Complexity of avian #evolution revealed by family-level genomes https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07323-1 by Josefin Stiller et al.
"The largest-ever study of #bird #genomes has produced a remarkably clear picture of the bird family tree... study shows that most of the modern groups of birds first appeared within 5 million years after the #extinction of the [non-avian] #dinosaurs."

Ashley ReynoldsThis new paper highlights something that can be a big issue in zoology studies - we treat old assumptions as common knowledge. It’s been long assumed that most mammal species show male-biased sexual size dimorphism. But is that actually the case? Maybe not.

New estimates indicate that males are not larger than females in most mammal species

New estimates indicate that males are not larger than females in most mammal species - Nature Communications
The narrative that larger males are the norm in mammals has predominated for over a century. An analysis of body mass dimorphism across mammals, sampling families by their species richness, indicates that males are not larger than females in most mammals and that monomorphism is almost as prevalent.
Tapani HopkinsAnd a note on that publication process with @PeerCommunityIn
It's great!
This article was free to publish and is free to read. It's also open, you can read:
- all versions of the manuscript
- reviewers comments
- our replies to reviewers
And it's nice and straightforward. Still took a while to review, but the manuscript was available as a preprint the whole time.
