    Ancestral developmental potential facilitates parallel evolution in ants (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-10
    Description: Complex worker caste systems have contributed to the evolutionary success of advanced ant societies; however, little is known about the developmental processes underlying their origin and evolution. We combined hormonal manipulation, gene expression, and phylogenetic analyses with field observations to understand how novel worker subcastes evolve. We uncovered an ancestral developmental potential to produce a "supersoldier" subcaste that has been actualized at least two times independently in the hyperdiverse ant genus Pheidole. This potential has been retained and can be environmentally induced throughout the genus. Therefore, the retention and induction of this potential have facilitated the parallel evolution of supersoldiers through a process known as genetic accommodation. The recurrent induction of ancestral developmental potential may facilitate the adaptive and parallel evolution of phenotypes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rajakumar, Rajendhran -- San Mauro, Diego -- Dijkstra, Michiel B -- Huang, Ming H -- Wheeler, Diana E -- Hiou-Tim, Francois -- Khila, Abderrahman -- Cournoyea, Michael -- Abouheif, Ehab -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jan 6;335(6064):79-82. doi: 10.1126/science.1211451.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, McGill University, 1205 Avenue Dr. Penfield, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 1B1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22223805" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 2012-02-22
    Description: McKellar et al. (Reports, 16 September 2011, p. 1619) analyzed Late Cretaceous amber specimens from Canada and identified some filaments as dinosaurian protofeathers. We argue that their analysis and data do not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that such filaments are feather-like structures. Further investigation, including destructive sampling, must be carried out for more convincing conclusions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dove, Carla J -- Straker, Lorian C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 17;335(6070):796; author reply 796. doi: 10.1126/science.1216208.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, Division of Birds, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA. dovec@si.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22344430" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Global correlations in tropical tree species richness and abundance reject neutrality (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-28
    Description: Patterns of species richness and relative abundance at some scales cannot be distinguished from predictions of null models, including zero-sum neutral models of population change and random speciation-extinction models of evolutionary diversification. Both models predict that species richness or population abundance produced by independent iterations of the same processes in different regions should be uncorrelated. We find instead that the number of species and individuals in families of trees in forest plots are strongly correlated across Southeast Asia, Africa, and tropical America. These correlations imply that deterministic processes influenced by evolutionarily conservative family-level traits constrain the number of confamilial tree species and individuals that can be supported in regional species pools and local assemblages in humid tropical forests.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ricklefs, Robert E -- Renner, Susanne S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jan 27;335(6067):464-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1215182.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of Missouri-St. Louis, MO 63121-4499, USA. ricklefs@umsl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22282811" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Ecological context influences epidemic size and parasite-driven evolution (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-31
    Description: The occurrence and magnitude of disease outbreaks can strongly influence host evolution. In particular, when hosts face a resistance-fecundity trade-off, they might evolve increased resistance to infection during larger epidemics but increased susceptibility during smaller ones. We tested this theoretical prediction by using a zooplankton-yeast host-parasite system in which ecological factors determine epidemic size. Lakes with high productivity and low predation pressure had large yeast epidemics; during these outbreaks, hosts became more resistant to infection. However, with low productivity and high predation, epidemics remained small and hosts evolved increased susceptibility. Thus, by modulating disease outbreaks, ecological context (productivity and predation) shaped host evolution during epidemics. Consequently, anthropogenic alteration of productivity and predation might strongly influence both ecological and evolutionary outcomes of disease.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Duffy, Meghan A -- Ochs, Jessica Housley -- Penczykowski, Rachel M -- Civitello, David J -- Klausmeier, Christopher A -- Hall, Spencer R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 30;335(6076):1636-8. doi: 10.1126/science.1215429.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Biology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0230, USA. duffy@gatech.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22461614" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 2012-06-30
