    Description

    This study examines the whether there is a phylogenetic structure to such episodes of changes in encephalization across mammals. Researchers used phylogenetic techniques to analyze brain mass, body mass and encephalization quotient (EQ) among 630 extant mammalian species. All data on body mass and brain mass of mammals were collected from published literature sources, except for brain masses measured directly from post-mortem specimens the researchers' own collections, and have been entered into a MySQL database.

  • Data from "The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the water"
    WSU Dataset

    Description

    This study reports the sequencing and manual annotation of the Gerris buenoi (G. buenoi) genome; the first water strider genome to be sequenced thus far. The size of the G. buenoi genome is approximately 1,000 Mb, and this sequencing effort has recovered 20,949 predicted protein-coding genes. Manual annotation uncovered a number of local (tandem and proximal) gene duplications and expansions of gene families known for their importance in a variety of processes associated with morphological and physiological adaptations to a water surface lifestyle.
