Ancestral polymorphisms shape the adaptive radiation of Metrosideros across the Hawaiian Islands [Evolution]

by Jae Young Choi, Xiaoguang Dai, Ornob Alam, Julie Z. Peng, Priyesh Rughani, Scott Hickey, Eoghan Harrington, Sissel Juul, Julien F. Ayroles, Michael D. Purugganan, Elizabeth A. Stacy
Some of the most spectacular adaptive radiations begin with founder populations on remote islands. How genetically limited founder populations give rise to the striking phenotypic and ecological diversity characteristic of adaptive radiations is a paradox of evolutionary biology. We conducted an evolutionary genomics analysis of genus Metrosideros, a landscape-dominant, incipient...

The whole article is based on a totally INCORRECT assumption, due to their lack of understanding of the principles of X-ray diffraction and electron microscope

FtsZ treadmilling is essential for Z-ring condensation and septal constriction initiation in Bacillus subtilis cell division

by Kevin D. Whitley

Nature Communications, Published online: 27 April 2021; doi:10.1038/s41467-021-22526-0

Bacterial cell division by cell wall synthesis proteins is guided by treadmilling filaments of the cytoskeleton protein FtsZ. Here authors use nanofabrication, advanced microscopy, and microfluidics to resolve the function of FtsZ treadmilling in the Gram-positive model organism Bacillus subtilis.

WO3-x and (NH4)xWO3 are prepared from ammonium metatungstate. Oleyl oleamide, formed from oleic acid and oleylamine at T > 250 °C, favors the formation of WO3-x nanorods, fast heating rates and high precursor concentrations the formation of (NH4)xWO3.

Rapid speciation via the evolution of pre-mating isolation in the Ibera Seedeater

by Turbek, S. P., Browne, M., Di Giacomo, A. S., Kopuchian, C., Hochachka, W. M., Estalles, C., Lijtmaer, D. A., Tubaro, P. L., Silveira, L. F., Lovette, I. J., Safran, R. J., Taylor, S. A., Campagna, L.

Behavioral isolation can catalyze speciation and permit the slow accumulation of additional reproductive barriers between co-occurring organisms. We illustrate how this process occurs by examining the genomic and behavioral bases of pre-mating isolation between two bird species (Sporophila hypoxantha and the recently discovered S. iberaensis) that belong to the southern capuchino seedeaters, a recent, rapid radiation characterized by variation in male plumage coloration and song. Although these two species co-occur without obvious ecological barriers to reproduction, we document behaviors indicating species recognition by song and plumage traits and strong assortative mating associated with genomic regions underlying male plumage patterning. Plumage differentiation likely originated through the reassembly of standing genetic variation, indicating how novel sexual signals may quickly arise and maintain species boundaries.
