Hook, line, and social media: crowd-sourced images reveal size and species patterns of ocean sunfishes (Tetraodontiformes, Molidae) from California to Alaska by Tor Mowatt-Larssen, Tierney M. Thys, Jackie Hildering, Eric J. Caldera, Ellen E. Biesack, Jan R. McDowell, Marianne Nyegaard, Marianne Nyegaard

“…However, recent advances in molid taxonomy and the emergence of photo-based community-science platforms provide an opportunity to revisit species-level biogeography. In this study, we use crowd-sourced images of 1,213 ocean sunfishes to determine if molid morphology visible in citizen-science images permits reliable species determination. …”

Genomic patterns of strain-specific genetic structure, linkage, and selection across fall armyworm populations by Ashley E. Tessnow, Rodney N. Nagoshi, Robert L. Meagher, Todd M. Gilligan, Ben M. Sadd, Yves Carrière, Holly N. Davis, Shelby J. Fleischer, Kelly Richers, John C. Palumbo, Patrick Porter, Jose Carlos Verle Rodrigues, Gregory A. Sword

“…Finally, our data reveal population-specific patterns of selection on genomic regions containing putative insecticide resistance alleles, which could relate to their biogeography. Conclusions Our results support the existence of the fall armyworm as a pest dyad in the US, with genetically-distinct strains differing in their population structure, dispersal patterns, and genomic signatures of selection on regions likely involved reproductive isolation and insecticide resistance. …”

Révision de l’espèce Homo erectus (Dubois, 1893) by Valéry Zeitoun

“…The reconstruction of this evolutionary pattern should be matched with other data (dating, biogeography) to allow to reconstruct a real evolutionary synopsis.According to several authors (Stringer, 1984; Hublin, 1986; Kennedy, 1991; Brauer and Mbua, 1992) the existence of autapomorphic features for Homo erectus is not proved. …”
