The study shows that male Aesculapian snakes prefer buildings while females prefer woodland, highlighting the role of human habitats in their success as an introduced ectothermic predator.

This study integrates genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from the small-spotted catshark to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

The paper identifies 204 novel genes affecting vertebral development in mice by analyzing whole-gene knockouts from the IMPC dataset and categorizes their phenotypes.

This study evaluates the suitability of DNA from shed skin for genotyping-by-sequencing in reptiles, finding it viable with deeper sequencing and accounting for GC content.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome of the Mongolian gerbil with sequenced centromeres, revealing new insights into centromere structure and heterochromatin distribution.

The paper analyzes genome rearrangements in six rodent genomes and finds no strong correlation between breakpoint regions and previously proposed genomic features, suggesting alternative explanations for karyotypic evolution.

The paper proposes a mechanism for the greater loss of female embryos during human pregnancy, linking it to differences in genetic and metabolic profiles and maternal stress.

The paper constructs a high-density genetic map and develops a molecular sex-typing assay for Mongolian gerbils using GBS data and linkage analysis.

The paper shows genetic divergence in isolated rodent colonies, highlighting its impact on replication and opportunities for genetic studies.

The paper calculates the probability of adjacent opposite-sex fetuses in uterine horns across species with varying gender distributions and litter sizes.
