Ecological Diversification into Broad Thermal Niches Revealed by Protein Resurrection and Proteome-Wide Ancestral Reconstruction During the Rapid Radiation of Alvinellid Worms

This study uses protein resurrection and ancestral reconstruction to show that Alvinellid worms' last common ancestor had highly stable proteins, similar to modern thermotolerant species, revealing how they diversified into thermal niches.

Comparative population genomics unveils congruent secondary suture zone in Southwest Pacific Hydrothermal Vents

This study uses comparative population genomics to identify a shared phylogeographic break in seven hydrothermal vent species, revealing patterns of lineage divergence and gene flow in the Southwest Pacific.
