Note the collaboration with Indigenous communities regarding the use of ancestral remains for this research.

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the subject. I was unaware that this is one of the most mysterious topics in zoology.

The title is misleading, but a nice introduction to how we use convergent evolution to determine why a body part evolved.

The latter.

Fingers crossed that they can determine the mechanism behind non-locality.

I’m surprised that the stability of genomic structure at the linear level across species may not be as essential as thought.

Amazing that these 'living fossils' survived in these small pockets of forest that are the only remnant of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana. How many other endemic species are clinging on in tiny spots around the globe?

Latest Claude LLM writes passable drafts of product documentation, such as tutorials, so I expect similar impact for technical writers. In my tests, the code samples all worked on the first prompt. Verifying code samples is much faster than writing them, but that was my favorite part of the career.

I was unaware of the existence of purely self-pollinating plants.
