Cartilaginous fish inform the lineage-specific evolution and MHC association of the TLR family

Fabiana Neves, Antonio Muñoz‐Mérida, Ana Lemos de Matos…·Ana Veríssimo

This study characterizes TLR gene diversity in elasmobranchs, identifying lineage-specific duplications and losses, and links TLRs to immune gene-rich genomic regions.

From ashes to adaptation: the impact of wildfires on the diet of Podarcis lusitanicus revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Cristiane Araújo Simões, Diana S. Vasconcelos, Raquel Xavier…·David James Harris

This study uses DNA metabarcoding to show that wildfire impacts diet composition of Podarcis lusitanicus, with shifts in prey species between recently burned and unburned areas.