    Description: Ricklefs and Renner (Reports, 27 January 2012, p. 464) suggested that strong correlations in the diversity of shared families between isolated tree assemblages reject neutrality. Simulations of a neutral model indicate, however, that isolated assemblages under various configurations of random speciation and extinction do sustain strong correlations in the diversity of shared families. Thus, reported correlations support rather than reject neutral theory.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mora, Camilo -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jun 29;336(6089):1639; author reply 1639. doi: 10.1126/science.1220980.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Geography, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA. cmora@hawaii.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22745402" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 2012-03-01
    Description: de Jager et al. (Reports, 24 June 2011, p. 1551) concluded that mussels Levy walk. We confronted a larger model set with these data and found that mussels do not Levy walk: Their movement is best described by a composite Brownian walk. This shows how model selection based on an impoverished set of candidate models can lead to incorrect inferences.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jansen, Vincent A A -- Mashanova, Alla -- Petrovskii, Sergei -- BB/G007934/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 24;335(6071):918; author reply 918. doi: 10.1126/science.1215747.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway, University of London, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK. vincent.jansen@rhul.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22362991" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Centrosome loss in the evolution of planarians (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-10
    Description: The centrosome, a cytoplasmic organelle formed by cylinder-shaped centrioles surrounded by a microtubule-organizing matrix, is a hallmark of animal cells. The centrosome is conserved and essential for the development of all animal species described so far. Here, we show that planarians, and possibly other flatworms, lack centrosomes. In planarians, centrioles are only assembled in terminally differentiating ciliated cells through the acentriolar pathway to trigger the assembly of cilia. We identified a large set of conserved proteins required for centriole assembly in animals and note centrosome protein families that are missing from the planarian genome. Our study uncovers the molecular architecture and evolution of the animal centrosome and emphasizes the plasticity of animal cell biology and development.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3347778/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3347778/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Azimzadeh, Juliette -- Wong, Mei Lie -- Downhour, Diane Miller -- Sanchez Alvarado, Alejandro -- Marshall, Wallace F -- GM077004/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM57260/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM057260/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM077004/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 GM057260/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jan 27;335(6067):461-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1214457.

    Multidimensional optimality of microbial metabolism (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-05-05
    Description: Although the network topology of metabolism is well known, understanding the principles that govern the distribution of fluxes through metabolism lags behind. Experimentally, these fluxes can be measured by (13)C-flux analysis, and there has been a long-standing interest in understanding this functional network operation from an evolutionary perspective. On the basis of (13)C-determined fluxes from nine bacteria and multi-objective optimization theory, we show that metabolism operates close to the Pareto-optimal surface of a three-dimensional space defined by competing objectives. Consistent with flux data from evolved Escherichia coli, we propose that flux states evolve under the trade-off between two principles: optimality under one given condition and minimal adjustment between conditions. These principles form the forces by which evolution shapes metabolic fluxes in microorganisms' environmental context.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schuetz, Robert -- Zamboni, Nicola -- Zampieri, Mattia -- Heinemann, Matthias -- Sauer, Uwe -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 May 4;336(6081):601-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1216882.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22556256" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolution of shape by multiple regulatory changes to a growth gene (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-01
