TL;DR: It is concluded that differentiation between S. latifolia and S. dioica has been shaped by a combination of introgression and selection, and this results challenge the view that species differentiation is a genome‐wide phenomenon, and instead support the idea that genomes can be porous and thatspecies differentiation has a genic basis.

TL;DR: In rats fed a fructose-rich diet the development of metabolic syndrome is directly correlated with variations of the gut content of specific bacterial taxa, pointing to a correlation between their abundance and the developing of the metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: An analysis of partial sequences of the 16S ribosomal rRNA gene of 20 poison frog species (Dendrobatidae) confirmed their phylogenetic relationships to bufonid and leptodactylid frogs and supported monophyly of the genus Phyllobates but indicated paraphyly of Epipedobates and Colostethus.

TL;DR: The differences between Batesian and Müllerian floral mimicry are explained, what should be done to test mimicry hypotheses are illustrated, and how interspecific pollen transfer influences the evolution of mimicry is discussed.

TL;DR: The results show that many of the patterns in the evolutionary history of nematine gallers have also been observed in earlier studies on other insect gallers, indicating convergent evolution between the independent radiations.
