   Natural selection and repeated patterns of molecular evolution following allopatric divergence

   Yibo Dong et al.

   The genomic architecture of allopatric species is a mosaic of many conserved genes and a few adaptive ones, reflecting balance between conservation of ancestral functions and evolution of new features.

   The alternative regenerative strategy of bearded dragon unveils the key processes underlying vertebrate tooth renewal

   Lotta Salomies et al.

   Analysis of bearded dragon model reveals a novel tooth replacement strategy that demonstrates the critical importance of epithelial patterning, cell migration, and putative stem cell functional specialization in tissue regeneration.

   Seminal fluid compromises visual perception in honeybee queens reducing their survival during additional mating flights

   Joanito Liberti et al.

   After insemination, honeybee queens experience a rapid reduction in vision and flight performance, consistent with an ongoing sexual conflict over the number of mating flights that queens embark on.

   Adaptive substitutions underlying cardiac glycoside insensitivity in insects exhibit epistasis in vivo

   Andrew M Taverner et al.

   Genome engineering and phenotyping in vivo reveal surprising new features of adaptive amino acid substitutions that were previously inaccessible.

   Apicomplexan-like parasites are polyphyletic and widely but selectively dependent on cryptic plastid organelles

   Jan Janouškovec et al.

   Apicomplexan-like parasites originated several times independently and many of them contain cryptic plastid organelles, which demonstrate that the parasites evolved from photosynthetic algae.