    Description: The genetic changes responsible for morphological differences between species are largely unidentified. Such changes can involve modifications of growth that are relevant to understanding evolution, development, and disease. We identified a gene that induces male-specific wing size and shape differences between Nasonia wasp species. Fine-scale mapping and in situ hybridization reveal that changes in at least three regions (two strictly in noncoding sequence) around the gene unpaired-like (upd-like) cause changes in spatial and temporal expression of upd-like in the developing wing and corresponding changes in wing width. Upd-like shows homology to the Drosophila unpaired gene, a well-studied signaling protein that regulates cell proliferation and differentiation. Our results indicate how multiple changes in the regulation of upd-like are involved in microevolution of morphological and sex-specific differences between species.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3520604/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3520604/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Loehlin, David W -- Werren, John H -- 5R01 GM070026-04/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- 5R24 GM084917-04/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM070026/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R24 GM084917/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 24;335(6071):943-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1215193.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA. loehlin@wisc.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22363002" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Oxytocin/vasopressin-related peptides have an ancient role in reproductive behavior (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-11-01
    Description: Many biological functions are conserved, but the extent to which conservation applies to integrative behaviors is unknown. Vasopressin and oxytocin neuropeptides are strongly implicated in mammalian reproductive and social behaviors, yet rodent loss-of-function mutants have relatively subtle behavioral defects. Here we identify an oxytocin/vasopressin-like signaling system in Caenorhabditis elegans, consisting of a peptide and two receptors that are expressed in sexually dimorphic patterns. Males lacking the peptide or its receptors perform poorly in reproductive behaviors, including mate search, mate recognition, and mating, but other sensorimotor behaviors are intact. Quantitative analysis indicates that mating motor patterns are fragmented and inefficient in mutants, suggesting that oxytocin/vasopressin peptides increase the coherence of mating behaviors. These results indicate that conserved molecules coordinate diverse behavioral motifs in reproductive behavior.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3597094/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3597094/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Garrison, Jennifer L -- Macosko, Evan Z -- Bernstein, Samantha -- Pokala, Navin -- Albrecht, Dirk R -- Bargmann, Cornelia I -- GM07739/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- K99 GM092859/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- K99GM092859/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Oct 26;338(6106):540-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1226201.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Lulu and Anthony Wang Laboratory of Neural Circuits and Behavior, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY 10065, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23112335" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Bilaterian burrows and grazing behavior at 〉585 million years ago (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-06-30
    Description: Based on molecular clocks and biomarker studies, it is possible that bilaterian life emerged early in the Ediacaran, but at present, no fossils or trace fossils from this time have been reported. Here we report the discovery of the oldest bilaterian burrows in shallow-water glaciomarine sediments from the Tacuari Formation, Uruguay. Uranium-lead dating of zircons in cross-cutting granite dykes constrains the age of these burrows to be at least 585 million years old. Their features indicate infaunal grazing activity by early eumetazoans. Active backfill within the burrow, an ability to wander upward and downward to exploit shallowly situated sedimentary laminae, and sinuous meandering suggest advanced behavioral adaptations. These findings unite the paleontological and molecular data pertaining to the evolution of bilaterians, and link bilaterian origins to the environmental changes that took place during the Neoproterozoic glaciations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pecoits, Ernesto -- Konhauser, Kurt O -- Aubet, Natalie R -- Heaman, Larry M -- Veroslavsky, Gerardo -- Stern, Richard A -- Gingras, Murray K -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jun 29;336(6089):1693-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1216295.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3, Canada. epecoits@ualberta.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22745427" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolutionary trade-offs, Pareto optimality, and the geometry of phenotype space (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-04-28
    Description: Biological systems that perform multiple tasks face a fundamental trade-off: A given phenotype cannot be optimal at all tasks. Here we ask how trade-offs affect the range of phenotypes found in nature. Using the Pareto front concept from economics and engineering, we find that best-trade-off phenotypes are weighted averages of archetypes--phenotypes specialized for single tasks. For two tasks, phenotypes fall on the line connecting the two archetypes, which could explain linear trait correlations, allometric relationships, as well as bacterial gene-expression patterns. For three tasks, phenotypes fall within a triangle in phenotype space, whose vertices are the archetypes, as evident in morphological studies, including on Darwin's finches. Tasks can be inferred from measured phenotypes based on the behavior of organisms nearest the archetypes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shoval, O -- Sheftel, H -- Shinar, G -- Hart, Y -- Ramote, O -- Mayo, A -- Dekel, E -- Kavanagh, K -- Alon, U -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jun 1;336(6085):1157-60. doi: 10.1126/science.1217405.

