The effects of subcurative praziquantel treatment on life-history traits and trade-offs in drug-resistant Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2016 Natural selection acts on all organisms, including parasites, to maximise reproductive fitness. Drug resistance traits are often associated with life-history costs in the absence of treatment.

Size, microhabitat, and loss of larval feeding drive cranial diversification in frogs
Nature Communications, 2021 The evolution of metamorphic species may be constrained by different ecologies of the larval and adult stages. Here, Bardua et al. show that in frogs, adult ecology is more important than larval ecology for skull evolution, but species that don’t feed as

Benthic megafauna of the western Clarion-Clipperton Zone, Pacific Ocean [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 There is a growing interest in the exploitation of deep-sea mineral deposits, particularly on the abyssal seafloor of the central Pacific Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which is rich in polymetallic nodules.

Unprecedented frequency of mitochondrial introns in colonial bilaterians
Scientific Reports, 2022 Animal mitogenomes are typically devoid of introns. Here, we report the largest number of mitochondrial introns ever recorded from bilaterian animals. Mitochondrial introns were identified for the first time from the phylum Bryozoa.

Using natural history collections to investigate changes in pangolin (Pholidota: Manidae) geographic ranges through time [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Pangolins, often considered the world’s most trafficked wild mammals, have continued to experience rapid declines across Asia and Africa. All eight species are classed as either Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered by the International Union ...
