This study aims to reconstruct the evolutionary history of African shrews referred to the Crocidura olivieri complex. We tested the respective role of forest retraction/expansion during the Pleistocene, rivers (allopatric models), ecological gradients (parapatric model) and anthropogenic factors in explain...
The year 2023 marks the mid-point of the 15-year period envisaged to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, targets for global development adopted in September 2015 by all United Nations Member States. To help track where we are on this journey, and to amplify success stories, in this ...
At least as recently as the ’00s, high school history teachers were still using it in their classrooms. Image source: PBS Evolution of digital storytelling throughout the years As technology advanced, so did digital storytelling. The advent of Web 2.0 in the early 2000s marked a significant...

Some of the most extensive terrestrial biomes today consist of open vegetation, including temperate grasslands and tropical savannas. These biomes originated relatively recently in Earth’s history, likely replacing forested habitats in the second half of the Cenozoic. However, the timing of their origi...
To examine the evolutionary history of Homotherium, we generated a ∼7x nuclear genome and a ∼38x exome from H. latidens using shotgun and target-capture sequencing approaches. Phylogenetic analyses reveal Homotherium as highly divergent (∼22.5 Ma) from living cat species, with no ...
Lecture 01. The Nature of Evolution: Selection, Inheritance, and History 1656:04 https://oyc.yale.edu/ecology-and-evolutionary-biology/eeb-122 Biological evolution has two big ideas. One of them has to do with how the process occurs, and that's calledmicroevolution. It's evolution going on...
Deciphering the evolution of bacterial populations is crucial to better understand the genetic traits behind the emergence of biomedically relevant strains. In the present study, we identified a novel, PE_PGRS-based, genetic polymorphism that expands our knowledge of the history of the tubercle mycoba...
The successful colonization of new habitats has played a fundamental role during the evolution of life. Salinity is one of the strongest barriers for organisms to cross, which has resulted in the evolution of distinct marine and non-marine (including both freshwater and soil) communities. Although...
health throughout history. There is a pressing need to develop better approaches to pre-empt the emergence of viral infectious diseases and mitigate their effects. As such, there is an immense interest in understanding the correlates and mechanisms of zoonotic host jumps1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...
