Sex differences in immune function and disease risk are not easily explained by an evolutionary mismatch

A. M. Arner, B. Muhoya, M. S. Rozado, M. R. Gurven, J. Kahumbu, J. Kamau, P. Kinyua, F. Lotukoi, D. J. Martins, C. Miano, M. J. Montague, S. Njeru, J. Peng, P. Straub, M. M. Watowich, , A. J. Lea

This study examines sex differences in immune function and disease risk across populations, finding no consistent support for the evolutionary mismatch hypothesis.

Transposable element insertions are associated with Batesian mimicry in the pantropical butterfly Hypolimnas misippus

A. Orteu, M. Kucka, E. Katili, C. Ngumbao, I. J. Gordon, I. Ng'iru, G. Talavera, I. A. Warren, S. Collins, R. H. ffrench-Constant, D. J. Martins, Y. F. Chan, C. D. Jiggins, S. H. Martin

This study identifies transposable element insertions at the M locus in Hypolimnas misippus that drive adaptive atavism for Batesian mimicry of Danaus chrysippus.

Stepwise evolution of a butterfly supergene via duplication and inversion

K.-W. Kim, R. De-Kayne, I. J. Gordon, K. S. Omufwoko, D. J. Martins, R. ffrench-Constant, S. H. Martin

The paper investigates the evolution of a butterfly supergene, identifying structural duplications and inversions that contributed to recombination suppression over millions of years.

Whole-chromosome hitchhiking driven by a male-killing endosymbiont

S. H. Martin, K. S. Singh, I. J. Gordon, K. S. Omufwoko, S. Collins, I. A. Warren, H. Munby, O. Brattström, W. Traut, D. J. Martins, D. A. S. Smith, C. D. Jiggins, C. Bass, R. H. ffrench-Constant

The paper investigates the origin and spread of a neo-W chromosome in Danaus chrysippus, showing it hitchhiked with a male-killing Spiroplasma endosymbiont due to suppressed recombination.

In situ activation and heterologous production of a cryptic lantibiotic from a plant-ant derived Saccharopolyspora species

E. Vikeli, D. Widdick, S. F. Batey, D. Heine, N. A. Holmes, M. J. Bibb, D. J. Martins, N. E. Pierce, M. I. Hutchings, B. Wilkinson

This paper identifies and activates a cryptic lantibiotic gene cluster in a plant-ant associated Saccharopolyspora species, enabling the discovery of a novel antibiotic, kyamicin, and demonstrating a platform for heterologous production of lanthipeptides.
