphasize the struggle for reproduction as well as survival.Orchidsde...
Testing the form-function paradigm: body shape correlates with kinematics but not energetics in selectively-bred birds Introduction Flight requires specialised morphology and physiology, and among the extant flying animals, hummingbirds exhibit some of the most extreme adaptations1,2,3,4. Hummingbirds...
