delimSOM 2.0 integrates diverse data types using machine learning to improve species delimitation, showing strong performance with larger samples and robustness to missing data.

This study shows that habitat and complex life cycles in salamanders increase limb bone diversity through trade-offs between stiffness and density.

The paper presents the first telomere-to-telomere, chromosome-level reference genome for the common five-lined skink, providing a highly complete and annotated genome sequence.

This paper assembles the first complete genome of the Northern Dusky Salamander, revealing its miniaturized genome and TE composition.

The paper estimates higher-level phylogenetic networks in Desmognathus salamanders to uncover complex hybridization patterns and ecomorphological speciation mechanisms.
