Substantial variation in species ages among vertebrate clades

The paper shows that species ages vary significantly among terrestrial vertebrate clades, with mammals and birds having younger species ages than squamates and amphibians.

Are Escherichia coli causing recurrent cystitis just ordinary Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) strains?

This study compares genomic and phenotypic traits of recurrent and sporadic UPEC isolates to identify markers of recurrent cystitis, finding rapid but non-convergent adaptation involving genetic changes and host-specific factors.

The diversification of termites: inferences from a complete species-level phylogeny

This study constructs the first complete species-level phylogeny of termites using genetic and taxonomic data, revealing relatively constant speciation rates with two positive shifts.
