	1.	Research article The phylogenetic distribution of ultraviolet sensitivity in birds Anders Ödeen, Olle Håstad BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:36 (11 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Phylogenetic analysis of a single opsin gene in birds shows that their vision has shifted between the visible spectrum and UV-sensitive vision at least 14 times, each of which can be explained by a single nucleotide change.

	10.	Research article Comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of all species of swordtails and platies (Pisces: Genus Xiphophorus) uncovers a hybrid origin of a swordtail fish, Xiphophorus monticolus, and demonstrates that the sexually selected sword originated in the ancestral lineage of the genus, but was lost again secondarily Ji Hyoun Kang, Manfred Schartl, Ronald B Walter, Axel Meyer BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:25 (29 January 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed
	11.

	15.	Software Simulating gene trees under the multispecies coalescent and time-dependent migration Joseph Heled, David Bryant, Alexei J Drummond BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:44 (18 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary New software that can simulate gene trees under a multispecies coalescent model with migration between subspecies shows that although inference of species tree topologies can be robust to gene flow, even detecting the presence of migration is difficult.
	16.	Research article Allometry indicates giant eyes of giant squid are not exceptional Lars Schmitz, Ryosuke Motani, Christopher E Oufiero, Christopher H Martin, Matthew D McGee, Ashlee R Gamarra, Johanna J Lee, Peter C Wainwright BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:45 (18 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed
