MICROBIAL SYMBIOSIS AND COEVOLUTION OF AN ENTIRE CLADE OF ANCIENT VERTEBRATES: THE GUT MICROBIOTA OF SEA TURTLES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR PHYLOGENETIC HISTORY

Microbial symbiosis and coevolution of an entire clade of ancient vertebrates: the gut microbiota of sea turtles and its relationship to their phylogenetic history

Abstract Background The microbiota plays a critical role Full Canopy Bed in host homeostasis and has been shown to be a major driving force in host evolution.However, our understanding of these important relationships is hampered by a lack of data for many species, and by significant gaps in sampling of the evolutionary tree.In this investigation w

Origins of asexuality in Bryobia mites (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Abstract Background Obligate asexual reproduction is rare in the animal kingdom.Generally, asexuals are considered evolutionary dead ends that are unable to radiate.The phytophagous mite genus Bryobia contains a large number of asexual species.In this study, we investigate the origin and evolution of asexuality using samples from 111 populations in
