Evolution

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    A long lost key opens an ancient lock: Drosophila Myb causes a synthetic multivulval phenotype in nematodes
    Paul J. Vorster, Paul Goetsch, Tilini U. Wijeratne, Keelan Z. Guiley, Laura Andrejka, Sarvind Tripathi, Braden J. Larson, Seth M. Rubin, Susan Strome, Joseph S. Lipsick
    Biology Open 2020 9: bio051508 doi: 10.1242/bio.051508 Published 7 May 2020

    Summary: Despite nematodes having lost their animal-type Myb proteins 500 million years ago, the Caenorhabditis elegans MuvB complex still functionally interacts with the Drosophila melanogaster Myb protein in vitro and in vivo.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Accuracy of fruit-fly eclosion rhythms evolves by strengthening circadian gating rather than developmental fine-tuning
    Vishwanath Varma, Shambhavi Krishna, Manishi Srivastava, Vijay Kumar Sharma, Vasu Sheeba
    Biology Open 2019 8: bio042176 doi: 10.1242/bio.042176 Published 27 August 2019

    Summary: Fruit fly populations that have evolved greater accuracy of eclosion rhythms show enhanced gating of their eclosion by circadian clocks but not reduced variation in clock-independent developmental processes.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Evolution and multiple origins of zona pellucida genes in vertebrates
    Jin-Mei Feng, Hai-Feng Tian, Qiao-Mu Hu, Yan Meng, Han-Bing Xiao
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio036137 doi: 10.1242/bio.036137 Published 13 November 2018

    Summary: Phylogenetic and synteny analyses indicate that the vertebrate zona pellucida (ZP) genes encoding egg coat proteins can be classified into eight subfamilies, and the evolutionary origins of these genes are discussed.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Extending chemical perturbations of the ubiquitin fitness landscape in a classroom setting reveals new constraints on sequence tolerance
    David Mavor, Kyle A. Barlow, Daniel Asarnow, Yuliya Birman, Derek Britain, Weilin Chen, Evan M. Green, Lillian R. Kenner, Bruk Mensa, Leanna S. Morinishi, Charlotte A. Nelson, Erin M. Poss, Pooja Suresh, Ruilin Tian, Taylor Arhar, Beatrice E. Ary, David P. Bauer, Ian D. Bergman, Rachel M. Brunetti, Cynthia M. Chio, Shizhong A. Dai, Miles S. Dickinson, Susanna K. Elledge, Cole V. M. Helsell, Nathan L. Hendel, Emily Kang, Nadja Kern, Matvei S. Khoroshkin, Lisa L. Kirkemo, Greyson R. Lewis, Kevin Lou, Wesley M. Marin, Alison M. Maxwell, Peter F. McTigue, Douglas Myers-Turnbull, Tamas L. Nagy, Andrew M. Natale, Keely Oltion, Sergei Pourmal, Gabriel K. Reder, Nicholas J. Rettko, Peter J. Rohweder, Daniel M. C Schwarz, Sophia K. Tan, Paul V. Thomas, Ryan W. Tibble, Jason P. Town, Mary K. Tsai, Fatima S. Ugur, Douglas R. Wassarman, Alexander M. Wolff, Taia S. Wu, Derek Bogdanoff, Jennifer Li, Kurt S. Thorn, Shane O'Conchúir, Danielle L. Swaney, Eric D. Chow, Hiten D. Madhani, Sy Redding, Daniel N. Bolon, Tanja Kortemme, Joseph L. DeRisi, Martin Kampmann, James S. Fraser
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio036103 doi: 10.1242/bio.036103 Published 23 July 2018

    Summary: We organized a project-based course that used deep mutational scanning of ubiquitin to resolve the inconsistencies between tolerance to mutations in laboratory conditions and sequence conservation over evolutionary timescales.

  • MEETING REVIEW
    Symbiosis in the microbial world: from ecology to genome evolution
    Jean-Baptiste Raina, Laura Eme, F. Joseph Pollock, Anja Spang, John M. Archibald, Tom A. Williams
    Biology Open 2018 7: bio032524 doi: 10.1242/bio.032524 Published 22 February 2018

    Summary: At a recent Company of Biologists workshop, evolutionary biologists discussed the major outstanding questions in symbiosis research.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Apical and basal epitheliomuscular F-actin dynamics during Hydra bud evagination
    Roland Aufschnaiter, Roland Wedlich-Söldner, Xiaoming Zhang, Bert Hobmayer
    Biology Open 2017 6: 1137-1148; doi: 10.1242/bio.022723

    Summary: Transgenic Lifeact-GFP Hydra polyps provide a powerful system for live imaging of actin dynamics during morphogenesis and development of a simple and ancestral animal model.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Senescence gives insights into the morphogenetic evolution of anamniotes
    Éric Villiard, Jean-François Denis, Faranak Sadat Hashemi, Sebastian Igelmann, Gerardo Ferbeyre, Stéphane Roy
    Biology Open 2017 6: 891-896; doi: 10.1242/bio.025809

    Summary: We report the presence of senescent cells in several transient structures in developing amphibian and teleost fish, suggesting novel mechanisms of morphogenesis that appeared early in vertebrate evolution.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Oviposition preferences for ethanol depend on spatial arrangement and differ dramatically among closely related Drosophila species
    Matt Sumethasorn, Thomas L. Turner
    Biology Open 2016 5: 1642-1647; doi: 10.1242/bio.019380

    Summary: Drosophila species make dramatically different egg-laying decisions depending on ethanol concentration and the distances between options. Surprisingly, we find that the species with the lowest ethanol tolerance prefers ethanol the most.

  • HYPOTHESIS
    Vertically- and horizontally-transmitted memories – the fading boundaries between regeneration and inheritance in planaria
    Moran Neuhof, Michael Levin, Oded Rechavi
    Biology Open 2016 5: 1177-1188; doi: 10.1242/bio.020149

    Summary: In this hypothesis paper we re-evaluate canonical ideas about the interaction between developmental, genetic and evolutionary processes through the lens of planaria, an invertebrate model organism which challenges fundamental assumptions regarding reproduction.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Analysis of coelom development in the sea urchin Holopneustes purpurescens yielding a deuterostome body plan
    Valerie B. Morris
    Biology Open 2016 5: 348-358; doi: 10.1242/bio.015925

    Summary: A common body plan for echinoderms, chordates and hemichordates resolves the apparent morphological disparity between the pentameral and the bilateral body plans of these major deuterostome phyla.
