...and individual gene studies suggest an astounding diversity of both ZW and XY sex chromosome systems in other vertebrate lineages (Bachtrog et al. 2014). However, while various studies have shed light on sex chromosome evolution in reptiles and fishes (e.g., Chen et al. 2014; White et al. 2015; Rovatsos et al...

...genomic studies of diet that employ taxonomically restricted analyses or simplified diet classifications may suffer reduced power to detect molecular convergence associated with diet evolution. Here, we use a quantitative carnivory score—indicative of the amount of animal protein in the diet—for 80...
