Our Systematic Biology Programme celebrity Sten Svantesson has once again made it onto the Swedish news, this times in an interview with channel 4 about a new species of Cortinarius mushroom he discovered on Gotland this year: tv4.se/artikel/6oDqlM…

Here we estimate the number of recent bird extinctions, including those that have gone unnoticed due to a lack of data/research effort. See the popular science summary of our study in The Guardian here: amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…

We've just published a comparative genomic analysis of Ascetosporean parasites (Rhizaria). We produced genomic data for two additional classes (Haplosporidia and Paramyxida), and the undescribed Cercozoa M6MM, and combined that to the available mikrocitids bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

New paper: Tobias Andermann and collaborators published a biogeographic study on Himalayan spiny frogs, using them as a model system to infer plausible geological scenarios for the formation of the Himalayas and the connected uplift of the Tibetan plateau onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

New paper alert: Fabien Burki and collaborators published this article on benchmarking long read sequencing of the entire RNA operon for environmental samples, using a fully controlled mock community for this evaluation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

Experimental models to study the evolution of primary sex-determining loci are scarce. This study led by Xuan Li shows that male-determining loci on polymorphic proto-Y chromosomes of the housefly can genomically diverge into regions of various complexity. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Gene transfers have been critical to the origin and evolution of endosymbiotic organelles. But just how much, and what are the challenges with detecting them. Fabien Burki co-authored this book chapter that delves into these questions. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
