Avventura del pensiero alle origini

de Nadia Masello ...

Ci sono prove del fatto che vari composti biogeni possono formarsi spontaneamente in condizioni simili a quelle vigenti un tempo sulla Terra primitiva, nello spazio interstellare, sulle comete e sui meteoriti.Con ogni probabilità furono proprio tali composti a fornire i primi semi della vita.

Evolution in the Dark

Adaptation of Drosophila in the Laboratory

de Naoyuki Fuse, Tasuku Kitamura, Takashi Haramura, Kentaro Arikawa, Michio Imafuku ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
How organisms come to possess adaptive traits is a fundamental question for evolutionary biology. Although it is almost impossible to demonstrate evolution in the laboratory, this issue can be approached by using an unusual organism, “Dark-fly”: Drosophila melanogaster kept in complete darkness for 57 years through 1,400 generations, which corresponds to 28,000 years in terms of human generations. ...
