  • Reconstructing biodiversity trends in deep time is confounded by uneven sampling of the available fossil record. Here the authors apply a subsampling approach to a tetrapod fossil occurrence dataset and show extinction of important clades was driven by variation in sea level.

  • Previous work has identified several genes where mutations lead to breast cancer, but other genetic and environmental factors must still be accounted for. A large study of genetic association with breast cancer points to four novel genes and many more genetic markers that should be pursued for their link to cancer susceptibility.

  • Crocodylians and their relatives have a rich evolutionary history. Here the authors show long-term decline of terrestrial crocodylians driven by decreasing temperatures but no relationship between temperature and biodiversity for marine crocodylians over their 250 million year history.

  • Developmental disorders (DDs) are more prevalent in males, thought to be due to X-linked genetic variation. Here, the authors investigate the burden of X-linked coding variants in 11,044 DD patients, showing that this contributes to ~6% of both male and female cases and therefore does not solely explain male bias in DDs.

  • The learning of novel motor skills through repetitive practice is associated with enhanced synaptic efficacy in the motor cortex. However, how motor learning affects neuronal circuitry at the level of individual synapses and how long-lasting memory is structurally encoded in the intact brain remain unknown. Synaptic connections in the living mouse brain are now shown to respond to motor-skill learning and permanently rewire; this could be the foundation of durable motor memory.