    Australopithecus afarensis scapular ontogeny, function, and the role of climbing in human evolution (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-11-01
    Description: Scapular morphology is predictive of locomotor adaptations among primates, but this skeletal element is scarce in the hominin fossil record. Notably, both scapulae of the juvenile Australopithecus afarensis skeleton from Dikika, Ethiopia, have been recovered. These scapulae display several traits characteristic of suspensory apes, as do the few known fragmentary adult australopith representatives. Many of these traits change significantly throughout modern human ontogeny, but remain stable in apes. Thus, the similarity of juvenile and adult fossil morphologies implies that A. afarensis development was apelike. Additionally, changes in other scapular traits throughout African ape development are associated with shifts in locomotor behavior. This affirms the functional relevance of those characteristics, and their presence in australopith fossils supports the hypothesis that their locomotor repertoire included a substantial amount of climbing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Green, David J -- Alemseged, Zeresenay -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Oct 26;338(6106):514-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1227123.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Anatomy, Midwestern University, Downers Grove, IL 60515, USA. dgreen1@midwestern.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23112331" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Feathered non-avian dinosaurs from North America provide insight into wing origins (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-11-01
    Description: Previously described feathered dinosaurs reveal a fascinating record of feather evolution, although substantial phylogenetic gaps remain. Here we report the occurrence of feathers in ornithomimosaurs, a clade of non-maniraptoran theropods for which fossilized feathers were previously unknown. The Ornithomimus specimens, recovered from Upper Cretaceous deposits of Alberta, Canada, provide new insights into dinosaur plumage and the origin of the avian wing. Individuals from different growth stages reveal the presence of a filamentous feather covering throughout life and winglike structures on the forelimbs of adults. The appearance of winglike structures in older animals indicates that they may have evolved in association with reproductive behaviors. These specimens show that primordial wings originated earlier than previously thought, among non-maniraptoran theropods.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zelenitsky, Darla K -- Therrien, Francois -- Erickson, Gregory M -- DeBuhr, Christopher L -- Kobayashi, Yoshitsugu -- Eberth, David A -- Hadfield, Frank -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Oct 26;338(6106):510-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1225376.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Geoscience, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada. dkzeleni@ucalgary.ca〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23112330" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The centrosome in cells and organisms (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-01-28
    Description: The centrosome acts as the main microtubule-nucleating organelle in animal cells and plays a critical role in mitotic spindle orientation and in genome stability. Yet, despite its central role in cell biology, the centrosome is not present in all multicellular organisms or in all cells of a given organism. The main outcome of centrosome reproduction is the transmission of polarity to daughter cells and, in most animal species, the sperm-donated centrosome defines embryo polarity. Here I will discuss the role of the centrosome in cell polarity, resulting from its ability to position the nucleus at the cell center, and discuss how centrosome innovation might have been critical during metazoan evolution.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bornens, Michel -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jan 27;335(6067):422-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1209037.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉UMR144 du Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique, Institut Curie, 26 rue d'Ulm, Paris Cedex 05, France. mbornens@curie.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22282802" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolutionary conservation of species' roles in food webs (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-24
    Description: Studies of ecological networks (the web of interactions between species in a community) demonstrate an intricate link between a community's structure and its long-term viability. It remains unclear, however, how much a community's persistence depends on the identities of the species present, or how much the role played by each species varies as a function of the community in which it is found. We measured species' roles by studying how species are embedded within the overall network and the subsequent dynamic implications. Using data from 32 empirical food webs, we find that species' roles and dynamic importance are inherent species attributes and can be extrapolated across communities on the basis of taxonomic classification alone. Our results illustrate the variability of roles across species and communities and the relative importance of distinct species groups when attempting to conserve ecological communities.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stouffer, Daniel B -- Sales-Pardo, Marta -- Sirer, M Irmak -- Bascompte, Jordi -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 23;335(6075):1489-92. doi: 10.1126/science.1216556.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Integrative Ecology Group, Estacion Biologica de Donana (EBD-CSIC), Sevilla, Spain.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22442483" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Reconstruction of Microraptor and the evolution of iridescent plumage (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-10
