Pattern formation along signaling gradients driven by active droplet behaviour of cell groups

The paper shows that Dictyostelium cells form swarms that behave like active droplets, leading to clump deposition and differentiation through a 'musical chairs' mechanism.

Complementary genetic and epigenetic changes facilitate rapid adaptation to multiple global change stressors

This study experimentally evolved marine copepods under global change stressors and found complementary genetic and epigenetic changes contribute to resilience, with epigenetic changes linked to stress response and gene expression.

Temperature-dependent gene regulatory divergence underlies local adaptation with gene flow in the Atlantic silverside

This study examines gene regulatory divergence in Atlantic silversides under temperature variation and gene flow, finding trans-regulatory divergence and reduced thermal plasticity in hybrids.

Experimental evolution reveals the synergistic genomic mechanisms of adaptation to ocean warming and acidification in a marine copepod

This study identifies genetic variation enabling copepod adaptation to ocean warming, acidification, and their combination over 25 generations, revealing synergistic genomic responses to multiple stressors.

Comparative linkage mapping uncovers massive chromosomal inversions that suppress recombination between locally adapted fish populations

The paper compares recombination landscapes between two Atlantic silverside populations, identifying chromosomal inversions that suppress recombination and impact adaptation.

Rapid, but limited, zooplankton adaptation to simultaneous warming and acidification

The paper shows rapid but limited adaptation in copepod populations to combined ocean warming and acidification over 25 generations.

Loss and recovery of transcriptional plasticity after long-term adaptation to global change conditions in a marine copepod

This study shows that long-term adaptation to warming and acidification in marine copepods leads to loss of transcriptional plasticity but allows recovery through genetic adaptation.
