The speed of sight: individual variation in critical flicker fusion thresholds

C. S. Haarlem, R. G. O'Connell, K. J. Mitchell, A. L. Jackson

This study examines variation in critical flicker fusion thresholds among and within healthy individuals, finding substantial between-individual differences and some within-individual variation, particularly in females.

Convergent evolution of skim feeding in baleen whales

L. Dutoit, K. J. Mitchell, N. Dussex, C. M. Kemper, P. Larsson, L. Dalen, N. J. Rawlence, F. G. Marx

This study sequenced the genome of pygmy right whales to resolve their evolutionary relationships and finds they are more closely related to rorquals than right whales, indicating convergent evolution of right whale-like features.

Ancient DNA from the extinct New Zealand grayling (Prototroctes oxyrhynchus) reveals evidence for Miocene marine dispersal

L. Scarsbrook, K. J. Mitchell, M. D. McGee, G. P. Closs, N. J. Rawlence

This study uses ancient DNA from extinct New Zealand grayling to show a Miocene marine dispersal event between New Zealand and Australia.

Ancient genomes reveal hybridisation between extinct short-faced bears and the extant spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatus)

A. T. Salis, G. Gower, B. W. Schubert, L. H. Soibelzon, H. Heiniger, A. Prieto, F. J. Prevosti, J. Meachen, A. Cooper, K. J. Mitchell

The paper uses ancient nuclear genome sequences to show that the extant spectacled bear has ancestry from Pleistocene hybridization with an extinct short-faced bear lineage, causing discordance between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies.
