A molecular phylogeny for bats illuminates biogeography and the fossil record
Bats make up more than 20% of extant mammals, yet their evolutionary history is largely
unknown because of a limited fossil record and conflicting or incomplete phylogenies. Here …

Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation
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 …
