    A scenario for an evolutionary selection of ageing

    Tristan Roget, Claire Macmurray ... Michael Rera
    Ageing is broadly accepted as a by-product of evolution, as thus, models allowing to conceive ageing as an adaptive force of evolution could show significant importance at a time of biogerontology mostly aiming at curing ageing.

    Insights into early animal evolution from the genome of the xenacoelomorph worm Xenoturbella bocki

    Philipp H Schiffer, Paschalis Natsidis ... Maximilian J Telford
    A genome analysis of Xenoturbella bocki provides insights into the biology of this enigmatic marine worm and enhances our understanding of early bilaterian evolution.

    Linking the evolution of two prefrontal brain regions to social and foraging challenges in primates

    Sebastien Bouret, Emmanuel Paradis ... Cecile Garcia
    Across primates, volumes of specific brain regions relate to specific socio-ecological factors, bridging the gap between neuro-cognitive operations from laboratory studies and challenges primates face in their natural environment.

    Somatic mutation rates scale with time not growth rate in long-lived tropical trees

    Akiko Satake, Ryosuke Imai ... Masahiro Kasahara
    Long-lived tropical trees in Southeast Asia accumulate somatic mutations in a manner that is dependent on time, rather than growth rate.
