Reproductive innovation enabled radiation in the deep sea during an ecological crisis

C. Brownstein, K. Zapfe, S. Lott, R. C. Harrington, A. Ghezelayagh, A. Dornburg, T. J. Near

This study shows how sexual parasitism and immune gene degeneration in anglerfishes enabled their evolutionary radiation into deep-sea pelagic habitats during a global warming event.

Considering decoupled phenotypic diversification between ontogenetic phases in macroevolution: An example using Triggerfishes (Balistidae)

A. Dornburg, K. Zapfe, R. Williams, M. Alfaro, R. Morris, H. Adachi, J. Flores, F. Santini, T. Near, B. Frederich

The paper examines ontogenetic variation in locomotor morphology of triggerfishes, revealing decoupled diversification dynamics between adult and juvenile stages.

Holosteans contextualize the role of the teleost genome duplication in promoting the rise of evolutionary novelties in the ray-finned fish innate immune system

A. Dornburg, D. J. Wcisel, K. Zapfe, E. Ferraro, L. Roupe-Abrams, A. W. Thompson, I. Braasch, T. Ota, J. A. Yoder

This study investigates the innate immune receptor diversity in Holostei, showing that their gene families predate the teleost genome duplication and rival teleost diversity, challenging assumptions about the TGD's role in immune innovation.
