Shel Silverstein Discography

The many-plumed moths are the Alucitidae, a family of moths with unusually modified wings.
Both fore- and hind-wings consist of about six rigid spines, from which radiate flexible bristles.
They make a structure similar to a bird's feather.
This is a small family, with 9 genera and 130 species.
They are found mostly in temperate to subtropical (but not tropical) regions.
They are rare even in parts of their core range; both in Great Britain and North America for example, only one species is found – the Twenty-plume Moth (Alucita hexadactyla) – and in America, it is introduced.
This smallish moth may be found fluttering in the evening twilight or resting with its "wings" outstretched.
Its larvae feed on honeysuckle (Lonicera).
On the other hand, in Continental Europe there are many species, mostly of the large genus Alucita.

An evolutionary arms race is when two species (or populations) are so linked that a change in one indirectly causes a change in the other.
It is a metaphor drawn from the so-called arms race between the West and the Soviet Union, after the second world war.
Evolutonary arms races are a kind of coevolution.
Predatorprey evolution is the classic example.
A new twist by the predator must be answered with a new defence by the prey.
Conifers grew tall, to some extent out of the reach of sauropod dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs grew taller and continued eating the conifers.
Gazelles run fast and so do cheetahs; both have been under a continual series of similar changes which increase their running speed.
The rough-skinned newt, the garter snake and toxin resistance is a well-researched case study.
Where the two species live together, the newt produces more toxin, and the snake has evolved to resist it; where they live separately the newt toxin is milder, and the snake has little resistance.
The snakes pay a price for their resistance: their digestion and body metabolism is slower than related species. "
Really resistant snakes have slower crawl speeds than snakes with little or no resistance".
Parasitehost evolution is another classic.
As a host species splits into two, so do its parasites.
And when the host immune system defends against the parasites, so they adapt and survive.
Sexual selection can be a kind of evolutionary arms race.
Female mating preferences are known to be responsible for the  evolution of male secondary sex characteristics.
Selection is between males in species where female choice is the pairing method.
Sexual conflict between breeding partners is quite common.
The basic interests of the male and female can be quite different, and each develops adaptations to get the best 'deal' in terms of offspring.
Females: Their interest is to mate with a large number of fit males, thus producing a large number of fit and varied offspring.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a process in living cells.
It adjusts (moderates) the activity of their genes.
RNAi molecules are a key to gene regulation.
In 2006, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on RNA interference in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, published in 1998.
Two types of small RNA molecules – microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) – do the work.
These small RNAs bind to normal messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules and increase or decrease their activity.
They can prevent a mRNA from producing a protein.
RNA interference defends cells against foreign nucleotide sequences – viruses and transposons.
Also, they control development, and gene expression in general.
The RNAi pathway is found in many eukaryotes including animals.
RNAi is a valuable research tool, in cell culture and in living organisms.
Synthetic dsRNA introduced into cells can suppress  specific genes of interest.
RNAi may be used for large-scale screens that shut down each gene to analyse cellular process or  cell division.
The pathway is also used as a practical tool in biotechnology and medicine.
