Important findings from the second decade of the 21st century on the impact of
environmental change on biological processes in the Antarctic were synthesised by 26 …

To better determine the history of modern birds, we performed a genome-scale phylogenetic
analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves using phylogenomic methods …

Early color-matching studies established that normal human color vision is trichromatic.
Subsequent research revealed a causal link between trichromacy and the presence in the …

Birds are the most species-rich class of tetrapod vertebrates and have wide relevance
across many research fields. We explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 …

The total-evidence approach to divergence time dating uses molecular and morphological
data from extant and fossil species to infer phylogenetic relationships, species divergence …

Global warming is increasingly exacerbating biodiversity loss. Populations locally adapted
to spatially heterogeneous environments may respond differentially to climate change, but …

Penguins lost the ability to fly more than 60 million years ago, subsequently evolving a hyper-
specialized marine body plan. Within the framework of a genome-scale, fossil-inclusive …

Ancient genomes provide a tool to investigate the genetic basis of adaptations in extinct
organisms. However, the identification of species-specific fixed genetic variants requires the …

Abstract Icefishes (suborder Notothenioidei; family Channichthyidae) are the only
vertebrates that lack functional haemoglobin genes and red blood cells. Here, we report a …

Range shift is the primary short-term species response to rapid climate change, but it is often
hampered by natural or anthropogenic habitat fragmentation. Different critical areas of a …
