Ecology and Host Identity Outweigh Evolutionary History in Shaping the Bat Microbiome
mSystems, 2019 Recent studies of mammalian microbiomes have identified strong phylogenetic effects on bacterial community composition. Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) are among the most speciose mammals on the planet and the only mammal capable of true flight.

Comparative analyses of reproductive structures in harvestmen (opiliones) reveal multiple transitions from courtship to precopulatory antagonism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Explaining the rapid, species-specific diversification of reproductive structures and behaviors is a long-standing goal of evolutionary biology, with recent research tending to attribute reproductive phenotypes to the evolutionary mechanisms of female ...

Spotlight on islands.On the origin and diversification of an ancient lineage of the Italian wall lizard Podarcis siculus in the western Pontine Islands [PDF]
, 2018 Groups of proximate continental islands may conceal more tangled phylogeographic patterns than oceanic archipelagos as a consequence of repeated sea level changes, which allow populations to experience gene flow during periods of low sea level stands and
