概括
杂交可以在成功的杂交中产生新的宿主微生物组协会,推动生态利基扩张和进化多样化. 这挑战了这种观点,即杂交总是对全生物有害.
科学领域:
- 进化生物学 进化生物学
- 微生物组研究 微生物组研究
- 霍罗生物体理论是什么?
背景情况:
- 杂交可以推动宏观进化变化,并引入新的特征.
- 杂交对全生物体 (宿主和微生物组) 的影响不太清楚,普遍认为它会破坏共生并降低适应性.
- 这种观点可能源于对低体能杂交的研究,忽视了罕见的,成功的"有希望的全生物".
研究的目的:
- 调查杂交对生态上成功的杂交Aspidoscelis neomexicanus*肠道和皮肤微生物群的影响.
- 测试杂交是否表现出与宿主相关的 (HA) 微生物群,与它们的原始物种不同.
主要方法:
- 在混合 *Aspidoscelis neomexicanus* 中分析肠道和皮肤微生物群.
- 杂交及其原始物种之间的微生物群特征的比较.
- 评估微生物群重组与利基重组之间的相关性.
主要成果:
- 广泛的证据表明,在混合微生物群的表型中观察到过度分离.
- 混合体中的微生物群重组与利基重组大致相关.
- 这些发现表明,HA微生物群特征与杂交动物的生态成功之间存在联系.
结论:
- 在生态上成功的杂交物中,HA微生物群的过分分离发生,这表明杂交可以创造新的,潜在的有益的全息生物表型.
- 混合微生物群的变化可能会促进利基扩张或转移,可能导致从祖先的生态释放.
- 这种由杂交驱动的全生物级重组可能是进化多样化的重要因素.

Hybrid Zones
16.8K
Hybrid zones are narrow regions where two closely related species interact, mate, and produce hybrids. Relative to either parent species, hybrids may possess distinct phenotypic or genetic differences that impact their survival and reproductive success. The genetic variances introduced by hybridization influence species diversity and speciation processes within the hybrid zone.

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell
3.4K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Forced Transdifferentiation
1.9K
Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.
