Ocean currents drive the worldwide colonization of the most widespread marine plant, eelgrass (Zostera marina)

The paper reconstructs the colonization history of eelgrass using genomic data, showing trans-Pacific currents drove its spread and Atlantic populations arrived more recently with lower genetic diversity.

Demographic inference provides insights into the extirpation and ecological dominance of eusocial snapping shrimps

This study uses demographic inference to show that eusocial snapping shrimps have lower but more stable population sizes, which may explain their ecological dominance but also their vulnerability to environmental changes.
