  1. New diatom classification aligns groups with evolutionary history
    Phylogenetic classification of Bacillariophyta recognizing 10 classes and 431 genera, revising traditional morphological systems to reflect evolutionary relationships.
  2. Choanoflagellate multicellularity can arise by clonal and aggregative routes
    Choanoeca flexa choanoflagellate uses both clonal and aggregative mechanisms to form reversible multicellular sheets, challenging conventional understanding of multicellular evolution.
  3. Ancient and modern genomes show Neolithic paternal expansions
    Ancient and modern Y-chromosome analysis reveals how Neolithic millet and rice farmers from China migrated into Southeast Asia, shaping paternal genetic diversity and ethnolinguistic populations.
