Origin and stepwise evolution of vertebrate lungs
Lungs are essential respiratory organs in terrestrial vertebrates, present in most bony fishes but absent in cartilaginous fishes, making them an i…

Genomic and phenotypic evidence support visual and olfactory shifts in primate evolution
Sensory trade-offs between vision and olfaction in the evolution and radiation of primates have long been debated. However, insights have been limi…
Stem cell transcriptional profiles from mouse subspecies reveal cis-regulatory evolution at translation genes
A key goal of evolutionary genomics is to harness molecular data to draw inferences about selective forces that have acted on genomes. The field pr…
Multigenerational hybridisation results in heterosis and facilitates adaptive introgression, with no evidence of outbreeding depression in a pair of marine gastropods
Anthropogenic environmental changes continue to threaten species globally. For example, translocation of species has caused unintentional hybridisa…
Five millennia of mitonuclear discordance in Atlantic bluefin tuna identified using ancient DNA
Mitonuclear discordance between species is readily documented in marine fishes. Such discordance may either be the result of past natural phenomena…
