Island biogeography and competition drive rapid venom complexity evolution across rattlesnakes Open
Understanding how human-mediated environmental change affects biodiversity is key for conserving evolvability. Because the most severe impacts are ongoing, such an understanding is proving exceptionally difficult to attain. Islands are nat…

Where the “<i>ruber</i>” Meets the Road: Using the Genome of the Red Diamond Rattlesnake to Unravel the Evolutionary Processes Driving Venom Evolution Open
Understanding the proximate and ultimate causes of phenotypic variation is fundamental in evolutionary research, as such variation provides the substrate for selection to act upon. Although trait variation can arise due to selection, the i…

Spatial variation in genomic signatures of local adaptation during the cane toad invasion of Australia Open
Adaptive evolution can facilitate species' range expansions across environmentally heterogeneous landscapes. However, serial founder effects can limit the efficacy of selection, and the evolution of increased dispersal during range expansi…

Intergenomic signatures of coevolution between Tasmanian devils and an infectious cancer Open
Coevolution is common and frequently governs host–pathogen interaction outcomes. Phenotypes underlying these interactions often manifest as the combined products of the genomes of interacting species, yet traditional quantitative trait map…

Nicht immer steckt ein Paragangliom dahinter Open
Bei der 56-jährigen Patientin hatten über eineinhalb Jahre starke Nackenbeschwerden nach einer Halswirbelsäulen-(HWS-)Distorsion bestanden, die chiropraktisch behandelt worden waren. Seither litt sie unter einem Tinnitus in beiden Ohren.

Stronger sexual dimorphism in fruit flies may be favored when congeners are present and females actively search for mates Open
Why are some species sexually dimorphic while other closely related species are not? When the degree of sexual dimorphism varies within a genus, an integrative phylogenetic approach may help reveal underlying patterns favoring the evolutio…

Landscape genomics of the streamside salamander: Implications for species management in the face of environmental change Open
Understanding spatial patterns of genetic differentiation and local adaptation is critical in a period of rapid environmental change. Climate change and anthropogenic development have led to population declines and shifting geographic dist…

A meta-analysis of proportions of single arm observational series for anterior skull base meningiomas comparing supraorbital craniotomy to the endoscopic endonasal approach Open
Introduction: Olfactory groove (OG) and planum sphenoidale/tuberculum sella (PS/TS) meningiomas are frequently treated via supraorbital craniotomy (SOC) or endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). Though previously compared, noncomparative stu…

Retinal Manifestation of an Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Plasma Cell Neoplasm Open
We report a case of an uncommon presentation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated plasma cell neoplasm in a patient with a history of prostate cancer and hairy cell leukemia (HCL) in remission after chemotherapy. The diagnosis of an EBV-…

Host shifting and host sharing in a genus of specialist flies diversifying alongside their sunflower hosts Open
Congeneric parasites are unlikely to specialize on the same tissues of the same host species, likely because of strong multifarious selection against niche overlap. Exceptions where multiple congeneric species overlap on the same tissues m…

Interferon alfa‐2a maintenance after salvage autologous stem cell transplantation in atypical mycosis fungoides with central nervous system involvement Open
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with unfavourable prognosis for patients with advanced stages of the disease. Refractory disease and advanced-stage disease require systemic therapy. We report on a rare case of…

Quantifying the unquantifiable: why Hymenoptera, not Coleoptera, is the most speciose animal order Open
Synthesis of our model with data from real host systems suggests that the Hymenoptera may have 2.5-3.2× more species than the Coleoptera. While there are more described species of beetles than all other animals, the Hymenoptera are almost …

Quantifying the unquantifiable: why Hymenoptera – not Coleoptera – is the most speciose animal order Open
Background We challenge the oft-repeated claim that the beetles (Coleoptera) are the most species-rich order of animals. Instead, we assert that another order of insects, the Hymenoptera, are more speciose, due in large part to the massive…
