Diversification and recurrent adaptation of the synaptonemal complex in Drosophila. by Rana Zakerzade, Ching-Ho Chang, Kamalakar Chatla, Ananya Krishnapura, Samuel P Appiah, Jacki Zhang, Robert L Unckless, Justin P Blumenstiel, Doris Bachtrog, Kevin H-C Wei

“…Here, we exhaustively examine the evolutionary history of the SC in Drosophila taking a comparative phylogenomic approach with high species density to circumvent obscured homology due to rapid sequence evolution. Contrasting starkly against other genes involved in meiotic chromosome pairing, SC genes show significantly elevated rates of coding evolution due to a combination of relaxed constraint and recurrent, widespread positive selection. …”

Effects of soil water on fungal community composition along elevational gradients on the northern slope of the Central Kunlun Mountains by Yongguang Zhang, Yongguang Zhang, Chaonan Li, Zhihao Zhang, Chenhong Li, Bo Zhang, Hongchen Jiang, Waqar Islam, Xiangzhen Li, Fanjiang Zeng

“…Along the elevational gradients, soil fungal α-diversity demonstrated a generally decreasing trend, whereas β-diversity showed a contrasting increasing trend. Among the environmental variables, altitude and climate (mean annual precipitation, MAP; mean annual temperature, MAT) were the strongest predictors for α-diversity. …”

Spatiotemporal variability in the South American mammalian fossil record and its impact on macroevolutionary inference by Pedro D. de S. Ugarte, João C. S. Nascimento, Mathias M. Pires

“…Yet, we also find discrepancies with macroevolutionary patterns inferred from phylogenies, which suggest that some of the patterns we detect with fossils might reflect regional macroevolutionary trends or be driven by lineages with higher preservation. Contrasting the results obtained using different approaches, such as rate estimates from fossils and molecular data, to find where they converge and diverge, may help to delineate the spatial scale and phylogenetic scope of observed macroevolutionary patterns. …”
