The genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies

J. Cerca, B. Petersen, J. M. Lazaro Guevara, A. Rivera-Colon, S. Birkeland, J. Vizueta, S. Li, J. Loureiro, C. Kosawang, P. Jaramillo Diaz, G. Rivas-Torres, M. Fernandez-Mazuecos, P. Vargas, R. McCauley, G. Petersen, , M. D. Martin

This study characterizes the genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies by analyzing the genome of Scalesia atractyloides, identifying subgenomes, polyploidization events, and genes under selection.

Biodiversity Soup II: A bulk-sample metabarcoding pipeline emphasizing error reduction

C. Yang, K. Bohmann, X. Wang, W. Cai, N. Wales, Z. Ding, S. Gopalakrishnan, D. W. Yu

This paper introduces a metabarcoding pipeline to reduce errors in bulk-sample sequencing, showing reduced false positives and biases but no recovery of relative-abundance information.

Inactivation of thermogenic UCP1 as a historical contingency in multiple placental mammal clades

M. J. Gaudry, M. Jastroch, J. R. Treberg, M. Hofreiter, J. L. A. Paijmans, J. Starrett, N. Wales, A. V. Signore, M. S. Springer, K. L. Campbell

The paper shows that inactivation of UCP1 occurred in multiple placental mammal clades and is linked to reduced metabolic intensity and increased body mass during periods of global cooling.
