Deformation and Evolution of Akata Formation Mudstone in the Niger Delta Basin: Insights from Analogue Models by Shuaiyu Shi, Wenlong Ding, Yixin Yu, Jixin Zhang

“…The formation and evolution of mudstone structures in the Niger Basin involved through three stages: (1) during the Paleocene–Middle Oligocene, thick marine mudstone was deposited; (2) in the Middle Oligocene–Late Oligocene, the mudstone and overlying layers were strongly deformed, and numerous mudstone structures developed with tectonic zonation; and (3) since the Pliocene, the tectonic activity in the basin weakened. …”

Chromosome Numbers and Reproductive Life Cycles in Green Plants: A Phylotranscriptomic Perspective by Rijan R. Dhakal, Alex Harkess, Paul G. Wolf

“…ABSTRACT The strong correlation between reproductive life cycle type and chromosome numbers in green plants has been a long‐standing mystery in evolutionary biology. Within green plants, the derived condition of heterosporous reproduction has emerged from the ancestral condition of homospory in disparate locations on the phylogenetic tree at least 11 times, of which three lineages are extant. …”

In Vivo Evolution of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG Leads to Prolonged Persistence in the Digestive Tract by Alexander Mark, Lorenzo Tosi, Lamia Chkaiban, Raphaela Bento, Biju Parekkadan

“…L. rhamnosus GG was autologously gavaged to mice and subsequently selected and grown ex vivo after passage through the intestinal tract to form two evolutionary isolates of the bacteria. A longer retention time (nearly 3×) and a slower elimination rate of the bacteria in the mouse gut were observed with each evolution. …”

Jak możliwa jest adaptacyjna analiza sztuki? Niektóre problemy metodologiczne estetyki ewolucyjnej by Jerzy Luty

“…For an explanation of the evolutionary origin of a behaviour to be reliable, it should pass the Tinbergen (1951) test, and thus get confirmation in each of the following four aspects: (1) it should appear spontaneously at an early stage of individual development, (2) it should have an identified function, (3) it should have its own evolutionary history, and (4) it should comprise an emotional mechanism that causes pleasure or disgust, operating under specific circumstances. …”
