DNA viruses have a major influence on the ecology and evolution of cellular organisms1, but their overall diversity and evolutionary trajectories remain elusive5. Here we carried out a phylogeny-guided genome-resolved metagenomic survey of the sunlit oceans and discovered plankton-infecting relatives of...
Thus, mirusviruses point to a planktonic ancestry for herpesviruses, which would have undergone reductive evolution, most notably losing the transcription machinery, and specialized to the infection of animal cells37. Similarly enigmatic is the evolutionary trench between large and giant Nucleocytoviricota...

EVOLUTIONPARALLELISMSHOULDER JOINTSECONDARY SHOULDER JOINTIn the first week of January 1931 a beaked whale (Family Ziphiidae) stranded at Gierinish, South Uist, Outer Hebrides, was identified as a True's beaked whale Mesoplodon mirus. This stranding is referred to frequently in the cetacean ...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Polyploidy has extensively shaped the evolution of plants, but the early stages of polyploidy are still poorly understood. The neoal-lopolyploid species Tragopogon mirus and T. miscellus are both characterized by widespread karyotypic variation, including frequent aneuploidy and...

EvolutionAnatomyFossiliferous strata of the late Ediacaran Lomoziv Member of the Mohyliv Formation, once known from now flooded outcrops along the Dniester River, have been recently exposed in a large quarry near the Novodnistrovs'k electric plant dam in Podolia, Ukraine. Finely bedded arkosic...
