TL;DR: It is concluded that some aspects of nose shape may indeed have been driven by local adaptation to climate, but it is thought that this is a simplified explanation of a very complex evolutionary history, which possibly also involved other non-neutral forces such as sexual selection.

TL;DR: Surprisingly, among the extant lemurs, there was no relationship between body size and genetic diversity, and the decoupling of these variables suggests that risk factors other than body size may have as much or more meaning for establishing future lemur conservation priorities.

TL;DR: It is found that the indigenous populations of the Pacific Northwest have higher gene diversity than Latin American indigenous populations, and interior groups provide more evidence for East Asian admixture, whereas coastal groups have higher levels of European admixture.

TL;DR: Four ancient and three living individuals of the northern Northwest Coast of North America, specifically the north coast of British Columbia, Canada, current home to the indigenous Tsimshian, Haida, and Nisga’a, generated complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) to gain a better understanding of North American population history.

TL;DR: Cranial morphological variation is well aligned with the genetic data for describing broad trends among Mexican populations, as well as yielding comparable estimates of general ancestry affiliations that reflect Mexico's history of Spanish contact and colonialism.
