Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation

…, RW Meredith, A Ödeen, J Cui, Q Zhou, L Xu… - Science, 2014 - science.org
Birds are the most species-rich class of tetrapod vertebrates and have wide relevance across
many research fields. We explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian …

Complementary symbiont contributions to plant decomposition in a fungus-farming termite

M Poulsen, H Hu, C Li, Z Chen, L Xu… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Termites normally rely on gut symbionts to decompose organic matter but the Macrotermitinae
domesticated Termitomyces fungi to produce their own food. This transition was …
