Despite the enormous amount of biological variation and technical uncertainty in sequence data, most phylogenetic workflows propagate a single point estimate throughout the numerous analysis …
The resource specialization hypothesis posits that all consumers exhibit some degree of specialization and thus more diverse plant communities should support a greater diversity of …
Understanding the mechanisms used by organisms living in extreme environments on Earth is a first step towards rationally designing organisms for living in space. The …
I use the whole mitochondrial genome of the northern acorn barnacle, Semibalanus balanoides, to investigate population structure and historical demography across its geographic range. I …
Cancer is an evolutionary process where cells acquire somatic mutations over time. As a result of this process, tumors are often highly heterogeneous — containing …
Most important organismal adaptations are not actually single traits, but complex trait syndromes that are evolutionarily integrated into a single emergent phenotype. In plants, crassulacean …
