Ecological Adaptations: From Angstroms to Ecosystems (2)

|

From the time I published my review of biophysically constrained nutritional epigenetics, which refuted the neo-Darwinian nonsense about mutation-driven evolution, 2834 more publications have mentioned mutations and evolution. For comparison, there are ~12,370 more publications on microRNAs. The additional publications on microRNAs attest to the facts about ecological adaptations in all living genera. For example: … Ecological Adaptations: From Angstroms to Ecosystems (2)

Bird Genomes Abound Scientists complete the largest-ever comparative genomic study of birds. By Ruth Williams | December 11, 2014 Excerpt: “Birds are model organisms for a number of human behaviors and conditions—For example, Jarvis compares vocal learning in birds and humans—so determining the genetic basis of such traits requires genetic history.” My comment: Honeybees are … Model organisms: the birds and the bees

MiRNAs methylation and ecological adaptation sans mutations

MiRNAs methylation and ecological adaptation sans mutations  “Our 2003 Molecular and Cellular Biology paper …opened the mechanistic ‘black box’ of the developmental origins of adult disease susceptibility, and firmly placed the word, epigenetics, in the vernacular of this research field.”  — Randy Jirtle (2009) Our 1996 Hormones and Behavior paper included a section on molecular epigenetics with … MiRNAs methylation and ecological adaptation sans mutations
