Environment-Dependent Modes of Adaptive Evolution in Neuroblastoma: Plasticity as a Selectable Trait

This study identifies three modes of plasticity in neuroblastoma that shape tumour evolution under selective pressures and therapy resistance.

Parallel on-chip micropipettes enabling quantitative multiplexed characterization of vesicle mechanics and cell aggregates rheology

This paper introduces a high-throughput method for quantitatively measuring mechanical properties of biological samples using parallel micropipettes.

Rapid establishment of species barriers in plants compared to animals

The paper finds that genetic exchange is more frequent between animal species than plant species at the same level of genetic divergence, suggesting faster establishment of species barriers in plants.

Holocene climate change promoted allopatric divergence and disjunct geographic distribution in a bee orchid species

This study uses population genomics and ecological niche modeling to show recent allopatric divergence and climate-driven range shifts in the bee orchid Ophrys aveyronensis.

The effects of environmental heterogeneity within a city on the evolution of clines

The paper examines how fine-scale urbanization creates micro-clines in HCN defense traits within city parks, showing opposite patterns to broader urban-rural gradients.

Introgression between highly divergent sea squirt genomes: an adaptive breakthrough?

The paper examines introgression between Ciona intestinalis and Ciona robusta in the English Channel, finding a hotspot of recent introgression linked to a cytochrome P450 gene.

Convergent morphology and divergent phenology: unravelling the coexistence of mimetic Morpho butterfly species

This study shows that temporal segregation in patrolling activity allows co-mimetic Morpho butterfly species to coexist despite phenotypic similarity and interspecific interactions.

A new rat model of creatine transporter deficiency reveals behavioral disorder and altered brain metabolism

This study introduces a new rat model of creatine transporter deficiency, showing brain creatine deficiency, cognitive issues, and autistic features.

DILS : Demographic Inferences with Linked Selection by using ABC

DILS performs demographic inferences with linked selection using ABC on population genomic data, identifying models and loci associated with gene flow and population size changes.

The evolution of sex allocation in metapopulations

This study investigates how population turnover in metapopulations affects sex allocation in hermaphroditic species, finding that it can favor female-biased sex ratios, especially with low dispersal.

Evaluation of Upconverting nanoparticles towards heart theranostics

This study evaluates upconverting nanoparticles for heart theranostics, showing their safety and potential for controlled drug delivery without affecting cardiac function.

The divergence history of European blue mussel species reconstructed from Approximate Bayesian Computation: the effects of sequencing techniques and sampling strategies

This study uses Approximate Bayesian Computation to reconstruct the divergence history of European blue mussels, showing that binning strategies in site frequency spectra significantly affect results and that complex gene flow models are preferred.

Codon usage bias in animals: disentangling the effects of natural selection, effective population size and GC-biased gene conversion

This study investigates codon usage bias in 31 non-model animal species, finding translational selection in large-Ne species and GC-biased gene conversion as a dominant force across all species.
