Far From Home: Evolution of haploid and diploid populations reveals common, strong, and variable pleiotropic effects in non-home environments

The paper evolves haploid and diploid yeast populations in different environments and finds common, unpredictable pleiotropic effects of adaptive mutations in non-home environments.

Evolutionary genetics of Drosophila melanogaster immunity: role of the X chromosome and sex-specific dominance

The paper investigates the role of the X chromosome in immune response evolution in Drosophila melanogaster and finds sex-specific dominance patterns in immunity-related alleles.

Adaptive walks on high-dimensional fitness landscapes and seascapes with distance-dependent statistics

This paper introduces high-dimensional fitness landscapes with distance-dependent statistics to study adaptive walks and evolutionary dynamics, showing that past evolution significantly conditions future adaptive potential.

Stabilization of extensive fine-scale diversity by spatio-temporal chaos

The paper shows that spatio-temporal chaos can stabilize extensive microbial diversity without niche differences, using generalized Lotka-Volterra models with anti-symmetric interactions.
