The evolutionary‐developmental origins of multicellularity
KJ Niklas - American journal of botany, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Multicellularity has evolved at least once in every major eukaryotic clade (in all ploidy levels)
and numerous times among the prokaryotes. According to a standard multilevel selection …

The origins of multicellular organisms
KJ Niklas, SA Newman - Evolution & development, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Multicellularity has evolved in several eukaryotic lineages leading to plants, fungi, and
animals. Theoretically, in each case, this involved (1) cell‐to‐cell adhesion with an …

Emergence of diverse life cycles and life histories at the origin of multicellularity
The evolution of multicellularity has given rise to a remarkable diversity of multicellular life
cycles and life histories. Whereas some multicellular organisms are long-lived, grow through …

Contrasting the impact of cytotoxic and cytostatic drug therapies on tumour progression
A tumour grows when the total division (birth) rate of its cells exceeds their total mortality
(death) rate. The capability for uncontrolled growth within the host tissue is acquired via the …
