Clostridium chauvoei, an Evolutionary Dead-End Pathogen
Full genome sequences of 20 strains of Clostridium chauvoei, the etiological agent of blackleg of cattle and sheep, isolated from four different continents over a period of 64 years (1951-2015) were determined and analyzed. The study reveals that the genome of the species C. chauvoei is highly homogeneous compared to the closely related species C. perfringens, a widespread pathogen that affects...
متن کاملSympatric Speciation in Insects
Insects are among the most abundant multicellular organisms on earth. Sampling in the tropics and subtropics suggests that there are 10 to 30 million species of insects (Erwin 1982). As a group, invertebrate insects, therefore, represent an inordinately large percentage of the world’s fauna, far outnumbering their larger and more conspicuous vertebrate cousins, such as fish (about 24 000), amph...
متن کاملHomo erectus in East Asia: Human Ancestor or Evolutionary Dead-End?
37 evolution, part of an intractable debate that continues to swirl over the origins of anatomically modern people. Many readers are assuredly familiar with the contours of this debate, between those who advocate a recent, uniregional origin for modern Homo sapiens in Africa (henceforth termed the “recent out of Africa,” or ROA, hypothesis) versus those who support a more deeply rooted, multire...
متن کاملDrug research: dead end or new horizon?
Drug research: dead end or new horizon? Industrial drug research is facing a crisis. Higher investments are necessary for the discovery of fewer drugs, and the return on investment shrinks.1 2 Regulatory constraints3 and financial pressures4 have been blamed for slowing the development of new drugs at a time when truly new discoveries have become rare events. Among the new drugs established in ...
متن کاملEpiphenomenalism: Dead End or Way Out?
Many philosophers take it for granted that epiphenomenalism is obviously a dead end for an understanding of the human mind and its relation to the physical world and nothing but a counterintuitive theory of last resort. Others, by contrast, think that epiphenomenalism might be the way out of some of the severest problems discussed in the philosophy of mind during the past decades. Traditionally...
