Growing older, growing more diverse: sea turtles and epibiotic cyanobacteria

L. Kanjer, K. Filek, M. Mucko, M. Zekan Lupic, M. Frleta-Valic, R. Gracan, S. Bosak

This study examines cyanobacterial diversity on loggerhead sea turtle carapaces, finding increased diversity with turtle age and linking it to habitat shifts.

Phenotypic plasticity as a mechanism of cave colonization and adaptation

H. Bilandzija, B. Hollifield, M. Steck, G. Meng, M. Ng, A. Koch, R. Gracan, H. Cetkovic, M. Porter, K. Renner, W. R. Jeffery

This study shows that cave-related traits in Astyanax mexicanus can appear within one generation through phenotypic plasticity, not just genetic adaptation.
