Each flowerpot snake is born from an unfertilized egg via "premeiotic endoreplication". She's a genetic clone of her mother. We call this 'parthenogenesis'.

And each cell in her body will have *3* copies of her genome, which is very unusual.

What we think happened: about 41 million years ago...

Now online! Convergent genomic evolution of human gut bacteria along an industrialization gradient
Convergent genomic evolution of human gut bacteria along an industrialization gradient
Analysis of globally diverse gut bacterial isolate genomes shows that host environments across the industrialization gradient shape genome remodeling and convergent selection, while industrialization is linked to increased HGT-driven gene acquisition and expanded genome size.

Plus d’1/4 des neurones prélevés sur des fœtus humains présentent une anomalie chromosomique.
Seuls 6 % subsistent dans le cerveau des nouveau-nés.

Il y aurait donc un mécanisme permettant de réguler le nombre de neurones déficients et déterminer lesquels sont autorisés à subsister dans le cerveau

I'm a bit puzzled by these large declines in diversity in common species. Yes, there numbers have declined but losing 40% of species diversity in 20 generations would imply Ne's on the order of 10s.

Don't forget, successful application of any piece/gene/metabolite/etc requires a full understanding of any and all conditionalities that may affect function.

So GxE, niche breadth, fluctuating selection, genomic background, community composition,....
