The Avian Acetabulum: Small Structure, but Rich with Illumination and Questions
Diversity, 2023 The idea that birds are maniraptoran theropod dinosaurs is now considered an evolutionary consensus. An “open” (i.e., completely or substantially perforate) acetabulum is considered an important synapomorphy verifying the bird–dinosaur nexus.

A new species in the major malaria vector complex sheds light on reticulated species evolution [PDF]
, 2019 Complexes of closely related species provide key insights into the rapid and independent evolution of adaptive traits. Here, we described and studied Anopheles fontenillei sp.n., a new species in the Anopheles gambiae complex that we recently discovered ...

Potential Fifth Clade of Candida auris, Iran, 2018
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 Four major clades of Candida auris have been described, and all infections have clustered in these 4 clades. We identified an isolate representative of a potential fifth clade, separated from the other clades by >200,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms ...

A Unique Clade of SARS-CoV-2 Viruses is Associated with Lower Viral Loads in Patient Upper Airways
medRxiv, 2020 The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been accompanied by the emergence of distinct viral clades, though their clinical significance remains unclear.

Novel Variants of Clade 2.3.4 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Viruses, China
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 We characterized 7 highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) viruses isolated from poultry in China during 2009–2012 and found that they belong to clade 2.3.4 but do not fit within the 3 defined subclades.

Observation of persistent flow of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a toroidal trap
, 2007 We have observed the persistent flow of Bose-condensed atoms in a toroidal trap. The flow persists without decay for up to 10 s, limited only by experimental factors such as drift and trap lifetime.

Molecular and fossil evidence place the origin of cichlid fishes long after Gondwanan rifting. [PDF]
, 2013 Cichlid fishes are a key model system in the study of adaptive radiation, speciation and evolutionary developmental biology. More than 1600 cichlid species inhabit freshwater and marginal marine environments across several southern landmasses.
