Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.05.053
Abstract: Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that are critical for human survival. Darwin used domesticated species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ejop.2021.125856
Abstract: Karyorelictids are a group of ciliates inhabiting marine and freshwater biotopes and possessing a non-dividing macronucleus. We describe a new freshwater species based on morphology and the 18S rRNA gene sequence data. Loxodes tziscaensis n.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2021.113791
Abstract: Prolactin (PRL) is a pleiotropic neurohormone secreted by the mammalian pituitary gland into the blood, thus reaching many tissues and organs beyond the brain. PRL binds to its receptor, PRLR, eliciting a molecular signaling cascade.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erae062
Abstract: Plants accumulate high concentrations of ascorbate, commonly in their leaves, as a redox buffer. While ascorbate levels have increased during plant evolution, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are unclear. Moreover, has the increase in ascorbate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2023.03.20.533527
Abstract: There have been almost no studies with an evolutionary perspective on eye (iris) color, outside of humans and domesticated animals. Extant members of the family Felidae have a great interspecific and intraspecific diversity of eye… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1012161
Abstract: Pathogenic Leptospira are spirochete bacteria which cause leptospirosis, a re-emerging zoonotic disease of global importance. Here, we use a recently described lineage of environmental-adapted leptospires, which are evolutionarily the closest relatives of the highly virulent… read more here.
