Check out our new paper! Gars have an extremely low rate of molecular evolution compared to other vertebrates, much slower than most other "living fossil" lineages. With co-lead Chase Brownstein, plus Daemin Kim, Oliver Orr, Liandong Yang, @solomonrdavid.bsky.social, Brian Kreiser, and Tom Near.

The genomic signatures of evolutionary stasis
The genomic signatures of evolutionary stasis

Abstract. Evolutionary stasis characterizes lineages that seldom speciate and show little phenotypic change over long stretches of geological time. Although lin
