The radiation of tetrapods during the Devonian and Early Carboniferous was associated with a transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments, with attendant changes in feeding ecology. Despite this, evidence suggests that feeding morphology remained relatively static throughout this transition, ...
Abiotic factors are important for defining population structure and limiting gene flow, especially in ectotherm species. In amphibians, abiotic factors like temperature and precipitation can either facilitate or restrict gene flow. The challenge is identifying if these factors can lead to a pattern ...
Sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida) are an ancient lineage of chelicerates represented by a single living order, Pantopoda, and a patchy fossil record that provides limited information of their evolutionary timescale. The sudden appearance of Pantopoda in the Middle Jurassic has led several ...

Special Issues
Call for Papers: Evolution on Islands: from genomes to communities
This special issue will offer a synthesis of the latest research in island biology. It will be introduced by a joint perspective authored by Professor Rosemary G. Gillespie (University of California, Berkeley) and Professor Robert J. Whittaker (University of Oxford). We welcome original research articles, short reports, and invited perspectives. Contributions may focus on a single island or archipelago or span multiple scales and systems.

Call for Papers: Phylogenomic Discordance: Patterns, Processes, and Solutions
This special issue invites contributions that explore the extent and origins of phylogenetic discordance within contemporary genomic datasets. We welcome original research that illuminates the repercussions of conflicting phylogenetic signals across diverse taxonomic groups and methodological paradigms.
