Primate phylogeny: molecular evidence for a pongid clade excluding humans and a prosimian clade containing tarsiers [PDF]
, 2009 Interpretations of molecular data by the modern evolution theory are often sharply inconsistent with paleontological results. This is to be expected since the theory is only true for microevolution and yet fossil records are mostly about macroevolution.

The largest reservoir of mitochondrial introns is a relic of an ancestral split gene [PDF]
, 2010 In eukaryotes, introns are located in nuclear and organelle genes from several kingdoms (ref. 1-4). Large introns (0.1 to 5 kbp) are frequent in mitochondrial genomes of plant and fungi (ref.

Cryptic Species: A Mismatch between Genetics and Morphology in Millepora [PDF]
, 2012 Millepore morphology is highly variable and shows signs of phenotypic plasticity. Two species of Millepora are present around the islands of the Bahamas: one exhibiting a strong, blade-like structure, Millepora complanata, and the other having a delicate

Parallel evolution of gravity sensing
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyOmnipresent gravity affects all living organisms; it was a vital factor in the past and the current bottleneck for future space exploration. However, little is known about the evolution of gravity sensing and the comparative biology of gravity reception.

Signaling Mechanism of Budding, Proliferation, and Tissue Regeneration in Cnidaria
Current Issues in Molecular BiologyPhylum Cnidaria occupies an early branching position in the evolution of eukaryotes, establishing both close and distant relationships with most other eukaryotic metazoans. Budding encompasses the complete processes of cell proliferation, differentiation,
