Convergent gene losses and pseudogenizations in multiple lineages of stomachless fishes
Communications BiologyThe regressive evolution of independent lineages often results in convergent phenotypes. Several teleost groups display secondary loss of the stomach, and four gastric genes, atp4a, atp4b, pgc, and pga2 have been co-deleted in agastric (stomachless) fish.

Chromosomal gene movements reflect the recent origin and biology of therian sex chromosomes.
PLoS Biology, 2008 Mammalian sex chromosomes stem from ancestral autosomes and have substantially differentiated. It was shown that X-linked genes have generated duplicate intronless gene copies (retrogenes) on autosomes due to this differentiation.

Local Aspects of Avian Non-REM and REM Sleep
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Birds exhibit two types of sleep that are in many respects similar to mammalian rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM) sleep. As in mammals, several aspects of avian sleep can occur in a local manner within the brain.

Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2015 Several lineages of non-holotherian Gondwanan mammals developed complex, tribosphenic-like molars, but not tribosphenic occlusion. The reversed triangle occlusal pattern, characteristic of holotherian lineages leading to tribosphenic occlusion, could ...

F-type lectins: Structural and functional aspects, and potential biomedical applications
BBA AdvancesAmong the multiple animal lectin families recognized to date, F-type lectins (FTLs), fucose-binding lectins characterized by an FTL domain (FTLD), constitute the most recent lectin family to be identified and structurally characterized.
