Kin structure and social organization in the spotted eagle ray, Aetobatus narinari, off coastal Sarasota, FL
Observations of elasmobranchs in groups suggest sociality in sharks and rays. However we currently lack a strong understanding of social structure and the role kinship has in structuring group organization in ...

Open AccessThe western painted turtle genome, a model for the evolution of extreme physiological adaptations in a slowly evolving lineage
We describe the genome of the western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii, one of the most widespread, abundant, and well-studied turtles. We place the genome into a comparative evolutionary context, and focus...

Open AccessThe genome of the green anole lizard and a comparative analysis with birds and mammals
The first non-avian reptile genome has been sequenced, that of the North American green anole lizard (Anolis carolinensis). The anole is an emerging model for the study of adaptive radiation and convergent evolut...

Origin of avian genome size and structure in non-avian dinosaurs
One of the less well known factors associated with flight in vertebrates is a reduction of the size of the genome. Birds have remarkably small genomes compared with other vertebrates, and bats tend to have sma...
