Predicting multivariate phenotypic evolution.

Experimental data and computational simulations reveal a new functional model, that is 'Triple-control' for the basal ganglia pathways in action selection.

Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.

Experiments on yeast cells that are hosts to a killer virus confirm that natural selection can sometimes reduce fitness.

Artificial selection on communities drives the evolution of interactions and establishes community-level inheritance.

Recombinant mitochondrial genomes can be selected, traits can be genetically mapped and new genetic combinations can be made.

A series of selective events, each improving fitness relative to an immediate predecessor, can result in organisms that are less fit compared to a distant ancestor.

Offspring of plants selected at low and high plant diversity differently respond to global change drivers (nitrogen enrichment, drought), as reflected by their biomass production and trait expression, whereby plant-soil interactions play a significant role in these processes.

The ability to share resources for the benefit of all members of a group may have driven ancient organisms to evolve from a unicellular to a multicellular state.

Sexual reproduction is responsible for the evolutionary success of selfish transposable elements.
