The origin and evolution of open habitats in North America inferred by Bayesian deep learning models.
Some of the most extensive terrestrial biomes today consist of open vegetation, including temperate grasslands and tropical savannas. These biomes originated relatively recently in Earth’s history, likely replacing forested habitats in the second half of the Cenozoic. However, the timing of their origination and expansion remains disputed. Here, we present...Andermann, Tobias ; Strömberg, Caroline A. E. ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Silvestro, Daniele

The Welwitschia genome reveals a unique biology underpinning extreme longevity in deserts.
The gymnosperm Welwitschia mirabilis belongs to the ancient, enigmatic gnetophyte lineage. It is a unique desert plant with extreme longevity and two ever-elongating leaves. We present a chromosome-level assembly of its genome (6.8 Gb/1 C) together with methylome and transcriptome data to explore its astonishing biology. We also present a refined, high-quality assembly...Wan, Tao ; Liu, Zhiming ; Leitch, Ilia J. ; Xin, Haiping ; Maggs-Kölling, Gillian …
