Intracellular Pseudomonas aeruginosa persist and evade antibiotic treatment in a wound infection model

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa persists intracellularly in zebrafish wounds, evading antibiotics and host immunity, and can be re-sensitized by anti-biofilm agents.

Ancient dolphin genomes reveal rapid repeated adaptation to coastal waters

This study uses ancient dolphin genomes to show rapid adaptation to coastal habitats through standing genetic variation and gene flow from coastal to pelagic populations.

Impact of Holocene environmental change on the evolutionary ecology of an Arctic top predator

This study examines how Holocene environmental changes impacted the evolutionary ecology of Greenlandic polar bears using genomics, isotopic analysis, morphometrics, and ecological modeling.

Sex and size matter: foraging ecology of offshore harbour porpoises in waters around Greenland

The paper examines sex and size differences in the foraging ecology of harbour porpoises using stable isotope analysis, finding females have higher trophic levels and larger ecological niches.

Evidence of long-term purging of mutation load in killer whale genomes

The paper examines mutation load in killer whale genomes, finding that high latitude populations have fewer non-synonymous mutations, suggesting purging of recessive deleterious mutations.

Selection on ancestral genetic variation fuels parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins

The paper investigates how selection on ancestral genetic variation drives parallel ecotype formation in bottlenose dolphins by analyzing whole genomes of 57 individuals.

Killer whale genomes reveal a complex history of recurrent admixture and vicariance

This study uses killer whale genomes to reveal complex population history with recurrent admixture and vicariance, showing genetic homogenization at lower latitudes and differentiation at high latitudes.
