   Tradeoffs explain scaling, sex differences, and seasonal oscillations in the remarkable weapons of snapping shrimp (Alpheus spp.)

   Jason P Dinh, SN Patek

   Observational field analyses demonstrate that within a species, variation in animal weapon size corresponds to individual differences in the costs and benefits of weaponry.

   Mutation of vsx genes in zebrafish highlights the robustness of the retinal specification network

   Joaquín Letelier, Lorena Buono ... Juan R Martínez-Morales

   Depletion of vsx genes in zebrafish confirms a conserved role in bipolar cells specification across vertebrates, but do not interfere with the formation of the neural retina domain, which reveal an unexpected robustness of the genetic network sustaining the retina.

   The impact of local genomic properties on the evolutionary fate of genes

   Yuichiro Hara, Shigehiro Kuraku

   The genomic features associated with a gene fate to loss have been retained for approximately 500 million years during evolution, and the genes with these features exhibit restricted expression profiles, leading to the genes being less important.
