Co-expression network analysis of environmental canalization in the ascidian Ciona
Canalization, or buffering, is defined as developmental stability in the face of genetic and/or environmental perturbations. Understanding how canalization works is important in predicting how species survive ... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)

Incipient speciation between host-plant strains in the fall armyworm
Recent advancement in speciation biology proposes that genetic differentiation across the whole genome (genomic differentiation, GD) may occur at the beginning of a speciation process and that GD itself may ac... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)

Reduced olfactory acuity in recently flightless insects suggests rapid regressive evolution
Insects have exceptionally fast smelling capabilities, and some can track the temporal structure of odour plumes at rates above 100 Hz. It has been hypothesized that this fast smelling capability is an adaptat... (Source: BMC Evolutionary Biology)
