   Radiocarbon and genomic evidence for the survival of Equus Sussemionus until the late Holocene

   Dawei Cai et al.

   The first nuclear genomes of the Equus (Sussemionus) ovodovi enable us to reconstruct the speciation and extinction trajectory of this lineage.

   Hybridization alters the shape of the genotypic fitness landscape, increasing access to novel fitness peaks during adaptive radiation

   Austin H Patton et al.

   Hybridization not only generates genetic diversity, but this diversity can alter the shape of the fitness landscape, changing which genotypic combinations are favored by natural selection and which accessible genotypic paths lead to novel fitness peaks.

   Epistatic selection on a selfish Segregation Distorter supergene – drive, recombination, and genetic load

   Beatriz Navarro-Dominguez et al.

   African haplotypes of a meiotic drive supergene in Drosophila melanogaster called Segregation Distorter show signs of a recent selective sweep, reduced recombination, and increased genetic load.

   Parasite defensive limb movements enhance acoustic signal attraction in male little torrent frogs

   Longhui Zhao et al.

   Multimodal signals may evolve from unimodal one via co-option of primary signal components and associated cues that serve as by-products.

   Heterogeneity of the GFP fitness landscape and data-driven protein design

   Louisa Gonzalez Somermeyer et al.

   Orthologous proteins display different mutational robustness that can be leveraged to improve prediction of functional sequences.

   Functional and structural segregation of overlapping helices in HIV-1

   Maliheh Safari et al.

   The HIV proteins Env and Rev encode helices that overlap in the viral genome but alternate in functional importance so that the non-functional surface of one helix encodes the functional surface of the other.
