Gráinne H Long, Brian HK Chan, Judith E Allen, Andrew F Read, Andrea L Graham BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:128 (30 April 2008) Infection-induced responses of the immune system in mice infected with malaria often adversely affect the host but may result in selection for parasites that make the hosts less sick.

DNA from extinct giant lemurs links archaeolemurids to extant indriids Ludovic Orlando, Sébastien Calvignac, Céline Schnebelen, Christophe J Douady, Laurie R Godfrey, Catherine Hänni BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:121 (28 April 2008) Extinct giant lemurs are closely related to extant lemur species according to phylogenetic analysis of ancient DNA sequence data, which agrees with earlier assessments of their taxonomic status.

Evolution of the insect Megan J Wilson, Peter K Dearden BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:120 (26 April 2008) Although the Sox gene family have a conserved genomic organization, individual orthologs have significantly different expression patterns in Drosophila and Apis implying that this group of transcriptional regulators may be capable of rapidly evolving new functions.

Nicolas Delaroque, Wilhelm Boland BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:110 (12 April 2008) The genome of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus contains fragments of the ESV-1 viral genome, which is similar to the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, and could intriguingly represent the ancestor of extant forms of this virus.

Costs and benefits of multiple resistance to insecticides for Claire Berticat, Julien Bonnet, Stéphane Duchon, Philip Agnew, Mylène Weill, Vincent Corbel BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:104 (8 April 2008) For mosquitoes harboring resistance alleles against two insecticides, the fitness cost can unexpectedly be lower than being resistant to carbamate alone, a genetic interaction that is difficult to predict and adds complexity to managing pesticide use.
