New approaches for capturing and estimating variation in complex animal color patterns from digital photographs: application to the Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina) by Erik Maki, Tilmann Glimm, Paramahansa Pramanik, Ylenia Chiari, Maria Kiskowski

“…The Eastern box turtle is an ideal species to study variation of complex color patterns as this species is easily encountered in the field and in museum collections in Northeastern US, has a relatively easy to identify bright color pattern against a dark background, and has a rigid shell structure, which removes problems related to body distortion. …”

Phylogenetic and evolutionary insights from 30 newly-assembled Onygenales Mitochondrial Genomes: co-evolution of introns and HEGs shapes mitogenome size variation by Héctor Antônio Assunção Romão, Thalison Rodrigues Moreira, Leonardo Carlos Jeronimo Corvalán, Amanda Alves de Melo-Ximenes, Alexandre Melo Bailão, Clayton Luiz Borges, Renata de Oliveira Dias, Rhewter Nunes

“…We tested two evolutionary hypotheses: (1) that structural features of mitochondrial genomes are phylogenetically conserved and (2) that introns and homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) have co-evolved and contributed to genome size variation. …”

Identification of diversity-generating retroelements in host-associated and environmental genomes: prevalence, diversity, and roles by Mariela Carrasco-Villanueva, Chaoxian Wang, Chaochun Wei

“…Conclusions Our research sheds light on the widespread prevalence of DGRs within environments and taxa, and supports the DGR phylogenetic divergence in different organisms. These variations might also occur in their structures since some cassette architectures were common in specific underrepresented phyla. …”
