First evidence of a causal link between genetic variation and thermal adaptation in a schistosome host snail

This study identifies a genetic basis for thermal adaptation in Bulinus truncatus snails, showing how local adaptation influences survival, reproduction, and ecophysiological traits in response to temperature.

Effects of haemosporidian co-infection and parasitemia on reproductive strategies in a polymorphic species

This study examines how haemosporidian co-infection and parasitemia affect reproductive strategies and success in white-throated sparrows, finding increased extra-pair paternity and mixed effects on nestling quality.

Widespread hybridization between invasive bleak (Alburnus alburnus) and native Iberian chubs (Squalius spp.): a neglected threat

The paper assesses hybridization between invasive bleak and native Iberian chubs, finding widespread hybridization involving three endemic species and highlighting conservation concerns.
