Deep Proteomics of the Xenopus laevis Egg using an mRNA-derived Reference Database (2014, neutral): “However, many of the most interesting biological problems are best studied in nonstandard organisms: limb regeneration in axolotl [4], red blood cell development in ice fish [5], or craniofacial developmental disorders in Darwin’s finches [6].”
Climate change and evolution: disentangling environmental and genetic responses (2008, background): “Nevertheless, as exemplified by several recent studies in other contexts (e.g. Abzhanov et al. 2004; Colosimo et al. 2004; Shapiro et al. 2004; Abzhanov et al. 2006; Hanski & Saccheri 2006), functional polymorphisms with known ecological relevance are becoming uncovered with increasing pace.”
Frugivorous Bird Guild Seasonal Patterns in Semiarid Chaco Forests are Linked to Habitat Seasonality but Reveal Phylogenetic Signature (2015, background): “In birds, for example, beak morphology and type of digestive system, as shared evolved traits, conditioned the trophic behaviour of related species [11,12].”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “The increasing availability of genomic data for species in adaptive radiations (e.g., Dar-Adaptive win’s ﬁnches: Abzhanov et al. 2004, 2006) and the ability to combine detailed studies of natural selection and genomics will immeasurably advance our understanding of adaptive radiation; such work is…”
THE LOCUS OF EVOLUTION: EVO DEVO AND THE GENETICS OF ADAPTATION (2007, background): “…identified important pathways involved in phenotypic change (e.g., the calmodium pathway involved in beak-size evolution of Darwin’s finches [Abzhanov et al. 2004, 2006] and Notch/Distal-less in the formation of butterfly wingspots [Beldade et al. 2002; Reed and Serfas 2004]), it does not…”
The road to modularity (2007, background): “Most recently, independent developmental mechanisms for two adaptively independent traits have been demonstrated with respect to beak shape in Darwin's finche”
Recent advances in craniofacial morphogenesis (2006, background): “gos finches, Tabin’s group found that the expression of Bmp4 in the mesenchyme of the upper beak was closely associated with a particular morphology, a broad shape (Abzhanov et al., 2004).”
Language as shaped by the brain. (2008, background): “For example, the differing beak shape in Darwin’s finches, adapted to different habitats in the Galapagos Islands, may be largely determined by as few as two genes: BMP4, the expression of which is associated with the width, as well as depth, of beaks (Abzhanov et al. 2004), and CaM, the expression ”
The Loci of Evolution: How Predictable is Genetic Evolution? (2008, background): “DIFFERENT CONSTRAINTS ON CIS-REGULATORY”
The evolutionary ecology of the major histocompatibility complex (2006, background): “…a growing understanding of how gene expression can play an important role in determining phenotypic variation (Oleksiak et al, 2002; Darvasi, 2003; Abzhanov et al, 2004), and allelic variation in promoter regions controlling HLA expression (Cowell et al, 1998) implies that this may also be true…”
Genetic and developmental basis of cichlid trophic diversity (2006, background): “Continued work in cichlids, and other evolutionary models (Abzhanov et al, 2004; Kimmel et al, 2005), will provide critical insights into the mechanisms that regulate variation in jaw shape. and 0445212 awarded to TDK, and by the National Institutes of Health through an Institutional Postdoctoral…”
