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.

TL;DR: It is shown that nodules are frequent infection sites where pathogen multiplication is comparable to that in the root tips and independent of nodule ability to fix nitrogen, and that the high susceptibility of nodules is counterbalanced by the existence of a diffusion barrier preventing pathogen spreading from nodules to the rest of the plant.

TL;DR: The phenotypic sex of 20,210 XX-rainbow trout from a French farm population at 10 and 15 months post-hatching was recorded, and three putative candidate genes, fgfa8, cyp17a1 and an uncharacterised protein were detected, which might be involved in spontaneous maleness of XX-female rainbow trout.

TL;DR: A chromosome-level genome assembly for bowfin is generated that enables gene-order analyses which settle its long-debated, phylogenetic relationship with gars and illustrates the utility of these genomic resources to connect developmental evolution across bony fishes, showing the importance of bowfin in understanding vertebrate biology and diversity.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that even in absence of genome, identification of chemical signals from wild animals is possible and could be helpful in strategies of species control and protection.
