The Hourglass and the Early Conservation Models-Co-Existing Patterns of Developmental Constraints in Vertebrates

Pawel Lichocki

Developmental constraints have been postulated to limit the space of feasible phenotypes and thus shape animal evolution. These constraints have been suggested to be the strongest during either early or mid-embryogenesis, which corresponds to the early con ...

Geneva, from car-euphoria to opening of the borders

Hanja-Niriana Maksim

Over the last two decades, urban planning has been reapplied in several European countries: common tendencies that underline the reform of planning procedures are the generalization of sustainable development and the reorganization of local government. Bri ...

Differences in the Concept of Fitness Between Artificial Evolution and Natural Selection

Dario Floreano, Pawel Lichocki, Laurent Keller

Evolutionary algorithms were proposed to automatically find solutions to computational problems, much like evolution discovers new adaptive traits. Lately, they have been used to address challenging questions about the evolution of modularity, the genetic ...

Divergent selection in trailing- versus leading-edge populations of Biscutella laevigata

Stéphane Joost

Background and Aims: Knowledge on how climate-induced range shifts might affect natural selection is crucial to understand the evolution of species range. Methods: Using historical demographic perspectives gathered from regional-scale phylogeography on the ...

Atypical relaxation of structural constraints in Hox gene clusters of the green anole lizard

Denis Duboule

Hox genes control many aspects of embryonic development in metazoans. Previous analyses of this gene family revealed a surprising diversity in terms of gene number and organization between various animal species. In vertebrates, Hox genes are grouped into ...

Toll-like receptors--taking an evolutionary approach

Bruno Lemaitre

The Toll receptor was initially identified in Drosophila melanogaster for its role in embryonic development. Subsequently, D. melanogaster Toll and mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been recognized as key regulators of immune responses. After ten y ...

Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions in Micro-, Submicro-, and Nanocrystalline NaNbO3

Arnaud Magrez

Pressure-induced successive phase transitions of micro-, submicro-, and nanocrystalline NaNbO3 particles were investigated by high-pressure Raman spectroscopy. Microcrystalline NaNbO3, which stabilizes in an orthorhombic Pbcm structure at ambient pressure, ...
