Swift sympatric adaptation of a species of cattle tick to a new deer host in New-Caledonia
The occurrence and frequency of sympatric speciation in natural systems continue to be hotly debated issues in evolutionary biology. This might reflect the timescale over which evolution occurs res…

A condition of cooperation. Games on network
Natural selection is often regarded as a result of severe competition. Defect seems beneficial for a single individual in many cases.However, cooperation is observed in many levels of biological sy…

Population genetic structure of the pelagic goby, Sufflogobius bibarbatus, in the Northern Benguela ecosystem, based on PCR-RFLP analysis of the mitochondrial control region and the ND 3 and 4 region (Dissertation).
Polymorphism within the mitochondrial NADH-3,4 dehydrogenase(ND-3/4) and control region (D-Loop) was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysi…

Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals
Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R…

Identification of the prebiotic translation apparatus within the contemporary ribosome
A structural element that could have existed independently in the prebiotic era was identified at the active site of the contemporary ribosome. It is suggested to have functioned as a proto-ribosom…
