   The conserved genetic program of male germ cells uncovers ancient regulators of human spermatogenesis

   Rion Brattig-Correia, Joana M Almeida ... Paulo Navarro-Costa

   An interdisciplinary research platform reveals that the transcriptional identity of metazoan male germ cells is built around a small network of deeply conserved gene interactions with an overarching functional impact.

   Alasemenia, the earliest ovule with three wings and without cupule

   Deming Wang, Jiangnan Yang ... Pu Huang

   Early seeds without cupules evolved functions in wind dispersal and probable photosynthetic nutrition and three-winged seeds are more adapted to wind dispersal than seeds with one, two, or four wings.

   Whole genomes from the extinct Xerces Blue butterfly can help identify declining insect species

   Toni de-Dios, Claudia Fontsere ... Carles Lalueza-Fox

   The retrieval of whole genomes from museum specimens from the extinct Xerxes Blue butterfly shows signals of population decline that could be use to identify present-day endangered insect species.

    Multiple origins of dorsal ecdysial sutures in trilobites and their relatives

    Kun-sheng Du, Jin Guo ... Ai-lin Chen

    New morphological information on the Cambrian artiopodan Acanthomeridion, including CT data, demonstrate that dorsal ecdysial sutures likely evolved multiple times within this group.
