Genome duplications, genomic conflict, and rapid phenotypic evolution characterize the Cretaceous radiation of Fagales

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Fagales show “early burst” model of phenotypic disparification, with morphospace being filled during the early radiation of the Fagales crown and its major families. The elevated levels of phenotypic evolution often correspond to hotspots of gene duplication, whereas species diversification is decoupled from both phenotypic and genomic evolution ...

Confronting Episodic vs. Continuous Heat Sources in Long‐Lived Hot Orogens: Insights From Petrochronological Studies in the Nova Venecia Complex, Araçuaí Orogen (SE Brazil)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Orogenic belts that sustain elevated temperatures at intermediate crustal depths for tens of millions of years are known as hot orogens. The evolution of these hot orogens is largely influenced by thermal maturation, primarily driven by the distribution of heat‐producing elements (HPEs), such as K, Th and U in the overthickened crust.

Almost billfish: convergent longirostry, micro‐dentition, and possible glandular sinuses in a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A fossil rostrum fragment of a large teleost fish from the Upper Cretaceous of Northern Italy reveals remarkable anatomical convergences with Cenozoic and Recent billfishes (marlins, swordfishes, and akin). The extinct group Plethodidae independently acquired a long snout, micro‐teeth, and oil‐gland sinuses well before the evolution of true billfishes.
