A major goal of evolutionary genetics is to understand the genetic processes that give rise to
phenotypic diversity in multicellular organisms. Alternative splicing generates multiple …

Mountains are key features of the Earth's surface and host a substantial proportion of the
world's species. However, the links between the evolution and distribution of biodiversity …

We present the fifth edition of the TimeTree of Life resource (TToL5), a product of the
timetree of life project that aims to synthesize published molecular timetrees and make …

Phylogenetic comparative methods comprise the general endeavor of using an estimated
phylogenetic tree (or set of trees) to make secondary inferences: about trait evolution …

Understanding how species' thermal limits have evolved across the tree of life is central to
predicting species' responses to climate change. Here, using experimentally-derived …

Premise of the Study Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns
that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These …

Mutations that accumulate in the genome of cells or viruses can be used to infer their
evolutionary history. In the case of rapidly evolving organisms, genomes can reveal their …

Despite the great progress in translational research concerning skin wound healing in the
last few decades, no animal model fully predicts all clinical outcomes. The mouse is the most …

Shifts in phenology are already resulting in disruptions to the timing of migration and
breeding, and asynchronies between interacting species,,,–. Recent syntheses have …

The human genome encodes some 350 Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing
zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs), the products of a rapidly evolving gene family that has been …
