This study identifies molecular convergence in Baltic Sea pipefish populations despite differing genomic structures and species relationships.

The paper identifies a Hymenoptera-specific gene, torch, that controls caste-specific organ size by co-opting conserved Hippo signaling machinery across species.

The paper uses population genomic analyses to study the social parasite Acromyrmex insinuator and its hosts, finding reduced genetic diversity, eroded adaptive potential, and cryptic population structure in the parasite.

The paper uses eDNA and genetic analysis to detect American eel and hybrid eels in Greenland, extending their known range and identifying hybrids.

This paper presents a developmental table for the Pharaoh ant Monomorium pharaonis, showing that queen and worker phenotypes are determined by early embryogenesis.
