   Cryptovaranoides is not a squamate

   Michael W Caldwell, Chase D Brownstein ... Tiago R Simões

   Claims for a Triassic-aged crown lizard merit detailed reanalysis, the results of which find that Cryptovaranoides is not only not a lizard, but is a more distantly related diapsid reptile.

   Lifestyles shape genome size and gene content in fungal pathogens

   Anna Fijarczyk, Pauline Hessenauer ... Christian R Landry

   A genomic analysis shows that the evolution of genome size and gene content among fungal pathogens in the class Sordariomycetes varies depending on their interactions with hosts and vectors.

   Integration of multi-level dental diversity links macro-evolutionary patterns to ecological strategies across sharks

   Roland Zimm, Vitória Tobias Santos, Nicolas Goudemand

   Shark dentition is a complex and hyper-diverse trait integrating multiple spatial levels, with mid-scale features being most crucial for functional adaptation, revealing evolutionary patterns that offer insights into distinct ecological strategies.
