Evolutionary dynamics of the tgr gene family in Dictyostelium allows escape from Crozier's Paradox

Rafael Prieto, Sean McFadyen, Fabiola Medina…·Elizabeth A. Ostrowski

The paper examines Crozier's Paradox in Dictyostelium discoideum by analyzing tgrB1 and tgrC1 genes, finding no strong evidence for the paradox and suggesting recombination generates genetic variation.

Being bigger is better: Size-dependent advantages of plasmodial fusion in a multinucleated slime mould

Cathleen M.E. Broersma, Daniel E. Rozen

This study investigates plasmodial fusion in Physarum polycephalum, showing size-dependent survival benefits and increased fusion rates under abiotic stress, regardless of genetic relatedness.
