The paper uses whole-genome phylogenomic and synteny data to resolve the evolutionary origin of flatfish body asymmetry, finding strong support for a single origin.

The paper uses genomic data to determine whether flatfish asymmetry evolved once or multiple times, finding strong support for a single origin.

This study shows that changes in vertebral regionalisation in African cichlids are driven by somite number changes, with homeotic effects as a by-product, and that intraspecific variation is canalised and decoupled from macroevolutionary patterns.

The paper examines macroevolutionary dynamics in African cichlid radiations, finding inverse correlation between vertebral count evolution rates and radiation age, but no early burst pattern within individual systems.
