Natural selection shaped CHC22 clathrin genetic variation in humans with different diets and potentially influenced the human insulin response.

Despite risks of infection and reduced fitness, tooth fracture frequency in gray wolves increases rapidly when prey are scarce because they must consume carcasses more completely.

Skd3 (human ClpB) is a potent ATP-dependent mitochondrial protein disaggregase that is activated by the rhomboid protease, PARL, and inactivated by MGCA7-linked mutations.

High-quality genomes can be obtained from roadkill samples and used in population genomics for species delimitation with conservation implications.

A paternal bias in germline mutation is seen throughout amniotes and may be explained by sex differences in DNA damage and repair after primordial germ cell specification.

During hibernation, animals remodel the structure of their relaxed muscle via a protein called myosin and this enables vast temperature changes.

Spatial segregation is identified as the primary mechanism facilitating the coexistence of apex and mesocarnivores in the Qilian Mountain National Park, China.
