Phylogeography and Demographic History of Chinese Black-Spotted Frog Populations (Pelophylax nigromaculata): Evidence for Independent Refugia Expansion and Secondary Contact
TLDR
Nested clade phylogeographical and population demographic analyses indicate that the current distribution of P. nigromaculata is the result of range expansion from two independent refugia during the last interglacial period in late Pleistocene, and is consistent with the presence of a refugium in the Korean Peninsula.

Seven new dolphin mitochondrial genomes and a time-calibrated phylogeny of whales
TLDR
By collecting and analyzing seven new mitochondrial genomes, this work provides strong evidence that the delphinid genera Tursiops and Stenella are not monophyletic, and the current taxonomy masks potentially interesting patterns of morphological, physiological, behavioral, and ecological evolution.

Phylogenetic relationships among gekkotan lizards inferred from C-mos nuclear DNA sequences and a new classification of the Gekkota
TLDR
The hypothesis that the early cladogenesis of the Gekkota was associated with the split of Eastern Gondwanaland from Western GondWanaland is supported.

Sequence variation and gene duplication at MHC DQB loci of baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), a Chinese river dolphin.
TLDR
The high level of baijin MHC polymorphism revealed in the present study has not been reported in other cetaceans and could be a consequence of the small baiji population adapting to freshwater with a relatively high levelof pathogens.

The Mitochondrial Sequences of Heptathela hangzhouensis and Ornithoctonus huwena Reveal Unique Gene Arrangements and Atypical tRNAs
TLDR
The complete mitochondrial genomes of the spiders Heptathela hangzhouensis and Ornithoctonus huwena are sequenced and provide new molecular evidence supporting that the suborder Mesothelae is basal to opisthothelids.

Baiji genomes reveal low genetic variability and new insights into secondary aquatic adaptations
TLDR
A reconstruction of the demographic history of the baiji indicates that a bottleneck occurred near the end of the last deglaciation, a time coinciding with a rapid decrease in temperature and the rise of eustatic sea level.
