Although primarily studied through the lens of community ecology, phenomena consistent
with priority effects appear to be widespread across many different scenarios spanning a …

Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By
aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect …

The cognitive abilities of humans are distinctive among primates, but their molecular and
cellular substrates are poorly understood. We used comparative single-nucleus …

We examined transposable element (TE) content of 248 placental mammal genome
assemblies, the largest de novo TE curation effort in eukaryotes to date. We found that …

Species persistence can be influenced by the amount, type, and distribution of diversity
across the genome, suggesting a potential relationship between historical demography and …

Studies examining the evolution of genomes have focused mainly on sequence
conservation. However, the inner working of a cell implies tightly regulated crosstalk …

The phylogeny and divergence timing of the Neoavian radiation remain controversial
despite recent progress. We analyzed the genomes of 124 species across all Neoavian …

Personal names are a universal feature of human language, yet few analogues exist in other
species. While dolphins and parrots address conspecifics by imitating the calls of the …

The evolutionary histories of major clades, including mammals, often comprise changes in
their diversification dynamics, but how these changes occur remains debated. We combined …

Mechanistic understanding of the inhibitory immunoreceptor PD-1 is largely based on
mouse models, but human and mouse PD-1 share only 59.6% amino acid identity. Here, we …
