	1. 2693 Accesses	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.
	2. 2023 Accesses	Research article Evolution of Escherichia coli rifampicin resistance in an antibiotic-free environment during thermal stress Alejandra Rodríguez-Verdugo, Brandon S Gaut, Olivier Tenaillon BMC Evolutionary Biology 2013, 13:50 (22 February 2013) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| 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.
