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

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

A chromosome-level reference genome for the colonial marine hydrozoan Podocoryna americana

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Podocoryna americana, revealing gene family expansions and contractions compared to other cnidarians.

Comparative investigations of cellular dynamics in the development of medusae (Cnidaria: Medusozoa)

The paper compares cellular dynamics during medusa development in scyphozoan and hydrozoan lineages, finding distinct roles for cell migration and apoptosis.

The genome of the colonial hydroid Hydractinia reveals their stem cells use a toolkit of genes shared with all animals

This study characterizes the genome and single-cell transcriptome of Hydractinia, revealing that its stem cells use a conserved gene toolkit shared with all animals.
