J Phycol
. 2016 Mar;
50(6):977-83.
PMID: 26988780
Diatoms are perhaps the most diverse lineage of eukaryotic algae, with their siliceous cell wall and diplontic life history often considered to have played important roles in their extraordinary diversification....

PMID: 25423365
Myriapods (e.g., centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality independently of insects. Myriapoda...

PMID: 23547163
An article by Nissen et al. in the November 2012 issue of GENETICS emphasizes the importance of alternative splicing in the sex determination cascade of the honeybee Apis mellifera. This...

J Hered
. 2013 Mar;
104(3):357-70.
PMID: 23487324
A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is how sexual reproduction has persisted in eukaryotic lineages. As cyclical parthenogens, monogonont rotifers are a powerful model for examining this question, yet the...

PMID: 20075255
We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are important regulators of arthropod populations, including major...

BMC Evol Biol
. 2009 Apr;

PMID: 19383157
Background: Thousands of parthenogenetic animal species have been described and cytogenetic manifestations of this reproductive mode are well known. However, little is understood about the molecular determinants of parthenogenesis. The...

Trends Ecol Evol
. 2009 Mar;
24(4):208-17.
PMID: 19282047
The predominance of sexual reproduction indicates that it must confer profound benefits, considering its significant costs relative to asexuality. However, definitively determining whether a lineage engages in sex is often...

PLoS One
. 2008 Jul;
3(8):e2879.
PMID: 18663385
Meiosis is a defining feature of eukaryotes but its phylogenetic distribution has not been broadly determined, especially among eukaryotic microorganisms (i.e. protists)-which represent the majority of eukaryotic 'supergroups'. We surveyed...

Using a meiosis detection toolkit to investigate ancient asexual "scandals" and the evolution of sex
Schurko A, Logsdon Jr J
Bioessays
. 2008 May;
30(6):579-89.
PMID: 18478537
Sexual reproduction is the dominant reproductive mode in eukaryotes but, in many taxa, it has never been observed. Molecular methods that detect evidence of sex are largely based on the...

PMID: 16431276
The 5S rRNA gene family organization among 87 species and varieties of Pythium was investigated to assess evolutionary stability of the two patterns detected and to determine which pattern is...
