Costs and benefits of multiple resistance to insecticides for Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes
Claire Berticat, Julien Bonnet, Stéphane Duchon, Philip Agnew, Mylène Weill, Vincent Corbel BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:104 (8 April 2008)
Abstract | Full text | PDF

|
Editor’s summary
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.

Origin of land plants: Do conjugating green algae hold the key?
Sabina Wodniok, Henner Brinkmann, Gernot Glöckner, Andrew J Heidel, Hervé Philippe, Michael Melkonian, Burkhard Becker BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:104 (18 April 2011)
Abstract | Full text | PDF

|
Editor’s summary
The closest living algal relative of the land plants appears to be the conjugating green algae rather than the stonewort-like algae, as revealed by phylogenetic analysis of 129 nuclear genes across a broad range of land plants and algal groups.

Editor’s summary
By reproducing clonally the asexual Amazon Molly fish accumulates deleterious mutations, known as Muller’s Ratchet, that threaten the species with extinction, but might be counteracted by having sex with males from sister species.

Editor’s summary
Classification of natural hybrids between genetically distinct populations into discrete categories can be misleading without use of many markers, but joint consideration of ancestry and heterozygosity measures can give useful insight into hybrid populations.

Editor’s summary
A diverse community of green algal species gives sloth fur a green coloration and whilst some algal species are acquired from the surroundings, one species, Trichophilus welckeri, appears to be retained as a symbiont.

Abstract | Full text | PDF

Editor’s summary
Comparisons of sperm morphology and velocity suggest that longer sperm are not necessarily the fastest and that a flagellum:head ratio is more useful than flagellum length when investigating evolutionary selection for increased swimming speed.
