The Evolution of Silicon Transport in Eukaryotes
(Oxford University PressMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2016-10-11)
Biosilicification (the formation of biological structures from silica) occurs in diverse eukaryotic lineages, plays a major role in global biogeochemical cycles, and has significant biotechnological applications. Silicon ...
Elastohydrodynamic synchronization of adjacent beating flagella
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2016-11-01)
It is now well established that nearby beating pairs of eukaryotic flagella or cilia typically synchronize in phase. A substantial body of evidence supports the hypothesis that hydrodynamic coupling between the active ...
Filter-feeding, near-field flows, and the morphologies of colonial choanoflagellates
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, 2016-11-01)
Efficient uptake of prey and nutrients from the environment is an important component in the fitness of all microorganisms, and its dependence on size may reveal clues to the origins of evolutionary transitions to ...
