relaxed selection

Multifactorial processes underlie parallel opsin loss in neotropical bats
The loss of previously adaptive traits is typically linked to relaxation in selection, yet the molecular steps leading to such repeated …

Multifactorial processes underlie parallel opsin loss in neotropical bats
Trpc2 pseudogenization dynamics in bats reveal ancestral vomeronasal signaling, then pervasive loss
Comparative methods are often used to infer loss or gain of complex phenotypes, but few studies take advantage of genes tightly linked …
