A Radical Solution to the Species Problem
TL;DR: Hull (1974) has lately endorsed the idea that, from the point of view of evolutionary theory, biological species and monophyletic taxa are individuals, and Mayr (1969a), while not going so far, strongly emphasizes the point that species are more than just nominal classes.

Interpreting the universal phylogenetic tree
TL;DR: The root of the universal phylogenetic tree represents the first stage in cellular evolution when the evolving cell became sufficiently integrated and stable to the erosive effects of horizontal gene transfer that true organismal lineages could exist.

Darwin's beautiful contrivances: evolutionary and functional evidence for floral adaptation
TL;DR: A contrast between the inconsistent occurrence of phenotypic selection and convincing experimental and comparative evidence that floral traits are adaptations is revealed and suggests that the tempo of creative selection varies.

Origin of first cells at terrestrial, anoxic geothermal fields
Armen Y. Mulkidjanian,Andrew Y. Bychkov,Daria V. Dibrova,Michael Y. Galperin,Eugene V. Koonin +4 more
TL;DR: This work attempted to reconstruct the “hatcheries” of the first cells by combining geochemical analysis with phylogenomic scrutiny of the inorganic ion requirements of universal components of modern cells.
