Role of Chromosome Changes in Evolution and Diversity by Kornsorn Srikulnath, Watcharaporn Thapana, Narongrit Muangmai

“…The chromosome numbers of Alligator, Caiman, Melanosuchus, Paleosuchus, Gavialis, Tomistoma, Mecistops, and Osteolaemus were stable within each genus, whereas those of Crocodylus (crocodylians) varied within the taxa. This agreed with molecular phylogeny that suggested a highly recent radiation of Crocodylus species. …”

Dynamic land-plant carbon sources in marine sediments inferred from ancient DNA by Ulrike Herzschuh, Josefine Friederike Weiß, Kathleen R. Stoof-Leichsenring, Lars Harms, Dirk Nürnberg, Juliane Müller

“…Abstract Terrigenous organic matter in marine sediments is considered a significant long-term carbon sink, yet our knowledge regarding its source taxa is severely limited. Here, we leverage land-plant ancient DNA from six globally distributed marine sediment cores covering the Last Glacial–Holocene transition as a proxy for the share, burial rate, preservation, and composition of terrigenous organic matter. …”
