Abstract | Provisional PDF

|
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.

Simulating gene trees under the multispecies coalescent and time-dependent migration

Abstract | Provisional PDF

|
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.

Abstract | Provisional PDF

Editor’s summary
Re-evaluation of the phylogeny of the Cnidaria, using an expanded dataset of mitochondrial protein genes, differs from existing phylogeny and groups the Octocorallia and Medusozoa, resulting in a paraphyletic Anthozoa.

Evolution of Escherichia coli rifampicin resistance in an antibiotic-free environment during thermal stress

Abstract | Provisional PDF

|
Editor’s summary
E. coli can develop resistance to the antibiotic rifampicin, even in the absence of the drug, if grown in a thermally stressed environment, suggesting that antibiotic resistance is not always costly for bacteria to maintain.
