Decoding the shared genetic toolkit for male sex determination
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen have broken new ground by demonstrating that an HMG-box gene in brown algae is crucial for determining male sex. This breakthrough significantly expands our understanding of sex-determination mechanisms in eukaryotic organisms. Until now, master sex-determination genes had been identified in only a select number of vertebrates and plants.
2024 BMC Ecology and Evolution and BMC Zoology Image Competition | Research Communities by Springer Nature
We are delighted to announce the launch of our first joint BMC Ecology and Evolution and BMC Zoology image competition! Bringing together art and science, the competition aims to showcase the beauty of ecology, evolutionary biology and zoological research.
Botanists analyze the role of pollinators in the evolution of flowers with various sexual forms
Researchers Violeta Simón, Marcial Escudero and Juan Arroyo, from the Department of Botany at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Seville, in collaboration with researchers from four other countries, led a study in which they demonstrate Darwin's hypothesis of precise pollination across all angiosperms (flowering plants). The research is published in the journal Nature Communications.
Friday links: evolutionary biology startup, the problem with specialized researchers, World Wide Web time capsule, and more | Dynamic Ecology
Also this week: remembering Estella Bergere Leopold, testing for editor bias at EEB journals, how to be more like Keynes, the most powerful source of energy in the universe, inevasive species, what Jeremy wants for his birthday, and more. From Jeremy: Pioneering paleobotanist Estella Bergere Leopold has passed away. She was 97. Link goes to…
Discovery of bacterial proteins that induce asexual reproduction in insects
From microbes in the human gut to symbiotic algae in coral reefs, research in recent decades has increasingly revealed the pivotal roles that microorganisms (or microbial species) play in shaping the biology of host organisms and of broader ecosystems. For example, some endosymbionts—microbes that live within the cells of a host organism—are known to manipulate the physiology of their hosts to promote their own persistence from generation to generation.
