Figure 1 of the paper showing two examples of trait loss reversals in the form of phylogenetic trees: on the top, the case of the reinstatement of the second lower molar of the euroasian linx; on the bottom, the case of the reinstatement of stick insect wings.

You ever wondered what happens to a trait after its loss?
Dollo's law predicts that it can't be reinstated in its original form. Actually true (partially)! #evolsky

Happy to see this published: we have reviewed the LOSS, PERSISTENCE & REVERSAL OF PHENOTYPIC TRAITS 🖥️🧬🦑🐜

A phylogenomic framework of gastrotricha evolutionary relationships Gastrotricha are microscopic acoelomate worms that play key ecological roles in marine and freshwater meiobenthic communities. For a long time, their …

Shout out for the first phylogenomic analysis on Gastrotricha. Cool to see more genomic works on exclusively meiofaunal phyla coming out lately. Congratulations to Oscar and all the other authors.

Pleased to share our latest paper led by @tomlewin.bsky.social, now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We present the first chromosome-level genome of a phoronid and show that shared chromosomal fusions unite phoronids and bryozoans as sister groups.

Substantial hierarchical reductions of genetic and morphological traits in the evolution of rotiferan parasites Abstract. Within the last 800 million years animals evolved a vast range of diversity of species exhibiting an enormous disparity of forms and lifestyles.

🔥🔥🔥NEW PAPER OUT in @genomebiolevol.bsky.social

Exploring the evolution of sex determination related genes through a cross-species genomics analysis The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety...

Congratulations to Oscar for his first article! And also to the other authors

New preprint out! Squamata exhibit deep mitonuclear discordance, driven by shared selective pressures on nuclear and mitochondrial OXPHOS genes along the branches leading to agamids and snakes. Clear signals of convergent evolution is present in key OXPHOS subunits. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
