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.

Phylogenomic Analyses Of 2,786 Genes In 158 Lineages Support a Root of The Eukaryotic Tree of Life Between Opisthokonts (Animals, Fungi and Their Microbial Relatives) and All Other Lineages

M. A. Ceron Romero, M. M. Fonseca, L. d. O. Martins, D. Posada, L. A. Katz

This study uses gene tree-species tree reconciliation on a large dataset to determine the root of the eukaryotic tree of life, supporting a root between Opisthokonta and all other eukaryotes.
