This study uses nuclear phylogenomics to resolve the family-level backbone of Zingiberales, finding that deep node instability is due to rapid divergence and incomplete lineage sorting, not hybridization.

The paper describes a new plant species, Pulsatilla hezijianensis, from Beijing, China, and assesses its conservation status as Critically Endangered.

The paper rediscoveres Paroxygraphis in China, reclassifies it within Oxygraphis using phylogenetic analysis, and highlights its critically endangered status.

This study reports the genome of Ridgeia piscesae, revealing that small genome size and positive selection on cell proliferation genes contribute to its high growth rates in deep-sea environments.

This study reports the genome of Chiridota heheva, a deep-sea echinoderm, and identifies gene expansions and positive selection related to adaptation to reducing environments.
