    Evolution of the Italian #PastaRipiena: the first steps toward a scientific classification

    In this study, #phylogenetic and #biogeographic methods are used to investigate the evolutionary relationships between various types of Italian pasta ripiena (filled pasta) and related representatives from across #Eurasia, using information from their geography, shape, content and cooking methods. Our results showed that, with the exception of the Sardinian #Culurgiones, all the other pasta ripiena from Italy likely had a single origin in the northern parts of the country. Based on the proposed evolutionary hypothesis, the Italian pasta are divided into two main clades: a #ravioli clade mainly characterized by a more or less flat shape, and a #tortellini clade mainly characterized by a three-dimensional shape. The implications of these findings are further discussed.

  3. The minimum #oxygen level needed to fuel aquatic animals generally rises with temp, driven by accelerating #metabolism. However, this study shows how O2 supply to tissues can reduce #hypoxia tolerance & limit #biogeographic ranges of marine ectotherms under both cold and warm conditions #PLOSBiology plos.io/3SkHx2q

  5. phylogatR: Phylogeographic data aggregation and repurposing

    This database appears to address a serious limitation to #biogeographic research: #phylogenetic and #specimen data live in different databases. This is not an endorsement, as I haven't tried it yet, but here in case you also missed it when it was first published in June:

    * Publication: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/fu

    * Database: phylogatr.org/
