Bird species with higher plasma glucose show comparatively lower albumin glycation, suggesting the evolution of glycation resistance mechanisms, and terrestrial carnivores present higher glycation than omnivores.
Paleodemographic analyses in a hypothesis-testing framework show that the major life-history trait of seasonal migration has strong effects on long-term effective population sizes in a clade of songbirds.

Adaptive gene expression in the common shrew hypothalamus connects energy homeostasis with reversible brain size changes in response to seasonal environmental challenges.
A shared molecular basis of proteoglycan accumulation, driven by Wnt signaling, underlies the parallel evolution of hypertrophied lips in East African cichlids.
Chitons overcome evolutionary constraints through unprecedented genomic dynamism, with extensive chromosomal rearrangements and duplications despite about 300 million years of morphological stasis.
