✍ Kawamura, Kazuo; Sugino, Yasuo M. 📂 Article 📅 1999 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 782 KB

Cell adhesion during budding of tunicates is reviewed from the viewpoints of histology, cytology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Two kinds of multipotent cells play important roles in bud formation and development: epithelial cells, such as the atrial epithelium of botryllids and polystyelids,

The classical two-fold advantage of asexual reproduction relative to sex can arise from two distinct causes: (i) the absence of male parental investment, or (ii) the asexual females having access to male parental investment when it is available. Both of these causes arise through differences in the

We study the structure and properties of adaptive landscapes arising from the assumption that genotype fitness can only be 0 (inviable genotype) or 1 (viable genotype). An appropriate image of resulting ("holey") fitness landscapes is a (multidimensional) flat surface with many holes. We have demons

Successful reconstruction of any aspect of human evolution ideally requires broad-based comparisons with other primates, as recognition of general principles provides a more reliable foundation for inference. Indeed, in many cases it is necessary to conduct comparisons with other placental mammals t

## Abstract The body volume constraint hypothesis is a widely accepted notion that explains proximate limitation of female reproductive output, but lacks empirical support. To examine how body volume determines reproductive output, we experimentally manipulated the body volume of female lacertid li
