   Experimental evolution for the recovery of growth loss due to genome reduction

   Kenya Hitomi, Yoichiro Ishii, Bei-Wen Ying

   Diversified genetic and transcriptional changes in parallel evolved Escherichia coli populations for improved growth revealed that the evolution complementing genome reduction was like all roads leading to Rome.

   Synthetic analysis of trophic diversity and evolution in Enantiornithes with new insights from Bohaiornithidae

   Case Vincent Miller, Jen A Bright ... Michael Pittman

   Enantiornithine birds reached similar dietary diversity to modern birds in a similar amount of time many millions of years earlier, but how exactly they did that requires further research.

   Stochastic parabolic growth promotes coexistence and a relaxed error threshold in RNA-like replicator populations

   Mátyás Paczkó, Eörs Szathmáry, András Szilágyi

   An individual-based model framework of sub-exponentially growing replicator systems suggests that parabolic dynamics could have been able to maintain genetic diversity and circumvent the error threshold problem during early evolution.

    Evolutionary trade-offs in dormancy phenology

    Théo Constant, F Stephen Dobson ... Sylvain Giroud

    Dormancy during non-life-threatening periods that are unfavorable for reproduction may be more widespread than previously appreciated.
