Formerly, it was theorized that pathogens should always evolve to be less virulent. As observations were not in line with this theoretical outcome, new theories emerged, chief among them the transmission–virulence trade-off hypotheses, which predicts an intermediate level of virulence as the endpoint of evolution. At the moment, we are very much interested in the future evolution of COVID-19’s virulence. Here, we show that the disease does not fulfill all the assumptions of the hypothesis. In the case of COVID-19, a higher viral load does not mean a higher risk of death; immunity is not long-lasting; other hosts can act as reservoirs for the virus; and death as a consequence of viral infection does not shorten the infectious period. Consequently, we cannot predict the short- or long-term evolution of the virulence of COVID-19.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2676-8607}, pages = {69-80}, orcid-numbers = {Kun, Ádám/0000-0002-8409-8521; Hubai, András Gábor/0000-0002-1941-7688} } @article{MTMT:33567122, title = {Is there still evolution in the human population?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33567122}, author = {Kun, Ádám}, doi = {10.1007/s42977-022-00146-z}, journal-iso = {BIOL FUTURA}, journal = {BIOLOGIA FUTURA}, volume = {73}, unique-id = {33567122}, issn = {2676-8615}, abstract = {It is often claimed that humanity has stopped evolving because modern medicine erased all selection on survival. Even if that would be true, and it is not, there would be other mechanisms of evolution which could still led to changes in allelic frequencies. Here I show, by applying basic evolutionary genetics knowledge, that we expect humanity to evolve. The results from genome sequencing projects have repeatedly affirmed that there are still recent signs of selection in our genomes. I give some examples of such adaptation.

The Darwin–Bateman paradigm argues that the root of these differences is anisogamy (i.e., differences in size and/or function of gametes between the sexes) that leads to biased sexual selection, and sex differences in parental care and body size. This evolutionary cascade, however, is contentious since some of the underpinning assumptions have been questioned. Here we investigate the relationships between anisogamy, sexual size dimorphism, sex difference in parental care and intensity of sexual selection using phylogenetic comparative analyses of 64 species from a wide range of animal taxa. The results question the first step of the Darwin–Bateman paradigm, as the extent of anisogamy does not appear to predict the intensity of sexual selection. The only significant predictor of sexual selection is the relative inputs of males and females into the care of offspring. We propose that ecological factors, life-history and demography have more substantial impacts on contemporary sex roles than the differences of gametic investments between the sexes.}, year = {2021}, eissn = {2045-2322}, orcid-numbers = {Scheuring, István/0000-0002-8108-8897; Liker, András/0000-0001-8545-4869; Freckleton, Robert P./0000-0002-8338-864X} } @article{MTMT:31847384, title = {Catalytic promiscuity in the RNA World may have aided the evolution of prebiotic metabolism}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31847384}, author = {Vörös, Dániel and Könnyű, Balázs and Czárán, Tamás}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008634}, journal-iso = {PLOS COMPUT BIOL}, journal = {PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY}, volume = {17}, unique-id = {31847384}, issn = {1553-734X}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1553-7358}, orcid-numbers = {Vörös, Dániel/0000-0002-6543-3953; Könnyű, Balázs/0000-0002-9729-1224; Czárán, Tamás/0000-0002-2722-6208} } @article{MTMT:31801416, title = {Is working less really good for the environment?
