Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hainan Glass Lizard (Dopasia hainanensis) determined by next-generation sequencing

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hainan Glass Lizard (Dopasia hainanensis) from its type locality (Diaoluo Mountain in Hainan Island, China) was determined using next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome was 17,000 bp in length and comprised the

Variable grouping patterns in primates: A test of the better competitor hypothesis in male Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.

Performance of tree-building methods using a morphological dataset and a well-supported Hexapoda phylogeny [PDF]

PeerJ
Recently, many studies have addressed the performance of phylogenetic tree-building methods (maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference), focusing primarily on simulated data.

Evaluating probabilistic programming and fast variational Bayesian inference in phylogenetics

PeerJ, 2019
A bstract Recent advances in statistical machine learning techniques have led to the creation of probabilistic programming frameworks. These frameworks enable probabilistic models to be rapidly prototyped and fit to data using scalable approximation methods such as variational ...

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.
