Phylogenetic Position and Morphological Characteristics of the Plagiorchioid Trematode, Skrjabinoplagiorchis polonicus (Soltys, 1957), a Parasite of Rodents [PDF]
BiologyThe genus Skrjabinoplagiorchis is monotypic, with Skrjabinoplagiorchis polonicus parasitizing rodents in the Western Palaearctic. This genus is classified within the family Plagiorchiidae; however, its taxonomic position remains unclear.

The Fast and the Furriest: Investigating the Rate of Selection on Mammalian Toxins [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 The evolution of venom and the selection pressures that act on toxins have been increasingly researched within toxinology in the last two decades, in part due to the exceptionally high rates of diversifying selection observed in animal toxins.
