For each gene, we characterised the distribution of sequence convergence between pairs of branches in the species phylogeny following the approach described by Castoe et al. (2009) implemented in the ...

An important question in evolutionary genetics concerns the extent to which adaptive convergence in protein function is caused by convergent or parallel changes at the amino acid level. Even when ...

Only some bats and toothed whales rely on sophisticated echolocation, in which they emit sonar pulses and process returning echoes, to detect and track down small prey. Now, two new studies show that ...
