PMID: 39415663
New Zealand scincid lizards, genus Oligosoma, represent a monophyletic radiation of a clade, Eugongylini, of species distributed geographically throughout the South Pacific with major radiations in Australia and New Caledonia....

PMID: 35388432
The repeated evolution of the same traits in distantly related groups (convergent evolution) raises a key question in evolutionary biology: do the same genes underpin convergent phenotypes? Here, we explore...

J Comp Physiol B
. 2022 Feb;
192(2):263-273.
PMID: 35118516
Shark placentae are derived from modifications to the fetal yolk sac and the maternal uterine mucosa. In almost all placental sharks, embryonic development occurs in an egg capsule that remains...

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
. 2022 Jan;
97(3):1179-1192.
PMID: 35098647
How innovations such as vision, flight and pregnancy evolve is a central question in evolutionary biology. Examination of transitional (intermediate) forms of these traits can help address this question, but...

. 2021 Sep;

PMID: 34514493
There are many different forms of nutrient provision in viviparous (live-bearing) species. The formation of a placenta is one method where the placenta functions to transfer nutrients from mother to...

. 2021 Mar;

PMID: 33780667
Introduction: Viviparity (live-birth) has evolved from oviparity (egg-laying) multiple times in sharks. While most transitions from oviparity to viviparity have resulted in non-placental forms of viviparity, some sharks develop a...

PMID: 32943647
Humans are increasing the frequency of fish kills by degrading freshwater ecosystems. Simultaneously, scavengers like freshwater turtles are declining globally, including in the Australian Murray-Darling Basin. Reduced scavenging may cause...

Mol Ecol
. 2020 Mar;
29(7):1315-1327.
PMID: 32153075
Our understanding of the evolution of complex biological traits is greatly advanced by examining taxa with intermediate phenotypes. The transition from oviparity (egg-laying) to viviparity (live-bearing) has occurred independently in...

PMID: 32052440
Mammalian pregnancy involves remodelling of the uterine epithelium to enable placentation. In marsupials, such remodelling has probably played a key role in the transition from ancestral invasive placentation to non-invasive...
