Strong purifying selection in haploid tissue-specific genes of Scots pine supports the masking theory

S. Cervantes, R. Kesalahti, T. A. Kumpula, T. M. Mattila, H. Helantera, T. Pyhajarvi

The study tests the masking theory by comparing purifying selection in haploid and diploid tissues of Scots pine, finding stronger selection in haploid megagametophyte genes.

Extensive hybridisation between multiple differently adapted species may aid persistence in a changing climate

I. Satokangas, P. Nouhaud, B. Seifert, P. Punttila, R. Schultz, M. Jones, J. Siren, H. Helantera, J. Kulmuni

This study shows extensive hybridisation between five wood ant species in Finland, with hybrids occupying warmer habitats than cold-adapted parents, suggesting potential for increased hybridisation with climate change.

Evidence of phylosymbiosis in Formica ants

R. Jackson, P. A. Patapiou, G. Golding, H. Helantera, C. K. Economou, M. Chapuisat, L. M. Henry

The paper investigates whether phylogenetically related ant species have distinct and stable microbiomes, finding that microbial communities mirror host phylogeny, supporting phylosymbiosis.
