The May cover of Genome Biology and Evolution features the work of Romero & de Souza, who compared the genomes of lizards and the tuatara to study the evolution of non-visual opsin genes.

🎉 We're excited to share our new research in @nature.com ! We reveal that crocodile head scales self-organize through compressive folding of the skin - a mechanical twist on their development & evolution!

Self-organized patterning of crocodile head scales by compressive folding - Nature
Crocodile head scales self-organize through purely mechanical compressive skin folding rather than a patterning process controlled by gene interactions.
