A cis-regulatory sequence of the wing selector gene, vestigial, drives the evolution of scaling relationships in Drosophila species

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to replace a cis-regulatory element in Drosophila melanogaster, showing it alters wing-to-tibia scaling, supporting the role of regulatory changes in evolutionary allometry.

Historical biogeography of early diverging termite lineages (Isoptera: Teletisoptera)

This paper reconstructs the historical biogeography of early diverging termite lineages using genetic data, finding that their distribution resulted from both over-water dispersals and land bridge migrations.
