Journal ArticleDOI

Lily C. Hughes,Guillermo Ortí,Guillermo Ortí,Yu Huang,Ying Sun,Carole C. Baldwin,Andrew W. Thompson,Dahiana Arcila,Dahiana Arcila,Ricardo Betancur-R.,Ricardo Betancur-R.,Chenhong Li,Leandro Anibal Becker,Nicolás Bellora,Xiaomeng Zhao,Xiaomeng Zhao,Xiaofeng Li,Xiaofeng Li,Min Wang,Chao Fang,Bing Xie,Zhuocheng Zhou,Hai Huang,Songlin Chen,Byrappa Venkatesh,Qiong Shi +25 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that most lineages of living fishes were already established in the Mesozoic Period, more than 65 million years ago, and genome-scale data support the structure of the fish phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
A time-calibrated, multi-locus phylogeny of piranhas and pacus (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae) and a comparison of species tree methods.
TL;DR: A comparison of species tree approaches indicates that most methods tested are consistent with results obtained by concatenation, suggesting that the gene-tree incongruence observed is mild and will not produce misleading results under simple Concatenation analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep evolutionary origin of limb and fin regeneration

TL;DR: It is shown that paired-fin regeneration after endoskeleton amputation occurs in living representatives of all major actinopterygian clades: the American paddlefish (Chondrostei), the spotted gar (Holostei), and in 2 cichlid and 1 cyprinid species (Teleostei).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a chromosome-level genome assembly for the bowfin (Amia calva) is presented, which enables gene-order analyses, settling long-debated neopterygian phylogenetic relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Academic ecosystems must evolve to support a sustainable postdoc workforce
Murielle Ålund,Nathan Emery,Benjamin J. M. Jarrett,Kirsty J. MacLeod,Helen F. McCreery,Nadya Mamoozadeh,John G. Phillips,John G. Phillips,Jory Schossau,Andrew W. Thompson,Alexa Warwick,Kelsey M. Yule,Erin R. Zylstra,Eben Gering,Eben Gering +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed enhancements to postdoc-centred policies and practices to better align this career stage with contemporary job markets and work life, by facilitating productivity, wellness and career advancement.
