The paper investigates olfactory receptor repertoire variation in New World monkeys, finding that lineage-specific histories, not shared ecological drivers, shape olfactory evolution.

This study identifies parallel genomic changes across arthropod lineages that independently transitioned to land, revealing shared molecular strategies for terrestrial adaptation.

The study uses MRI data from 70 primate species to show that neocortical folding and organisation depend on mechanical morphogenesis, not just genetics and experience.
