Analysis of hundreds of single-cell genomes from Yellowstone National Park shows bacterial species are less cohesive than previously thought.

Claims for a Triassic-aged crown lizard merit detailed reanalysis, the results of which find that Cryptovaranoides is not only not a lizard, but is a more distantly related diapsid reptile.

Up-to-date computational pipeline characterizes G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) repertoires in the closest relatives of metazoans, providing a framework to investigate the evolutionary origins and ancestral functions of key metazoan signaling pathways.

A genomic analysis shows that the evolution of genome size and gene content among fungal pathogens in the class Sordariomycetes varies depending on their interactions with hosts and vectors.

The zebrafish brain combines a conserved heterogeneity of immune cells with a unique dendritic cell-like population.

Shark dentition is a complex and hyper-diverse trait integrating multiple spatial levels, with mid-scale features being most crucial for functional adaptation, revealing evolutionary patterns that offer insights into distinct ecological strategies.

An evolutionary perspective on immune priming across plants and invertebrates highlights the roles of microbiomes and epigenetic regulation in shaping innate immune memory with promising applications in agriculture and aquaculture.
