Physiology, phylogeny, and LUCA
Genomes record their own history. But if we want to look all the way back to life's beginnings some 4 billion years ago, the record of microbial evolution that is preserved in prokaryotic genomes is not easy to read. Microbiology has a lot in common with geology in that regard. Geologists know that plate tectonics and erosion have erased much of the geological record, with ancient rocks being t...
متن کاملAquaporins: Phylogeny, Structure, and Physiology of Water Channels.
How water permeates cellular membranes and what this means for cell functioning and several diseases are now emerging from the study of the aquaporins (AQPs), the water channel family. A combination of sequence analysis, three-dimensional structure determination, and physiology of the AQP family proteins provides a glimpse into the workings of water channels.
متن کاملPhylogeny and Coadaptation of Thermal Physiology in Lizards: a Reanalysis.
Traditional comparative studies examine evolutionary associations of traits by comparing different species, regardless of their phylogenetic relationships. A problem with such an approach is that trait values for each species are not statistically independent. This is so because species partially share evolutionary histories (Felsenstein, 1985). Another problem is that "equilibrium" patterns se...
متن کاملSocial Monogamy in Nonhuman Primates: Phylogeny, Phenotype, and Physiology.
Monogamy as a social system has been both a scientific puzzle and a sociocultural issue for decades. In this review, we examine social monogamy from a comparative perspective with a focus on primates, our closest genetic relatives. We break down monogamy into component elements, including pair-bonding and partner preference, mate guarding or jealousy, social attachment, and biparental care. Our...
متن کاملHighlights in Seagrasses ’ Phylogeny , Physiology , andMetabolism : What Makes Them Special ?
The marine seagrasses form an ecological and therefore paraphyletic group of marine hydrophilus angiosperms which evolved three to four times from land plants towards an aquatic and marine existence. Their taxonomy is not yet solved on the species level and below due to their reduced morphology. So far also molecular data did not completely solve the phylogenetic relationships. Thus, this group...
