A drastic shift in the energetic landscape of toothed whale sperm cells

L. Q. Alves, R. Ruivo, R. Valente, M. M. Fonseca, A. M. Machado, S. Plon, N. Monteiro, D. Garcia-Parraga, S. Ruiz-Diaz, M. L. Sanchez-Calabuig, A. Gutierrez-Adan, F. Castro

The paper shows toothed whale sperm cells rely on fatty acid beta-oxidation instead of glycolysis for motility due to gene erosion, highlighting an adaptation to marine environments.

Convergent inactivation of the skin-specific C-C motif chemokine ligand 27 in mammalian evolution

M. Lopes-Marques, L. Q. Alves, M. Fonseca, G. Secci-Petretto, A. M. Machado, R. Ruivo, F. Castro

The paper investigates the convergent inactivation of Ccl27 across multiple mammalian lineages and links it to adaptive changes in skin physiology.

The singularity of Cetacea behaviour parallels the complete inactivation of melatonin gene modules

M. Lopes-Marques, R. Ruivo, L. Q. Alves, N. Sousa, A. M. Machado, L. F. C. Castro

The paper examines melatonin-related gene modules in cetacean genomes and finds they are eroded, paralleling their unique behavioral traits.
