Tracing Evolutionary Links between Species
The idea that all life on earth traces back to a common beginning dates back at least to Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species. Ever since, biologists have tried to piece together parts of this ‘tree of life’ based on what we can observe today: fossils, and the evolutionary signal that is present in the genomes and phenotypes of different organisms. Mathematics has played a key role in helping tra...
متن کاملEstablishing the relationship between stomatal conductance and microclimate through a model of stomatal conductance
through a model of stomatal conductance Jinzhi Wang Introduction I came to CGREC on May 7, 2008 to work under the direction of Dr. Xuejun Dong, eco-physiologist at the Center. His work involves the relationship between environmental factors (precipitation, temperature, and radiation) and soil respiration and plant physiology (leaf photosynthetic rates and leaf area index) of dominant species. O...
متن کاملBiological causal links on physiological and evolutionary time scales.
Correlation does not imply causation. If two variables, say A and B, are correlated, it could be because A causes B, or that B causes A, or because a third factor affects them both. We suggest that in many cases in biology, the causal link might be bi-directional: A causes B through a fast-acting physiological process, while B causes A through a slowly accumulating evolutionary process. Further...
متن کاملGenetic data showing evolutionary links between Leishmania and Endotrypanum.
Striking similarities at the morphological, molecular and biological levels exist between many trypanosomatids isolated from sylvatic insects and/or vertebrate reservoir hosts that make the identification of medically important parasites demanding. Some molecular data have pointed to the relationship between some Leishmania species and Endotrypanum, which has an important epidemiological signif...
متن کاملRegulatory links between imprinted genes: evolutionary predictions and consequences
Genomic imprinting is essential for development and growth and plays diverse roles in physiology and behaviour. Imprinted genes have traditionally been studied in isolation or in clusters with respect to cis-acting modes of gene regulation, both from a mechanistic and evolutionary point of view. Recent studies in mammals, however, reveal that imprinted genes are often co-regulated and are part ...
