   Gene flow mediates the role of sex chromosome meiotic drive during complex speciation

   Colin D Meiklejohn et al.

   Selfish genetic elements may either promote or prevent the evolution of reproductive barriers, depending on the extent of gene flow between species.

   Single nucleus sequencing reveals evidence of inter-nucleus recombination in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

   Eric CH Chen et al.

   Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi generate nuclear diversity in the dikaryotic life-stage stage via inter-nucleus recombination.

   Support for a clade of Placozoa and Cnidaria in genes with minimal compositional bias

   Christopher E Laumer et al.

   Protein coding genes strongly support a sister group relationship between Placozoa and Cnidaria to the exclusion of Bilateria, contradicting previous phylogenies, which have likely been misled by pervasive compositional heterogeneity.

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

   Abbey C Thompson et al.

   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.

   Point of View: Managing a sustainable deep-sea ‘blue economy’ requires knowledge of what actually lives there

   Adrian G Glover et al.

   High-throughput, integrative taxonomy has a crucial role to play in ensuring that the resources in our oceans are managed and developed in a sustainable manner.

   Can Hamilton’s rule be violated?

   Matthijs van Veelen

   Hamilton's rule can be violated when costs and benefits of cooperation are defined using the counterfactual method, and when they depend on the cooperation of others.
