Titles in Evolution Overload

Posted on the 17 November 2012 by Bjornostman @CarnyEvolution
There are simply too many interesting papers published in evolutionary biology to keep up with. Not even just reading the abstracts is feasible. Here's a sample of what I find the most interesting from the last couple of weeks:
  • Analyses of pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution
  • Non-random gene flow: an underappreciated force in evolution and ecology
  • Strengths and weaknesses of experimental evolution
  • Gene duplication as a mechanism of genomic adaptation to a changing environment
  • Revisiting an Old Riddle: What Determines Genetic Diversity Levels within Species?
  • Selection of Penicillin-sensitive Mutants of Escherichia coli following Ultraviolet Irradiation
  • Understanding specialism when the jack of all trades can be the master of all
  • How does adaptation sweep through the genome? Insights from long-term selection experiments
  • Evolutionary layering and the limits to cellular perfection
  • The effects of competition on the strength and softness of selection
  • Crossing the threshold: gene flow, dominance and the critical level of standing genetic variation required for adaptation to novel environments
  • From nature to the laboratory: the impact of founder effects on adaptation
  • Spatially explicit models of divergence and genome hitchhiking
  • Why Transcription Factor Binding Sites Are Ten Nucleotides Long
  • Epistasis as the primary factor in molecular evolution
  • The spatial architecture of protein function and adaptation
  • The effects of stochastic and episodic movement of the optimum on the evolution of the G-matrix and the response of the trait mean to selection
  • TOWARDS A GENERAL THEORY OF GROUP SELECTION
  • PLEIOTROPY IN THE WILD: THE DORMANCY GENE DOG1 EXERTS CASCADING CONTROL ON LIFE-CYCLES

  • Mammalian Ark Kinds
Check it out here: Answers Research Journal. They estimate that there are 137 extant kinds, which means that they must admit to substantial diversification and evolution since the Flood...?
