Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the sea urchin, Echinometra sp. EZ

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The complete mitogenome of Echinometra sp. EZ has been described and fully annotated in this study. Phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) from six Echinometra species confirms that our sample is E. sp. EZ. The mitogenome is 15,698

Unravelling Taxonomic Complexity in Elusive Cetaceans: Mitogenome Insights into Evolutionary History and Cryptic Diversity of Bryde's Whales

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The Bryde's whale is one of the least understood baleen whale species globally, limiting accuracy of regional and global conservation assessment. This study shows the occurrence of unique genetic lineages and evolutionary histories among Bryde's whale populations.

An ‛Aukward' Tale: A Genetic Approach to Discover the Whereabouts of the Last Great Auks. [PDF]

, 2017
One hundred and seventy-three years ago, the last two Great Auks, Pinguinusimpennis, ever reliably seen were killed. Their internal organs can be found in the collections of the Natural History Museum of Denmark, but the location of their skins has ...

Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 3, Page 1424-1437, May 2026.
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...
