Population-level sequencing data have enabled discoveries of selective sweeps associated with genes involved in recent adaptions...Didion, J P ; Morgan, A P ; Yadgary, L ; Bell, T A ; McMullan, R C …

Convex-hull mass estimates of the dodo (Raphus cucullatus): application of a CT-based mass estimation technique
