    Evolution of hind limb morphology of Titanosauriformes (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) analyzed via 3D geometric morphometrics reveals wide-gauge posture as an exaptation for gigantism

    Adrián Páramo, Pedro Mocho ... Francisco Ortega
    Wide-gauge posture in the limb skeleton of Titanosauriformes is an exaptation to gigantism, as it is not correlated with body size in deeply branching titanosaurs.

    Iridescent structural coloration in a crested Cretaceous enantiornithine bird from the Jehol Biota

    Zhiheng Li, Jinsheng Hu ... Julia A Clarke
    The combination of histological and microscopic techniques, along with the initial application of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) modeling to a fossil feather, has resulted in the first recovery of specific iridescent color patterns.

    Weak evidence for heritable changes in response to selection by aphids in Arabidopsis accessions

    Marc W Schmid, Klara Kropivšek ... Ueli Grossniklaus
    Strong selection by aphids only weakly affects epigenetic and phenotypic variation within three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, demonstrating limited potential for adaptation by epigenetic differentiation within genotypes in this model species.

    Recurrent mutations drive the rapid evolution of pesticide resistance in the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae

    Li-Jun Cao, Jin-Cui Chen ... Shu-Jun Wei
    The rapid development of pesticide resistance in a mite across wide geographical areas is linked to the independent and repeated emergence of multiple mutations in target genes.
