Mammals have developed some unusual eating habits over the past 100 million years, but a new study has uncovered the surprising lengths to which some have gone to satisfy one of the more peculiar—a taste for #ants and #termites.
Mammals independently evolved specialized adaptations for exclusively feeding on ants and termites at least 12 times since the #Cenozoic era began, roughly 66 million years ago.
The #convergent #evolution among #mammals toward this dietary strategy—called #myrmecophagy—emerged following the K-Pg #extinction and fall of non-avian dinosaurs, which reshaped ecosystems and set the stage for ant and termite colonies to rapidly expand worldwide.
Over 200 mammal #species are known to eat ants and termites today, yet only about 20 true myrmecophages—such as giant anteaters, aardvarks and pangolins—have evolved traits like long sticky tongues, specialized claws and stomachs, and reduced or missing teeth, to efficiently consume thousands of these insects daily as their sole food source.

PSD is a GNU/Linux distribution which has PSD (GNU/Linux) + PSD Desktop Environment and own userspace applications with a convergent approach for desktop mobile embedded and self hosted Server(cloud)
And also PSD is a Debian based distribution without systemd and with apt and knitter package manager which is focused on GNU rather than LLVM and other tools
Stay in touch !

How to identify #convergent #evolution in morphologically very similar taxa (e.g. #Elateridae, Coleoptera) and an example of involving biological characters in phylogenetic evaluations (e.g. #mites, #Histiostomatidae, #Astigmata).

Excited to talk about #parallel and #convergent #evolution on #popgroup56. Always wanted to attend the meeting and the first few talks and interactions have been wonderful: friendly and thought provoking.

Rosie Gillespie had previously shown that there have been instances of #repeated #phenotypic evolution (sensu #parallel / #convergent evol).
Using 76 new #genomes, we confirmed this using nuclear (left) and mitochondrial (right) data (notice labeling).

@thunderbird Will the desktop redesign include a #convergent UI, for better support for #Linux phones?
-
Well, I guess I am on Mastodon now, so here is an #introduction post
- I run the #bioinformatics group at #harvard. We are a combination consulting group, training team, and computational research lab.
- My research interests are in #popgen, #bioinformatics, and #genomics, with a particular focus on #convergent #evolution, #genome #assembly and #annotation, and #software usability
