A time-calibrated phylogeny of hummingbirds supports stepwise diversification in the Andes

This study reconstructs a time-calibrated hummingbird phylogeny, finding stepwise diversification in the Andes rather than a monophyletic Andean clade.

KLinterSel: Assessing Spatial Concordance among Selective Sweep Detection Methods, with an Application to the common cockle (Cerastoderma edule)

KLinterSel evaluates concordance among selective sweep detection methods using statistical tests and identifies candidate site clusters in common cockle genomic data.

Mitochondrial genome sequencing of marine leukemias reveals cancer contagion between clam species in the Seas of Southern Europe

The paper sequenced mitochondrial genomes of marine clams with transmissible cancers, revealing a single neoplastic lineage that spreads between species in Southern Europe.