    Description: Iridescent feather colors involved in displays of many extant birds are produced by nanoscale arrays of melanin-containing organelles (melanosomes). Data relevant to the evolution of these colors and the properties of melanosomes involved in their generation have been limited. A data set sampling variables of extant avian melanosomes reveals that those forming most iridescent arrays are distinctly narrow. Quantitative comparison of these data with melanosome imprints densely sampled from a previously unknown specimen of the Early Cretaceous feathered Microraptor predicts that its plumage was predominantly iridescent. The capacity for simple iridescent arrays is thus minimally inferred in paravian dinosaurs. This finding and estimation of Microraptor feathering consistent with an ornamental function for the tail suggest a centrality for signaling in early evolution of plumage and feather color.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, Quanguo -- Gao, Ke-Qin -- Meng, Qingjin -- Clarke, Julia A -- Shawkey, Matthew D -- D'Alba, Liliana -- Pei, Rui -- Ellison, Mick -- Norell, Mark A -- Vinther, Jakob -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 9;335(6073):1215-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1213780.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Beijing Museum of Natural History, 126 Tianqiao South Street, Beijing 100050, People's Republic of China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22403389" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Ricklefs and Renner (Reports, 27 January 2012, p. 464) showed correlations of species richness and individual abundance within families across continents and claimed that neutral theory predicts no such correlation. However, they did not substantiate this claim quantitatively with a neutral model. Here, we show that neutral theory can be consistent with these correlations and, consequently, that the correlations alone cannot reject neutrality.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Etienne, Rampal S -- Rosindell, James -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jun 29;336(6089):1639; author reply 1639. doi: 10.1126/science.1222056.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Community and Conservation Ecology, Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies, University of Groningen, Box 11103, 9700 CC Groningen, Netherlands.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22745401" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 2012-11-20
    Description: In mammals, hearing is dependent on three canonical processing stages: (i) an eardrum collecting sound, (ii) a middle ear impedance converter, and (iii) a cochlear frequency analyzer. Here, we show that some insects, such as rainforest katydids, possess equivalent biophysical mechanisms for auditory processing. Although katydid ears are among the smallest in all organisms, these ears perform the crucial stage of air-to-liquid impedance conversion and signal amplification, with the use of a distinct tympanal lever system. Further along the chain of hearing, spectral sound analysis is achieved through dispersive wave propagation across a fluid substrate, as in the mammalian cochlea. Thus, two phylogenetically remote organisms, katydids and mammals, have evolved a series of convergent solutions to common biophysical problems, despite their reliance on very different morphological substrates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Montealegre-Z, Fernando -- Jonsson, Thorin -- Robson-Brown, Kate A -- Postles, Matthew -- Robert, Daniel -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Nov 16;338(6109):968-71. doi: 10.1126/science.1225271.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1UG, UK. fmontealegrez@lincoln.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23162003" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Insect herbivores drive real-time ecological and evolutionary change in plant populations (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-10-09
    Description: Insect herbivores are hypothesized to be major factors affecting the ecology and evolution of plants. We tested this prediction by suppressing insects in replicated field populations of a native plant, Oenothera biennis, which reduced seed predation, altered interspecific competitive dynamics, and resulted in rapid evolutionary divergence. Comparative genotyping and phenotyping of nearly 12,000 O. biennis individuals revealed that in plots protected from insects, resistance to herbivores declined through time owing to changes in flowering time and lower defensive ellagitannins in fruits, whereas plant competitive ability increased. This independent real-time evolution of plant resistance and competitive ability in the field resulted from the relaxation of direct selective effects of insects on plant defense and through indirect effects due to reduced herbivory on plant competitors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Agrawal, Anurag A -- Hastings, Amy P -- Johnson, Marc T J -- Maron, John L -- Salminen, Juha-Pekka -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Oct 5;338(6103):113-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1225977.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA. agrawal@cornell.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23042894" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Physico-genetic determinants in the evolution of development (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-10-16
    Description: Animal bodies and the embryos that generate them exhibit an assortment of stereotypic morphological motifs that first appeared more than half a billion years ago. During development, cells arrange themselves into tissues with interior cavities and multiple layers with immiscible boundaries, containing patterned arrangements of cell types. These tissues go on to elongate, fold, segment, and form appendages. Their motifs are similar to the outcomes of physical processes generic to condensed, chemically excitable, viscoelastic materials, although the embryonic mechanisms that generate them are typically much more complex. I propose that the origins of animal development lay in the mobilization of physical organizational effects that resulted when certain gene products of single-celled ancestors came to operate on the spatial scale of multicellular aggregates.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Newman, Stuart A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Oct 12;338(6104):217-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1222003.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY 10595, USA. newman@nymc.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23066074" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genomic variation in seven Khoe-San groups reveals adaptation and complex African history (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-09-22
    Description: The history of click-speaking Khoe-San, and African populations in general, remains poorly understood. We genotyped ~2.3 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 220 southern Africans and found that the Khoe-San diverged from other populations 〉/=100,000 years ago, but population structure within the Khoe-San dated back to about 35,000 years ago. Genetic variation in various sub-Saharan populations did not localize the origin of modern humans to a single geographic region within Africa; instead, it indicated a history of admixture and stratification. We found evidence of adaptation targeting muscle function and immune response; potential adaptive introgression of protection from ultraviolet light; and selection predating modern human diversification, involving skeletal and neurological development. These new findings illustrate the importance of African genomic diversity in understanding human evolutionary history.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Schlebusch, Carina M -- Skoglund, Pontus -- Sjodin, Per -- Gattepaille, Lucie M -- Hernandez, Dena -- Jay, Flora -- Li, Sen -- De Jongh, Michael -- Singleton, Andrew -- Blum, Michael G B -- Soodyall, Himla -- Jakobsson, Mattias -- Z01 AG000932-04/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Oct 19;338(6105):374-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1227721.

