The paper uses ancient DNA from shells to analyze genetic stability and immune adaptation in black abalone post-bottleneck, finding delayed genomic erosion and rapid immune-related selection.

This study shows Pleistocene climate changes drove the diversification of deer mice and the independent evolution of arboreal ecotypes in forests.

The paper estimates the germline mutation rate in the white abalone and uses it to infer population history and evolutionary patterns in the Haliotis genus.
