New Methods and Systematics: Two Erstwhile Items of Note
If it is not on the Internet, does it not exist? The Internet is becoming the primary mirror of human activity — from politics to pornography. Ciliates, butterflies, whales, and barcodes. The indigenous peoples of New Guinea, who use neither binoculars nor field guides, distinguished (and had names in their …
Three old news items about the planet we have altered and its pristine areas
The planet is in collective ownership. Russians clearly remember the sad experience of farming in kolkhozes – it should be obvious to them. Unfortunately, the planet is still under communal ownership. "This is the place most resembling Eden that can be found on Earth…". Over time...
Four news about not quite classical genetics
Genetics: between victory and defeat. A powerful source of hereditary variability has been registered, which until now remained underestimated. A kinship view from the shell. The genes that “account” for visual perception in us are also present in the sea urchin. Does this mean that the hedgehog ...
Four old news items on genetics and phylogeny
See the past. The present is a consequence of, and, if you will, a hostage of the past. Any development is a conflict between memory (the preservation of system properties) and change (the adaptation of that system or its destruction). He who has acquired much has also forgotten much… In …
Three old news items: from molecular systematics to nanotechnologies and genetic engineering
Paradoxes of systematics. One of the influential schools of systematics states: if species change cannot be evaluated “objectively”, it should not be taken into account at all and only the order of branching of the evolutionary tree should be reconstructed. The ostrich solution: why is a classification needed that does …
On Snakes and Toxoplasma (Plus a Bit on Religion)
The python's piercing gaze. A symbolic dialogue with the world begins with the pacification of a totem or idol. If Professor Coulson is right, the first step of our ancestors along this path was overcoming ophidiophobia. The guilty gaze of the victim. We bear the imprint of the impact of …
On the origin of terrestrial life and its insignificant (but distant) prospects
Life of comets. So, before natural selection set evolution of life in motion, it facilitated the evolution of “pre‑life” – geochemical autocatalytic processes. Earth: existence after death. Currently, the Sun is roughly at the midpoint of its life trajectory (in its present status...
Three old news items about nature conservation
The sorcerer's students. Driven by curiosity, the sorcerer's apprentice took advantage of his teacher's absence, slipped into the secret room, opened a spellbook to which he had no right to touch, and randomly read a line from it whose meaning he did not understand. Cooling interest in warming? Kyoto pr...
Three Articles on Interspecific Recombination
Contagious Genes, or the Horizontal Turn: DNA can be acquired not only from parents. Tracing the genealogy of any microorganism, one can see that a "river" of genetically heterogeneous information flows through it. The entire biosphere is reflected in this stream! Wolbachia: strangers...
