   Broad-scale variation in human genetic diversity levels is predicted by purifying selection on coding and non-coding elements

   David A Murphy, Eyal Elyashiv ... Guy Sella

   Background selection is shown to be the dominant mode of linked selection in humans, with marked effects on diversity levels throughout autosomes.

   Palaeontology: Sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs

   Stella A Ludwig, Roy E Smith, Nizar Ibrahim

   Studying fossils from a mass-mortality event reveals evidence for sexual dimorphism and, unusually, equal numbers of males and females in a herd of dinosaurs.

   Femora from an exceptionally large population of coeval ornithomimosaurs yield evidence of sexual dimorphism in extinct theropod dinosaurs

   Romain Pintore, Raphaël Cornette ... Ronan Allain

   Consistent bimodal variations in the femoral morphology of various modern amniotes and a remarkably large herd of coeval fossil non-avian theropods evidences sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs.
