TL;DR: Comprehensive analyses of available bat mitochondrial genomes reveal distinct nucleotide patterns and synonymous codon preferences corresponding to different chiropteran families, suggesting that mutational and selection forces are acting to different extents within Chiroptera and shape their mitochondrial genomes.

TL;DR: This work compares aligned crocodilian D-loop sequences to homologous sequences from other vertebrates ranging from fish to birds and finds that while domain I tends to be shorter than the same region in mammals and birds, it contains sequences similar in structure to both the goose-hairpin and termination associated sequences (TAS).

TL;DR: The structure of the saltwater crocodile MHC, and other crocodilians, can help determine the MHC that was present in the ancestors of archosaurs, and is suggested to have gene organisation intermediate between these two lineages.

TL;DR: The evolutionary history of Myotis is re‐examine to better understand the phenomena driving their unique nuclear, mitochondrial, and biogeographic histories.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the scarcity of old copies in the anole genome results from the rapid decay of elements, caused by a high rate of DNA loss.
