TL;DR: It is proposed that a novel human coronavirus isolated from a man with acute pneumonia and renal failure in June 2012 prototypes a novel species in the genus Betacoronavirus, which is closely related to bat coronaviruses that are distant from SARS-CoV.

Evolutionary rates analysis of leguminosae implicates a rapid diversification of lineages during the tertiary
TL;DR: Tertiary macrofossils of the flowering plant family Leguminosae were used as time constraints to estimate ages of the earliest branching clades identified in separate plastid matK and rbcL gene phylogenies, pointing to a rapid family-wide diversification, and predict few if any legume fossils prior to the Cenozoic.

TL;DR: The exclusive common presence of fungivorous and plant parasitic nematodes supports a long-standing hypothesis that states that plant parasitic Nematodes arose from fungivory ancestors.

Typical freshwater bacteria: an analysis of available 16S rRNA gene sequences from plankton of lakes and rivers
TL;DR: It is shown that rivers and lakes have a specific planktonic bacterial community distinct from bacteria in neighboring environments such as soil and sediments, and it is pointed out that these planktonics bacteria are distributed in diverse fresh- water ecosystems around the world.

A new look at the statistical model identification
TL;DR: In this article, a new estimate minimum information theoretical criterion estimate (MAICE) is introduced for the purpose of statistical identification, which is free from the ambiguities inherent in the application of conventional hypothesis testing procedure.

A simple method for estimating evolutionary rates of base substitutions through comparative studies of nucleotide sequences.
TL;DR: Some examples were worked out using reported globin sequences to show that synonymous substitutions occur at much higher rates than amino acid-altering substitutions in evolution.

Dating of the human-ape splitting by a molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA.
TL;DR: A new statistical method for estimating divergence dates of species from DNA sequence data by a molecular clock approach is developed, and this dating may pose a problem for the widely believed hypothesis that the bipedal creatureAustralopithecus afarensis, which lived some 3.7 million years ago, was ancestral to man and evolved after the human-ape splitting.
