Changes in the composition of the RNA virome mark evolutionary transitions in green plants
... Out of 28 species in which we detected matches to any viral RdRP, 19 libraries encoded an RdRP most similar to a homolog from a virus with a dsRNA genome, five had virus replicons most s[r] ...

Evolutionary Transitions Among Dinosaurs: Examples from the Jurassic of China
... Fossil vertebrates — those ancient animals with a bony skeleton—typically preserve only the bones or in rare cases soft tissues such as skin, cartilage, and feathers. DNA is not reliably known from dinosaurs, and recent ...

Evolutionary Transitions in the Fossil Record of Terrestrial Hoofed Mammals
... In this article, I will focus only on the best-documented examples of terrestrial hoofed mammals. These have proven to be historically important, ever since Huxley, Gaudry, and Kowalewsky first documented the fossil ...

Modes of Reproduction and the Accumulation of Deleterious Mutations With Multiplicative Fitness Effects
... Mutational load depends not only on the number and nature of mutations but also on the reproductive mode. Traditionally, only a few specific reproductive modes are considered in the search of explanations for the ...

Allopreening in birds is associated with parental cooperation over offspring care and stable pair bonds across years
... of evolutionary transitions indicate that allopreen- ing most likely evolved when divorce rates were low or coopera- tion over offspring care was high, lending support to the idea that allopreening may have ...
