Directed evolution of an artificial cell lineage
No full textBiological development is a complex process that mediates between genotypes, to which mutations occur, and phenotypes, on which selection acts. Properties of development can therefore have considerable impact on evolution. However, in many existing simulation models of development, the developmental process itself is difficult to recover and/or analyse. We have previously introduced a model of development in which the developmental process is represented as a cell lineage. Here we use this model to further explore the control of development, and the influence that development has on shaping an adaptive landscape

Hydrodroma moralesi Wiles 2005, n. sp.
No full textHydrodroma moralesi n. sp. (Figure 1) Male. Small red species. Epimera typical, heavily sculptured: each genital plate narrow with 22–24 acetabula and 13 genital plate setae: genital plate length 123, maximum width 42; genital pore length 90; ejaculatory complex without distal horns. Pedipalps short, P4 short and broad, P3 distal setae of similar length approximately 127 long; length P1–5 26, 38, 27, 75, 37. Legs typical, without swimming setae. Material examined. HOLOTYPE: ". Honduras: (Site 2) R. El Carago, small stream, near Cusuco National Park entrance, Merendon mountains, altitude 640 m, 6 April 2003. Slide: holotype: H17 ". Etymology. Named after E. Morales for services to conservation in Honduras. Discussion. The palp and the genital plate are the shortest and the number of acetabula per plate the fewest of all the species of Hydrodroma described. It is the only species without swimming setae or distal horns on the ejaculatory complex. The nearest species in size is H. liberiensis Cook, 1966. It has less than 30 acetabula on a single genital plate that is 50% longer than that of H. moralesi n. sp., a slender pedipalp with P4 is of typical proportions and legs with swimming setae.Published as part of Wiles, P.

Named after Claire Espinasse, Glamorgan University who collected the specimens. Discussion. The pattern of dorsal plate fusion (1+1) and the configuration of the palp segments are diagnostic of the new species. Pseudotorrenticola boettgeri K. O. Viets, 1977 from Guatemala, P. quinquescutata Lundblad, 1954 from Spain, P. mitchelli Cook, 1966 from Liberia and P. sharpae Wiles, 1997 from Thailand and Borneo, have a relatively much longer P4 and separate dorsal plates (1+4). The ejaculatory complex of P. espinasseae is of the type with a large, broad distal bulb, P. sharpae has a small distal bulb. Pseudotorrenticola chiricahua Smith, 1991 from Arizona, USA and P. africana K. O. Viets, 1981 have separate anterior platelets, and posterior platelets fused to the large dorsal plate (2+4); a pedipalp with reduced P4 (P4:P3.0.5), but not to the extent of P. espinasseae, and a shorter rostrum.Published as part of Wiles, P.

El Carago, small stream, near Cusuco National Park entrance, Merendon mountains, altitude 640 m, 8 April 2003. Slide: holotype H33 ", paratype 1 H 2♀, paratype 3 H34Nymph. Etymology. Named after Angela Todd, Glamorgan University, who collected the specimens. Discussion. The broad tibia of the first two pairs of legs and the pattern of fused anterior platelets are diagnostic of the species. Other species with a broad I-Leg-6 and II-Leg-6 include: M. sakina Cook, 1967 from India and the Malay Peninsula (unpublished record), M. υenusta υenusta (Viets, 1935), known from a single specimen from Sumatra; M. υenusta africana Cook, 1966, M. stigeophora Cook, 1966 and M. neostigeophora Cook, 1966 from Liberia. The new species is of similar small size and shape to M. υenusta and M. sakina and has a similar cheliceral claw (not enlarged). However, the pattern of anterior platelet fusion differs from that of similar species, which show no plate fusion.Published as part of Wiles, P.
