| When the genome changes occur in the absence of parallel changes in organismal complexity it appears that gene value is lost concordantly. |
|
| At the other end of the spectrum, organismal biology and ecology are making a modest comeback. |
|
| Body size is a frequently cited influence on organismal biology and evolution. |
|
| One of the big challenges in integrative organismal biology is to explain-and ideally predict-the evolution of complex animal traits in nature. |
|
| It also represents a rare instance in which protein evolution, organismal adaptation, and environmental conditions can be linked directly. |
|
| For example, if we are obligated to sustain all human life, regardless of organismal function, how can death ever be morally permitted? |
|
| A difference in gene expression need not influence organismal phenotype or fitness. |
|
| These genes strongly implicate the glucose metabolism pathway in organismal aging. |
|
| The focus of recent studies has been the explicit integration of an organismal perspective into sexual selection studies. |
|
| In this regard, it is interesting to consider the potential effects of a division rate correlation on the organismal phenotype. |
|
| In higher eukaryotes, impediments to repair can lead to high frequencies of mutation, cancer, and in some cases, cell or organismal death. |
|
| Both organisms integrate the present organismal state to modify the response to further signals. |
|
| The authors are quick to point out the relationship between specific organismal adaptations and the environmental conditions that cause them. |
|
| As new genomes are sequenced, these tools are valuable both in annotation of protein functions and in correlating organismal genotype with phenotype. |
|
| Explaining ecological phenomena in terms of organismal traits has broad acceptance by community ecologists and growing acceptance by ecosystem ecologists. |

|
| Figure 1 gives the overall rooted organismal phylogeny assumed, with the topology for a particular gene constituting only a subtree of this global phylogeny. |
|
| Most importantly, if mutations have no effect on organismal fitness, the genealogy of a sample can be separated entirely from the mutational process. |
|
| We reasoned that if programmed cell death influences organismal death, mutants defective in apoptosis should have abnormal, possibly extended, life spans. |
|
| Under this definition, complex traits tend to be those at higher levels of organization, including behavior, life history, and organismal physiology. |
|
|
|
| Furthermore, the origin of new gene families with disparate functions from ancestral genes is implicated in the evolution of organismal diversity. |
|
| I believe organismal development is one of the most wonderful processes in nature. |
|
| Living primates have obvious importance for understanding Diodiversity and organismal biology. |
|
| These stand midway between karyogenetic and organismal characters. |
|
| The nuclear envelope harbors key roles in cellular and organismal homeostasis, reflected by a variety of diseases caused by mutations in NE proteins. |

| I also told the board about a book just published by MIT press, The Origination of Organismal Form. |
