Genome-wide identification of MYBL2 in Brassicaceae, with a focus on the expression pattern of regulating anthocyanin synthesis in Brassica crops by Chenchen Wang, Qi Zhang, Yi Liu, Wenjie Shen, Shubei Wan, Lunlin Chen, Chen Tan, Daozong Chen

“…The Brassicaceae family includes the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, along with various vegetables and oil crops, which possess significant economic and scientific value. Notably, three diploid species within the U’s Triangle of Brassica have undergone natural hybridization, resulting in the formation of three allotetraploid species, which provides an excellent model for investigating the phylogenetic, evolutionary, and functional differentiation of plant homologous genes. …”

Identification of sex-biased MiRNA markers informative of heat-past events by Tosca A. van Gelderen, Jerome Montfort, José Antonio Álvarez-Dios, Francesc Piferrer, Julien Bobe, Laia Ribas

“…In addition, among these markers, three conserved sex-skewed miRNAs proved to be informative regarding past thermal events in the ovaries (e.g., miR-192-5p, miR-146a-5p and miR-143-3p) and four in the testes (miR-129-5p, miR-724-5p, miR-143-3p, and miR-223-3p). …”

Exploring local phenological and phenotypic variation of mosses (Bryophyta) in two common Amazonian habitats by Anna Kelly Nogueira Campos da SILVA, Tales ALVES JÚNIOR, Charles E. ZARTMAN

“…Contrary to global patterns of reproductive behavior for bryophytes, male expression was notably more prevalent than female expression for three of the four species. Furthermore, significant infra-specific phenotypic variation among habitat types associated with multiple measured traits (e.g., total leaf length, apex length, base width) illustrate the evolutionary potential of Amazonian bryophytes in the framework of habitat differentiation. …”

Plastome data provides new insights into population differentiation and evolution of Ginkgo in the Sichuan Basin of China by Liyun Nie, Fangling Liu, Meixia Wang, Zhuying Jiang, Jiali Kong, Luke R. Tembrock, Shenglong Kan, Penghao Wang, Jie Wang, Zhiqiang Wu, Xiaoli Liu

“…., an iconic living fossil, challenges traditional views of evolutionary stasis. While nuclear genomic studies have revealed population structure across China, the evolutionary patterns reflected in maternally inherited plastomes remain unclear, particularly in the Sichuan Basin - a potential glacial refugium that may have played a crucial role in Ginkgo’s persistence. …”

Ecological niche differentiation in Chiroxiphia and Antilophia manakins (Aves: Pipridae). by Mariana Villegas, Bette A Loiselle, Rebecca T Kimball, John G Blake

“…To test our hypothesis we followed three approaches: (1) we tested whether C. boliviana could predict the distribution of the other manakin taxa and vice versa; (2) we compared the ecological niches by using metrics of niche overlap, niche equivalency and niche similarity; and (3) lastly, we tested whether niche differentiation corresponded to phylogenetic distances calculated from two recent phylogenies. …”
