The common ancestor of extant mammalian coronaviruses originated recently in a bat species and their diversification occurred via preferential host switches rather than through codiversification with mammals.

A broad and inclusive view of sex biases in hybrid dysfunction, irrespective of sexual system, expands the reach of Haldane's rule to help characterize the underlying forces and mechanisms responsible for predictable sex biases in evolutionary divergence and speciation.

Porcelaneous foraminifera, marine calcifiers, reveal their biomineralization secrets.

Discovery of new taxon of Saccorhytida suggests that the ground pattern of Ecdysozoa may not be elongated vermiform instead sac-like in shape.

Secondary active transporters can evolve to accommodate a broader range of substrates without losing their original substrate specificities.

As a result of frequent gene duplication and haplotypic variation, a family of immune genes in the model vertebrate zebrafish has thousands of gene copies that are population- or individual-specific.

The long mandibles were gradually replaced by more flexible trunks in the evolution of proboscideans.

Comparative transcriptome analyses of human placenta reveal regulatory divergence between native highlanders and lowland immigrants living at high altitude, and a sex-biased pattern of genetic adaptation.
