The paper investigates genomic mechanisms underlying independent transitions to terrestrial life across species, finding lineage-specific gene changes that converge functionally.

This study identifies gene gain and regulatory shifts in terrestrial planarians as key mechanisms for terrestrialization, showing distinct stress response toolkits compared to freshwater relatives.

This study compares toxin and mucus protein evolution in aquatic and terrestrial flatworms, finding broader toxin gene repertoires and distinct functional expansions in terrestrial species.
