The phylogenetic distribution of ultraviolet sensitivity in birds

Anders Ödeen, Olle Håstad BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:36 (11 February 2013)

Abstract | Provisional PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

Phylogenetic analysis of a single opsin gene in birds shows that their vision has shifted between the visible spectrum and UV-sensitive vision at least 14 times, each of which can be explained by a single nucleotide change.

Evolution of Escherichia coli rifampicin resistance in an antibiotic-free environment during thermal stress

Alejandra Rodríguez-Verdugo, Brandon S Gaut, Olivier Tenaillon BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:50 (22 February 2013)

Abstract | Provisional PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

E. coli can develop resistance to the antibiotic rifampicin, even in the absence of the drug, if grown in a thermally stressed environment, suggesting that antibiotic resistance is not always costly for bacteria to maintain.

Ecological partitioning and diversity in tropical planktonic foraminifera

Heidi A Seears, Kate F Darling, Christopher M Wade BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:54 (16 April 2012)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

The distribution of species and genotypes of planktonic foraminifera in the Arabian Sea shows species-specific adaptations to different environmental conditions and suggests that ecological partitioning might play a role in the speciation process.

Simulating gene trees under the multispecies coalescent and time-dependent migration

Abstract | Provisional PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

New software that can simulate gene trees under a multispecies coalescent model with migration between subspecies shows that although inference of species tree topologies can be robust to gene flow, even detecting the presence of migration is difficult.
