Detection of convergent genome-wide signals of adaptation to tropical forests in humans. by Carlos Eduardo G Amorim, Josephine T Daub, Francisco M Salzano, Matthieu Foll, Laurent Excoffier

“…In general, convergent evolution was less pervasive than local adaptation in one single continent, suggesting that Africans and Amerindians may have followed different routes to adapt to similar environmental selective pressures.…”

Turgenev’s appropriation of King Lear: A case of medieval transmission and adaptation by Manel Bellmunt Serrano

“…This analysis highlights the role of cross-cultural relations and its influence on the evolution of target literatures. The comparison with Shakespeare’s source text shows evident similarities but also differences, all of which raise multiple questions from the perspective of philosophy, history and ideology, among others. …”

Experimental evolution of a pathogen confronted with innate immune memory increases variation in virulence. by Ana Korša, Moritz Baur, Nora K E Schulz, Jaime M Anaya-Rojas, Alexander Mellmann, Joachim Kurtz

“…Additionally, host responses to infections, such as resistance or tolerance, play a critical role in shaping virulence evolution. But, while the evolution of pathogens has been traditionally studied under the selection pressure of host adaptive immunity, less is known about their evolution when confronted to simpler and less effective forms of immunity such as immune priming. …”

Zone adaptive fuel mapping for high resolution wildfire spread forecasting by Paula Sánchez, Irene González, Carlos Carrillo, Ana Cortés, Remo Suppi, Tomàs Margalef

“…To assess the accuracy of the proposed fuel mapping method, we compared the fire spread forecast using the ZAFM fuel map with fire evolutions based on different fuel maps derived from the land cover map of the study area. …”

Functional analysis of Rossmann-like domains reveals convergent evolution of topology and reaction pathways. by Kirill E Medvedev, Lisa N Kinch, R Dustin Schaeffer, Nick V Grishin

“…Rossmann folds are ancient, frequently diverged domains found in many biological reaction pathways where they have adapted for different functions. Consequently, discernment and classification of their homologous relations and function can be complicated. …”

Towards a standardised methodology of radiation damage defect distributions for microstructure evolution models by A.-C. Gutiérrez-Camacho, M. J. Caturla, A. E. Sand

“…Abstract We have developed a model that integrates molecular dynamics (MD) and binary collision approximation (BCA) results to reconstruct the irradiation damage caused by ions of any energy in different materials. The methodology is designed as a standardized tool for introducing defects into microstructure evolution models, such as object kinetic Monte Carlo or cluster dynamics. …”
