Neurons are complex cells with dynamic morphogenesis involving the elongation of a developing process, called a neurite. Neurite outgrowth occurs in response to many stimuli and illnesses and is ...

In biology, phylogenetic trees represent the evolutionary history and diversification of species—the "family tree" of Life. Phylogenetic trees not only describe the evolution of a group of organisms ...

Weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea) represent a hyperdiverse and globally distributed group of phytophagous beetles, with approximately 62,000 described species in 5,800 genera. Recently, researchers ...

The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...