    Description: Ricklefs and Renner (Reports, 27 January 2012, p. 464) have argued that the neutral theory of biodiversity and biogeography cannot explain the correlations in family abundances and species richness found between tropical forests from distinct continents.

    Evolution of the earliest horses driven by climate change in the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (2012)

    Publication Date: 2012-03-01
    Description: Body size plays a critical role in mammalian ecology and physiology. Previous research has shown that many mammals became smaller during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), but the timing and magnitude of that change relative to climate change have been unclear. A high-resolution record of continental climate and equid body size change shows a directional size decrease of ~30% over the first ~130,000 years of the PETM, followed by a ~76% increase in the recovery phase of the PETM. These size changes are negatively correlated with temperature inferred from oxygen isotopes in mammal teeth and were probably driven by shifts in temperature and possibly high atmospheric CO(2) concentrations. These findings could be important for understanding mammalian evolutionary responses to future global warming.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Secord, Ross -- Bloch, Jonathan I -- Chester, Stephen G B -- Boyer, Doug M -- Wood, Aaron R -- Wing, Scott L -- Kraus, Mary J -- McInerney, Francesca A -- Krigbaum, John -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 24;335(6071):959-62. doi: 10.1126/science.1213859.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68588, USA. rsecord2@unl.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22363006" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Evolution of a vertebrate social decision-making network (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-06-02
    Description: Animals evaluate and respond to their social environment with adaptive decisions. Revealing the neural mechanisms of such decisions is a major goal in biology. We analyzed expression profiles for 10 neurochemical genes across 12 brain regions important for decision-making in 88 species representing five vertebrate lineages. We found that behaviorally relevant brain regions are remarkably conserved over 450 million years of evolution. We also find evidence that different brain regions have experienced different selection pressures, because spatial distribution of neuroendocrine ligands are more flexible than their receptors across vertebrates. Our analysis suggests that the diversity of social behavior in vertebrates can be explained, in part, by variations on a theme of conserved neural and gene expression networks.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'Connell, Lauren A -- Hofmann, Hans A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Jun 1;336(6085):1154-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1218889.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology and Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22654056" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-03-17
    Description: Although an African origin of the modern human species is generally accepted, the evolutionary processes involved in the speciation, geographical spread, and eventual extinction of archaic humans outside of Africa are much debated. An additional complexity has been the recent evidence of limited interbreeding between modern humans and the Neandertals and Denisovans. Modern human migrations and interactions began during the buildup to the Last Glacial Maximum, starting about 100,000 years ago. By examining the history of other organisms through glacial cycles, valuable models for evolutionary biogeography can be formulated. According to one such model, the adoption of a new refugium by a subgroup of a species may lead to important evolutionary changes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stewart, J R -- Stringer, C B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 16;335(6074):1317-21. doi: 10.1126/science.1215627.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Applied Sciences, Bournemouth University, Talbot Campus, Poole, Dorset, UK. jstewart@bournemouth.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22422974" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Publication Date: 2012-02-04
    Description: The extent to which random processes such as founder events contribute to evolutionary divergence is a long-standing controversy in evolutionary biology. To determine the respective contributions of founder effects and natural selection, we conducted an experiment in which brown anole (Anolis sagrei) lizard populations were established on seven small islands in the Bahamas, from male-female pairs randomly drawn from the same large-island source. These founding events generated significant among-island genetic and morphological differences that persisted throughout the course of the experiment despite all populations adapting in the predicted direction-shorter hindlimbs-in response to the narrower vegetation on the small islands. Thus, using a replicated experiment in nature, we showed that both founder effects and natural selection jointly determine trait values in these populations.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kolbe, Jason J -- Leal, Manuel -- Schoener, Thomas W -- Spiller, David A -- Losos, Jonathan B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Mar 2;335(6072):1086-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1209566.

