Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Whole‐Genome Resequencing Reveals the Genetic Diversity and Adaptive Evolution of Rhabdophis nuchalis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Rhabdophis nuchalis populations from four regions were analyzed using genome resequencing. The results showed that the Sichuan and Yunnan populations formed one cluster, while the Hubei and Shaanxi populations formed another. The Yunnan population displayed the highest genetic diversity.

Separating Faces in ARMS Metabarcoding Improves Marine Biodiversity Monitoring: A Comparison Across Protocols, Experimental Designs and Photographic Surveys

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring marine biodiversity requires approaches capable of capturing its spatial and temporal complexity. DNA metabarcoding coupled with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) is increasingly used for this purpose, yet most applications still pool all sessile fractions and rarely benchmark molecular outputs against photographic ...

Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

A Palaeogene stem crotaphytid (Aciprion formosum) and the phylogenetic affinities of early fossil pleurodontan iguanians

Royal Society Open Science
Pleurodonta is an ancient, diverse clade of iguanian lizard distributed primarily in the Western Hemisphere. Although the clade is a frequent subject of systematic research, phylogenetic resolution among the major pleurodontan clades is elusive.
