TL;DR: The diversity of tools and activities observed in these three sites shows that Western Europe was populated by adaptable hominins during this time, and questions concerning understudied migration pathways, such as the Sicilian route are raised.

TL;DR: In this article , a large-scale generation of reference genomes representing global biodiversity is discussed. But the authors focus on the large-size generation of the reference genomes and do not discuss how to generate reference genomes for the conservation genomics.

TL;DR: The genome of the Komodo dragon Varanus komodoensis is sequences and genetic changes associated with its unique sensory, cardiovascular and muscular systems are revealed, suggesting that selective pressure altered haemostasis genes to help Komodo dragons evade the anticoagulant effects of their own saliva.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present approaches to quantify the genetic load in whole-genome sequence data based on evolutionary conservation and annotations, and show that splitting the load into its two components -the realized load and the masked load -can improve our understanding of the population genetics of deleterious mutations.

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of the available literature data on the sensitivity of freshwater copepods to agricultural pollutants found the hypogean species was more sensitive than the epigean one to all chemicals and ionized ammonia proved to be more toxic than the herbicides.