    Publication Date: 2012-05-19
    Description: The view of humans as violent war-prone apes is poorly supported by archaeological evidence and only partly supported by the behavior of our closest primate relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos. Whereas the first species is marked by xenophobia, the second is relatively peaceful and highly empathic in both behavior and brain organization. Animal empathy is best regarded as a multilayered phenomenon, built around motor mirroring and shared neural representations at basal levels, that develops into more advanced cognitive perspective-taking in large-brained species. As indicated by both observational and experimental studies on our closest relatives, empathy may be the main motivator of prosocial behavior.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉de Waal, Frans B M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 May 18;336(6083):874-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1220999.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Living Links, Yerkes National Primate Research Center; and Department of Psychology, Emory University, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA. dewaal@emory.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22605767" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Nuclear genomic sequences reveal that polar bears are an old and distinct bear lineage (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-04-21
    Description: Recent studies have shown that the polar bear matriline (mitochondrial DNA) evolved from a brown bear lineage since the late Pleistocene, potentially indicating rapid speciation and adaption to arctic conditions. Here, we present a high-resolution data set from multiple independent loci across the nuclear genomes of a broad sample of polar, brown, and black bears. Bayesian coalescent analyses place polar bears outside the brown bear clade and date the divergence much earlier, in the middle Pleistocene, about 600 (338 to 934) thousand years ago. This provides more time for polar bear evolution and confirms previous suggestions that polar bears carry introgressed brown bear mitochondrial DNA due to past hybridization. Our results highlight that multilocus genomic analyses are crucial for an accurate understanding of evolutionary history.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hailer, Frank -- Kutschera, Verena E -- Hallstrom, Bjorn M -- Klassert, Denise -- Fain, Steven R -- Leonard, Jennifer A -- Arnason, Ulfur -- Janke, Axel -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Apr 20;336(6079):344-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1216424.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre, Senckenberg Gesellschaft fur Naturforschung, Senckenberganlage 25, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. frashai@gmx.net〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22517859" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Few data are available on how quickly free-living microorganisms evolve. We analyzed biofilms collected from a well-defined acid mine drainage system over 9 years to investigate the processes and determine rates of bacterial evolution directly in the environment. Population metagenomic analyses of the dominant primary producer yielded the nucleotide substitution rate, which we used to show that proliferation of a series of recombinant bacterial strains occurred over the past few decades. The ecological success of hybrid bacterial types highlights the role of evolutionary processes in rapid adaptation within natural microbial communities.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Denef, Vincent J -- Banfield, Jillian F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Apr 27;336(6080):462-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1218389.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22539719" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Comparative analysis of bat genomes provides insight into the evolution of flight and immunity (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-12-22
    Description: Bats are the only mammals capable of sustained flight and are notorious reservoir hosts for some of the world's most highly pathogenic viruses, including Nipah, Hendra, Ebola, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). To identify genetic changes associated with the development of bat-specific traits, we performed whole-genome sequencing and comparative analyses of two distantly related species, fruit bat Pteropus alecto and insectivorous bat Myotis davidii. We discovered an unexpected concentration of positively selected genes in the DNA damage checkpoint and nuclear factor kappaB pathways that may be related to the origin of flight, as well as expansion and contraction of important gene families. Comparison of bat genomes with other mammalian species has provided new insights into bat biology and evolution.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhang, Guojie -- Cowled, Christopher -- Shi, Zhengli -- Huang, Zhiyong -- Bishop-Lilly, Kimberly A -- Fang, Xiaodong -- Wynne, James W -- Xiong, Zhiqiang -- Baker, Michelle L -- Zhao, Wei -- Tachedjian, Mary -- Zhu, Yabing -- Zhou, Peng -- Jiang, Xuanting -- Ng, Justin -- Yang, Lan -- Wu, Lijun -- Xiao, Jin -- Feng, Yue -- Chen, Yuanxin -- Sun, Xiaoqing -- Zhang, Yong -- Marsh, Glenn A -- Crameri, Gary -- Broder, Christopher C -- Frey, Kenneth G -- Wang, Lin-Fa -- Wang, Jun -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Jan 25;339(6118):456-60. doi: 10.1126/science.1230835.
