| Scytodaes thoracica, also called spitting spiders, is a type of hunting spiders with globally distributions. One of the most fascinating characters of the spitting spider’s hunting behavior is that when it get close enough to the potential prey, it will raise its fangs and then eject a sticky concoction of liquid silk, which will congeal upon contact and immobilize the prey. Then, the hunting ... more |

| Mitochondria are critical organelles in almost all eukaryotic cells in generating most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Mitochondria contain their own genomic sequences, mitogenomes, which are being widely used in species identification, phylogenetic, population genetics, and comparative genomics. However, largely are still unclear regarding to the struct... more |

| It is now widely recognized that the Native Americans, also called Indigenous Americans, reached the Americas from Asia as early as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 26500-19000 years ago). Previous studies suggested the ancestors of Native Americans primarily came from Siberia. Now researchers led by Prof. KONG Qing-Peng from Kunming Institute of Zoology disclosed an additional ancestral source o... more |

| Increasing evidence suggests that interspecific hybridization is crucial to speciation. However, chromatin incompatibility during interspecific hybridization often renders this process. Genomic imbalances such as chromosomal DNA loss and rearrangements leading to infertility have been commonly noted in hybrids. The mechanism underlying reproductive isolation of interspecific hybridization remai... more |
