TL;DR: The results suggest that turtle evolution was accompanied by an unexpectedly conservative vertebrate phylotypic period, followed by turtle-specific repatterning of development to yield the novel structure of the shell.

TL;DR: This study reveals a series of complex adaptations of the brown planthopper involving a variety of biological processes, that result in its highly destructive impact on the exclusive host rice.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the desert poplar, Populus euphratica, which exhibits high tolerance to salt stress is reported, which provides an important background for understanding tree adaptation to salt Stress and facilitating the genetic improvement of cultivated poplars for saline soils.

TL;DR: It is shown that deletion of the goose lep gene might be the result of positive selection, thus allowing the liver to adopt energy storage mechanisms for long-distance migration and contributes to genomic resources available for studying aquatic birds.

TL;DR: The original version of this Article contained an error in the order in which the first and last name of the author Jianquan Liu were displayed.
