Reproductive and ecological adaptations to climate underpin the evolution of sociality in lizards

B. Halliwell, E. A. O'Connor, T. Uller, S. Meiri, B. Holland, C. K. Cornwallis, G. While

The paper investigates the role of climate and habitat in the evolution of social grouping in lizards, finding that sociality is linked to cool, dry climates through indirect ecological adaptations.

The distribution of fitness effects during adaptive walks using a simple genetic network

N. L. V. O'Brien, B. Holland, J. Engelstaedter, D. Ortiz-Barrientos

This study models adaptation using a genetic network and finds that fitness effect distributions differ from theoretical expectations, showing fewer large-effect beneficial mutations and a bimodal distribution in the network model.

Ancient and modern genomes reveal microsatellites maintain a dynamic equilibrium through deep time

B. J. McComish, M. A. Charleston, M. Parks, C. Baroni, M. C. Salvatore, R. Li, G. Zhang, C. D. Millar, B. Holland, D. M. Lambert

This study analyzes microsatellite dynamics across ancient and modern genomes to show they maintain a stable length distribution over time despite individual variability.

Mitogenomic Diversity in Sacred Ibis Mummies sheds light on early Egyptian practices

S. Wasef, S. Subramanian, R. O'Rorke, L. Huynen, S. El-Marghani, C. Curtis, A. Popinga, B. Holland, S. Ikram, C. Millar, E. Willerslev, D. Lambert

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes of Sacred Ibis mummies to determine how ancient Egyptians obtained birds for mummification, finding high genetic diversity suggesting wild taming rather than centralized farming.
