Genome-wide association studies have thus far failed to explain the observed heritability of
complex human diseases. This is referred to as the “missing heritability” problem. However, …

Epigenetic variation has been observed in a range of organisms, leading to questions of the
adaptive significance of this variation. In this study, we present a model to explore the …

Understanding evolution is critical to learning biology, but few college instructors take
advantage of the body of peer-reviewed literature that can inform evolution teaching and …

There has been minimal theoretical exploration of the role of epigenetic variation in the
response to natural selection. Using a population genetic model, I derive formulae that …

RE Furrow the Supplemental Material for a simulated example. Blumer and Beck (2019) do
not observe this; they report similar standard errors of the mean for both pretest and posttest …

Abiotic stressors may affect biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) involved in plant
communication. We examined how certain environmental conditions affect plant signaling …

Stochastic switching is an example of phenotypic bet hedging, where an individual can switch
between different phenotypic states in a fluctuating environment. Although the evolution of …

… Arrows in both directions represent places where students can iteratively repeat and
revise, for example re-plating primary enrichment cultures to look for novel colonies or fitting …

… , and formation of a cleavage furrow in the cell cortex, need to take place in the right
temporal and spatial order. Finally, constriction of the cleavage furrow leads to separation of the …

Halophile-specific enzymes have wide-ranging industrial and commercial applications.
Despite their importance, there is a paucity of available halophile whole-genome sequences. …
