Uncovering a 500 million year old history and evidence of pseudogenization for TLR15
IntroductionToll like receptors (TLRs) are at the front line of pathogen recognition and host immune response. Many TLR genes have been described to date with some being found across metazoans while others are restricted to specific lineages.

Recognizing lungfish (Sarcopterygii, Dipnoi) estivation burrows: ichnotaxonomy and paleoenvironment. Lungfishes first appeared on Earth around 350 million years ago in freshwater environments from Gondwana, since when they suffered harsh adaptations through the geological time, among which, the aestivation capability. Such a behavior keeps preserved in

Fish species lifespan prediction from promoter cytosine‐phosphate‐guanine density
Abstract Lifespan is a key attribute of a species' life cycle and varies extensively among major lineages of animals. In fish, lifespan varies by several orders of magnitude, with reported values ranging from less than 1 year to approximately 400 years.

Linking geographic distribution and niche through estimation of niche density
Species with larger climatic tolerances (niches) may have large or small geographic ranges, dependent on the commonness of favourable climatic conditions across geographic space. Here, we explore the relationship between geographic range size and niche area, while also proposing a novel measure of niche density.

Macroevolutionary patterns in Rhynchocephalia:is the tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) a living fossil? [PDF]
The tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus, known from 32 small islands around New Zealand, has often been noted as a classic ‘living fossil’ because of its apparently close resemblance to its Mesozoic forebears and because of a long, low-diversity history.
