On the cover: Nautilus ≈ 🐙+🐚

(Maybe — like the Nautilus — our journal is a living fossil, believing in the interest and inspiration our readers might draw from the diversity of biological systems, questions and approaches we try to feature🙏 )
Nautiloids (pictured)—a lineage of ancient, externally shelled cephalopods—once dominated our oceans, but today, these living fossils are threatened and in need of protection from over-exploitation.

#LIBresearch finds African cichlids often lack fixed sex chromosomes—many use homomorphic, sometimes polygenic systems. Linkage group 3 (LG3), a chromosome, often carries sex-linked genes, but new sex-linked regions also arise across lineages.

#LIBresearch finds high mercury & arsenic in the critically endangered sawback angel shark (*Squatina aculeata*) near the Canary Islands. Contamination in liver & muscle exceeds safety limits, stressing urgent need for conservation monitoring.

Community-collected data and genetics research helped prove what scientists suspected for centuries: bluebottles aren't one species, they're four! Learn more: tr.ee/tZsAXV

New studies from @Leibniz_LIB reveal how genetic diversity and microbiomes can boost reef resilience and support targeted restoration. Science is paving the way – now action must follow. Our contribution to today's #InternationalConservationDay.

I've been mostly off social media for almost a year now. And honestly, it felt gooooood! But my curiosity got the best of me, so here I am!
