Subdivision of ancestral scale genetic program underlies origin of feathers and avian scutate scales

Jacob M. Musser, Günter P. Wagner, Cong Liang, Frank A. Stabile, Alison Cloutier, Allan J. Baker, Richard O. Prum

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of feathers and avian scales by comparing transcriptomes from chicken, emu, and alligator skin appendages, revealing shared gene expression patterns between feathers and scutate scales.

Natural selection shaped the rise and fall of passenger pigeon genomic diversity

Gemma G. R. Murray, André E. R. Soares, Ben J. Novak, Nathan K. Schaefer, James A. Cahill, Allan J. Baker, John R. Demboski, Andrew C. Doll, Rute R. da Fonseca, Tara L. Fulton, Marcus Thomas P. Gilbert, Peter D. Heintzman, Brandon Letts, George C. McIntosh, Brendan L. O’Connell, , Beth Shapiro

The paper analyzes genomic data from passenger pigeons and their relatives to show that natural selection reduced neutral genetic diversity despite large population size, challenging previous extinction theories.
