Evolution and dispersal of snakes across the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction.
Mass extinctions have repeatedly shaped global biodiversity. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction caused the demise of numerous vertebrate groups, and its aftermath saw the rapid diversification of surviving mammals...

Predation drives recurrent convergence of an interspecies mutualism.
Mutualisms are important ecological interactions that underpin much of the world's biodiversity. Predation risk has been shown to regulate mutualism dynamics in species-specific case studies; however, we lack studies which...

Domestication via the commensal pathway in a fish-invertebrate mutualism.
Domesticator-domesticate relationships are specialized mutualisms where one species provides multigenerational support to another in exchange for a resource or service, and through which both partners gain an advantage over...

An environmental (pre)history of European fishing
James H Barrett
Mar 27, 2019
This paper explores the past and potential contribution of archaeology to marine historical ecology. The primary focus is European fishing of marine and diadromous taxa, with global comparisons highlighting the wider...

Genomic consequences of domestication of the Siamese fighting fish.
Siamese fighting (betta) fish are among the most popular and morphologically diverse pet fish, but the genetic bases of their domestication and phenotypic diversification are largely unknown. We assembled de novo the genome of a...

What made Stan Wood a great collector?
TR Smithson, WDI Rolfe
Jun 22, 2017
Stan Wood was an exceptional fossil collector who, over a collecting career of more than 40 years, provided British palaeontology with an abundance and variety of new Carboniferous fossils the like of which had not been...

Bichir external gills arise via heterochronic shift that accelerates hyoid arch development.
In most vertebrates, pharyngeal arches form in a stereotypic anterior-to-posterior progression. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying evolutionary changes in pharyngeal arch development, here we investigate embryos and...
