   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.

   The rapidly evolving X-linked MIR-506 family fine-tunes spermatogenesis to enhance sperm competition

   Zhuqing Wang, Yue Wang ... Wei Yan

   The rapidly evolving X-linked MIR-506 family miRNAs function to enhance sperm competitiveness and male reproductive fitness in mice.

    The CD4 transmembrane GGXXG and juxtamembrane (C/F)CV+C motifs mediate pMHCII-specific signaling independently of CD4-LCK interactions

    Mark S Lee, Peter J Tuohy ... Michael S Kuhns

    Evolution-guided structure-function analyses reveal that CD4 transmembrane and intracellular juxtamembrane motifs play a more profound role in initiating pMHCII-specific TCR-CD3 signaling than previously characterized CD4-Lck interactions.
