Genome duplications, genomic conflict, and rapid phenotypic evolution characterize the Cretaceous radiation of Fagales. [PDF]
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 ...

Metabarcoding Reveals Fine Scale Patterns of Trophic Resource Use and Partitioning Along Gradients of Land Use and Deer Density in a Multi-Species Ungulate Community. [PDF]
We used DNA metabarcoding of 2,568 fecal samples to examine seasonal diets and resource partitioning among four deer species (moose, roe deer, red deer, fallow deer) across two Swedish landscapes. Deer consumed a wide range of plants, but diets were typically dominated by a few key taxa, with distinct dietary separation between moose and smaller deer ...

Species Diversity, Host Association, and Evolutionary History of Cronartium: An Important Global Fungal Pathogen to Trees. [PDF]
We determined that Cronartium probably occurred around 91.78 Ma during the Upper Cretaceous. Cronartium species may originated in Asia and North America and subsequently had several intercontinental dispersals via the North Atlantic Land Bridge, the De Geer Route, and the Bering Land Bridge. Additionally, we found that the diversification of Cronartium

An integrative framework reveals widespread gene flow during the early radiation of oaks and relatives in Quercoideae (Fagaceae). [PDF]
Multiple lines of evidence from phylogenomics, paleontology, biogeography, and ecology support the occurrence of widespread ancient reticulations between major lineages of Quercus and relatives in Quercoideae (Fagaceae) during the Early to Middle Eocene in North America and Eurasia.

Taxonomic Organization of the Family Brucellaceae Based on a Phylogenomic Approach
Deciphering the evolutionary history of pathogenic bacteria and their near neighbors may help to understand the genetic or ecological bases which led to their pathogenic behavior. The Brucellaceae family comprises zoonotic pathogenic species belonging to
