Analysis of bearded dragon model reveals a novel tooth replacement strategy that demonstrates the critical importance of epithelial patterning, cell migration, and putative stem cell functional specialization in tissue regeneration.

Similar patterns of genomic divergence have been observed in the evolution of plant species separated by oceans.

After insemination, honeybee queens experience a rapid reduction in vision and flight performance, consistent with an ongoing sexual conflict over the number of mating flights that queens embark on.

Genome engineering and phenotyping in vivo reveal surprising new features of adaptive amino acid substitutions that were previously inaccessible.

Apicomplexan-like parasites originated several times independently and many of them contain cryptic plastid organelles, which demonstrate that the parasites evolved from photosynthetic algae.

Each dengue serotype contains moderate antigenic diversity, and population immunity drives clade turnover in a hyperendemic population.

High reproductive effort constrains bone tissue response to physical activity-induced mechanical loading.

Measurements of bar-headed geese flying in a wind tunnel in hypoxia reveal that these birds sustain aerobic flight at high altitude via a reduction in metabolism.

Sexual differentiation controlled by sex-specific mRNA splicing evolved in a step-wise manner in insects.

Bar-headed geese lower their flight metabolic rates to fly in low-oxygen conditions.
