Stan biologiczny populacji ludzkich a przemiany środowiska społeczno-ekonomicznego by Anna Siniarska, Napoleon Wolański

“…Humans with their culture - especially medicine and social care - protect lives of individuals who otherwise would have been eliminated by natural selection. Hereditary differences among various geographic groups of modern people occur with low frequency - just a fraction of a percentage point. …”

Insight into the codon usage patterns and adaptation of Tembusu Virus by Fucheng Guo, Huiming Tan, Jinjin Yang, Rumin Jia, Ruichen Wang, Lie Wu, Fengzhi Pan, Kai Kang, Weitian Xie, Youquan Li, Kewei Fan

“…Codon adaptation index (CAI) analysis reveals that this lineage of TMUV show best adapted to the CUPs of duck than other lineages, underscoring the role of natural selection in shaping viral evolution, a finding in line with evidence that CUPs in the TMUV genome is predominantly shaped by natural selection. …”

Candidate SNP markers of social dominance, which may affect the affinity of the TATAbinding protein for human gene promoters by I. V. Chadaeva, D. A. Rasskazov, E. B. Sharypova, L. K. Savinkova, P. M. Ponomarenko, M. P. Ponomarenko

“…The proposed hypothesis, the candidate SNP markers predicted and the observed regularities of effects of natural selection for the human genome are discussed in comparison with published data: whether they can have any relation to social dominance in human. …”

Homosexual Pairing within a Swarm-Based Mating System: The Case of the Chironomid Midge by Athol J. McLachlan

“…Homosexuality has been dubbed the Darwinian paradox, because it raises the question of how behaviour that would seem to reduce the chance of successful mating can be maintained by natural selection. This question rests on the assumption that same sex mating is the result of active choice of partner, hardwired into the mating behaviour, but there is an alternative explanation for such behaviour. …”

Mitochondrial DNA Damage and Animal Longevity: Insights from Comparative Studies by Reinald Pamplona

“…In this scenario, natural selection tends to decrease the mitochondrial ROS generation, the oxidative damage to mtDNA, and the mitochondrial mutation rate in long-lived species, in agreement with the mitochondrial oxidative stress theory of aging.…”

À quel(s) public(s) s’adresse Darwin ? L’Origine des Espèces, entre ouvrage scientifique, œuvre littéraire, et texte de vulgarisation by Camille Debras

“…As the literary dimension of the book blurs the limit between the popular and the learned, Darwin tries to reconcile the core dichotomy between the religious and the agnostic reader by an ambiguous reference to the agency of natural selection : is it merely a random natural process, or literally a transcending agent, another version of God’s action in the theory of evolution ?…”

Synonymous Codon Usage Controls Various Molecular Aspects by Eu-Hyun Im, Sun Shim Choi

“…Researchers have recognized synonymous codon usage bias (SCUB) in the genomes of almost all species and have investigated whether SCUB is due to random nucleotide compositional bias or to natural selection of any functional exposure generated by synonymous mutations. …”

State-of-the-Art Review on Relevance of Genetic Algorithm to Internet Web Search by Kehinde Agbele, Ademola Adesina, Daniel Ekong, Oluwafemi Ayangbekun

“…Genetic algorithms (GAs) are robust, efficient, and optimizated methods in a wide area of search problems motivated by Darwin’s principles of natural selection and survival of the fittest. This paper describes information retrieval systems (IRS) components. …”

Evidence of the Complexity of Gene Expression Analysis in Fish Wild Populations by Mbaye Tine

“…The results suggest that the differential expression observed is not the result of evolutionary forces such as genetic drift or adaptation by natural selection. Instead, it can be speculated that genes responded to various abiotic and biotic stressors, including factors intrinsic to animals. …”

Inactivation of the CMAH gene and deficiency of Neu5Gc play a role in human brain evolution by Yuxin Liu, Jinhong Li, Qicai Liu

“…An inactivation mutation in CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) was the result of natural selection. The inactivation of CMAH protected our ancestors from some pathogens and reduced the level of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) in brain tissue. …”

Slime-Groove Drag Reduction Characteristics and Mechanism of Marine Biomimetic Surface by Muhan Yan, Yunqing Gu, Longbiao Ma, Jianxing Tang, Chengdong He, Junjun Zhang, Jiegang Mou

“…Improving the energy efficiency of ships not only helps reduce fuel consumption but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions, which is an important guarantee for the green development of the ocean and the maintenance of ecological balance. Through natural selection and adaptation to the environment after evolution, the body surface of organisms generates a variety of ways to resist adhesion and resistance of Marine organisms. …”
