Shape-shifting corals: Molecular markers show morphology is evolutionarily plastic in Porites

The difficulty of evaluating biodiversity in threatened reef-building coral is highlighted by new evidence showing that several corals that appear very different are genetically indistinguishable, whereas some corals with similar appearance are reproductively incompatible.

Sex differences in the genetic architecture of lifespan in a seed beetle: extreme inbreeding extends male lifespan

Trine Bilde, Alexei A Maklakov, Katrine Meisner, Lucia la Guardia, Urban Friberg BMC Evolutionary Biology 2009, 9:33 (6 February 2009)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

Inbred seed beetles, Callosbruchus maculatus, of both sexes have lower reproductive fitness but unlike females, inbred males surprisingly live longer than outbred males, possibly because their minimal breeding effort leaves more resources for survival.
