    Dinosaur bonebed amber from an original swamp forest soil

    Sergio Álvarez-Parra, Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente ... Xavier Delclòs
    The most prolific and oldest locality in which a rich dinosaur bonebed and fossiliferous amber have been found in association is revealed, allowing the reconstruction of an ancient terrestrial ecosystem with a detail and accuracy reached only exceptionally in palaeontology.

    Selfing is the safest sex for Caenorhabditis tropicalis

    Luke M Noble, John Yuen ... Matthew V Rockman
    Out breeding depression in Caenorhabditis tropicalis is due to common maternal-offspring incompatibilities that interact with a highly heterogeneous genetic background and may provide a short-term advantage to inbreeding.

    DRAXIN regulates interhemispheric fissure remodelling to influence the extent of corpus callosum formation

    Laura Morcom, Timothy J Edwards ... Linda J Richards
    Incomplete interhemispheric fissure remodelling determines corpus callosum size in humans and BTBR N2 mice that carry a deletion in Draxin.
