    A recurrent regulatory change underlying altered expression and Wnt response of the stickleback armor plates gene EDA

    Natasha M O'Brown, Brian R Summers ... David M Kingsley
    An identical DNA base pair change has occurred in divergent sticklebacks to alter the expression of a major developmental gene controlling armor plates, thus providing a molecular link between particular enhancer changes, cell signaling, and repeated skeletal evolution in natural populations.

    Predominance of cis-regulatory changes in parallel expression divergence of sticklebacks

    Jukka-Pekka Verta, Felicity C Jones
    Cis-regulation such as enhancers and promoters plays a major role in parallel gene expression divergence and has features that make it a well-poised substrate for adaptive evolution.

    A novel enhancer near the Pitx1 gene influences development and evolution of pelvic appendages in vertebrates

    Abbey C Thompson, Terence D Capellini ... David M Kingsley
    Regulatory sequences downstream of a key limb identity gene are required for normal sizes of leg bones, and are changed in wild species with dramatic alterations in pelvic structures.

    Chromosome-level genome assembly of hadal snailfish reveals mechanisms of deep-sea adaptation in vertebrates

    Wenjie Xu, Chenglong Zhu ... Kun Wang
    The hadal snailfish rapidly evolved and adapted to extreme deep-sea environments, modifying crucial genes and enhancing tolerance to high-hydrostatic pressure through ferritin gene duplication.

    Ancient origin of lubricated joints in bony vertebrates

    Amjad Askary, Joanna Smeeton ... J Gage Crump
    Zebrafish have lubricated joints similar to ours and are a tractable model for arthritis research.

    Sequential phenotypic constraints on social information use in wild baboons

    Alecia J Carter, Miquel Torrents Ticó, Guy Cowlishaw
    Social information is a process encompassing information acquisition, application and exploitation that is constrained by an individual’s social, behavioural and demographic phenotype.

    The genetic basis for ecological adaptation of the Atlantic herring revealed by genome sequencing

    Alvaro Martinez Barrio, Sangeet Lamichhaney ... Leif Andersson
    Whole genome sequencing of 19 populations of Atlantic and Baltic herring reveals hundreds of individual loci underlying adaptation to a low salinity niche or timing of reproduction.

    An integrative genomic analysis of the Longshanks selection experiment for longer limbs in mice

    João PL Castro, Michelle N Yancoskie ... Yingguang Frank Chan
    Genome sequencing of mice selected for longer limbs reveals that rapid selection response is due to both discrete loci and polygenic adaptation.

    The evolutionary history and genomics of European blackcap migration

    Kira Delmore, Juan Carlos Illera ... Miriam Liedvogel
    Variation in migration can evolve rapidly and traits that comprise this behaviour may be determined by standing variation at a few regulatory regions that are not common across taxonomic groups.
