Lateral flight membranes, or patagia, have evolved repeatedly in diverse mammalian lineages. While little is known about patagium development, its recurrent evolution may suggest a shared molecular basis. By combining transcriptomics, developmental experiments, and mouse transgenics, we demonstrate that lateral Wnt5a expression in the marsupial sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) promotes the differentiation of its patagium primordium.

AbstractPhenotypic variation among species is a product of evolutionary changes to developmental programs1,2. However, how these changes generate novel morphological traits remains largely unclear. Here we studied the genomic and developmental basis of the mammalian gliding membrane, or patagium—an adaptative trait that has repeatedly evolved in different lineages, including in closely related marsupial species.

1. IntroductionAn unhealthy diet is the leading global risk factor for non-communicable chronic disease, morbidity, and mortality [1,2]. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a diet low in meat and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can prevent up to 80% of chronic diseases and add up to 12–14 years of life expectancy [3,4]. While guidelines recommend nutrition interventions as first-line therapy for chronic disease, many clinicians view them as adjunctive treatment [5,6].
