Reliable Inference of Phylogenomic Relationship via Assembly-Based Strategy Accommodating Raw Reads and Proteins. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades. [PDF]

, 2015
Insects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned

Cleaning Interactions Between Crows and Sika Deer: Implications for Tick-Borne Disease Management. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We found cleaning interactions between crows and sika deer to remove ectoparasites on deer in Japan. These interactions may contribute to reducing the risk of zoonotic disease. ABSTRACT Cleaning interactions between mammals and birds have been widely observed worldwide.
