End of year science thread: a few memorable papers that came out this year. Last year I didn't include any paleontology, but this time I'll start with a paper about early animal evolution that I absolutely adore, although I'm biased as a friend of the authors

An episodic burst of massive genomic rearrangements and the origin of non-marine annelids - Nature Ecology & Evolution
An analysis of annelid genomes reveals massive reshuffling of chromosomes in the ancestral lineage leading to clitellates, a clade composed of non-marine annelids, with potential implications for the ...

How did animals repeatedly conquer land? 🌊➡️⛰️ We analysed ~1,000 gene repertoires (24M genes!) from all animal phyla to uncover how this happened. Work led by

Independent genomic trajectories shape adaptation to life on land across animal lineages
How animals repeatedly adapted to life on land is a central question in evolutionary biology. While terrestrialisation occurred independently across animal phyla, it remains unclear whether shared gen...
