Rearrangements and accelerated mutation rates on Dendrodorididae mitogenomes rumble their evolution

This study investigates mitogenomic rearrangements and mutation rates in Dendrodorididae nudibranchs, finding structural changes and non-synonymous mutations that suggest conserved functionality and unresolved phylogenetic relationships.

Path analysis reveals combined winter climate and pollution effects on the survival of a marine top predator

This study uses path analysis to show that warmer winter ocean temperatures and organochlorine pollutants both affect the survival of great black-backed gulls through their impact on body mass.
