Convergent adaptation of true crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) to a gradient of terrestrial environments

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of true crabs to understand their adaptation to terrestrial environments, finding multiple convergent transitions from marine to terrestrial lifestyles.

Major revisions in pancrustacean phylogeny with recommendations for resolving challenging nodes

This paper revises pancrustacean phylogeny using expanded taxon sampling and phylogenomic analyses, rejecting several clades and proposing new groupings.

Microbiome Dynamics of Bovine Mastitis Progression and Genomic Determinants

This study profiles microbiome dynamics across mastitis states in cows, identifying virulence factors, antibiotic resistance genes, and functional correlations to inform diagnostics and therapeutics.

Deep ancestral introgression shapes evolutionary history of dragonflies and damselflies

The paper investigates introgression in dragonflies and damselflies, showing it is widespread and has shaped their evolutionary history, including deep ancestral introgression between superfamily lineages.

Exon probe sets and bioinformatics pipelines for all levels of fish phylogenomics

The paper presents seven new exon probe sets and a bioinformatics pipeline for fish phylogenomics, enabling accurate phylogenetic analysis by filtering paralogs and integrating old and new data.

Resistome diversity in bovine clinical mastitis microbiome, a signature concurrence

This study identifies resistome diversity in bovine clinical mastitis microbiomes and links it to microbiome composition and antibiotic resistance.

Environmental DNA survey captures patterns of fish and invertebrate diversity across a tropical seascape

The paper uses eDNA surveys to assess fish and invertebrate diversity across a tropical Caribbean bay, finding significant community differences driven by habitat specialists and wave tolerance.

A phylogenomic framework, evolutionary timeline, and genomic resources for comparative studies of decapod crustaceans

This paper presents a phylogenomic framework for decapod crustaceans using a new enrichment kit, revealing evolutionary timelines and genomic resources for comparative studies.
