A High-Fat and Fructose Diet in Dogs Mirrors Insulin Resistance and β-cell Dysfunction Characteristic of Impaired Glucose Tolerance in Humans

This study shows that a high-fat and fructose diet in dogs causes insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction similar to human impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes.

Gametic selection and mating systems show mutually dependent evolution

This paper models the bidirectional relationship between gametic selection and mating systems, showing how mating systems influence gametic selection efficacy and vice versa.

The establishment of locally adaptive inversions in structured populations

This study shows that stronger local selection increases inversion establishment in structured populations by promoting maladaptive allele flow and adaptive haplotype capture.

Murine GFP-Mx1 forms phase-separated nuclear condensates and associates with cytoplasmic intermediate filaments: novel antiviral activity against vesicular stomatitis virus

X-linked meiotic drive boosts population size and persistence

This study shows that X-linked meiotic drivers can increase population size and persistence by adjusting sex ratios toward optimal levels for reproduction.

Haploid selection, sex ratio bias, and transitions between sex-determining systems

This study uses population genetic models to show that haploid selection and sex ratio biases can drive transitions between sex-determining systems, challenging previous theories that focused on sex ratio equalization.
