Adaptive molecular convergence is pervasive across deep time and largely decoupled from phenotypic convergence

Cory A. Berger, Marina I. Stoilova, Rebecca Varney, Sam C. Abrams, Maria Pia Miglietta, Paulyn Cartwright, Todd H. Oakley

The paper shows adaptive molecular convergence is common across deep time but not linked to phenotypic convergence.

Comparative analysis of convergent jellyfish eyes reveals extensive differences in expression of vision-related genes

Natasha Picciani, Cory A. Berger, Sofie Nielsen, Jacob M. Musser, A. Phillip Oel, Marina I. Stoilova, Detlev Arendt, Anders L. Garm, Todd H. Oakley

The paper compares gene expression in convergent jellyfish eyes, finding mostly lineage-specific expression but shared conserved vision genes across species.

Feeding status modulates diel vertical migration ofzooplankton via effects on circadian rhythms

Cory A. Berger, Ann M. Tarrant

This study shows that feeding status affects diel vertical migration of zooplankton by altering circadian rhythms, using high-resolution tracking of copepods.
