Setting Climate Targets: The Case of Higher Education and Research

This paper analyzes climate strategies of 53 higher education and research organizations to develop guidelines for setting relevant climate targets.

Mutant fate in spatially structured populations on graphs: connecting models to experiments

The paper bridges evolutionary graph theory and experimental conditions by introducing a new model of spatially structured populations and analyzing recent experiments to test predictions about mutant fixation.

Genetics and material culture support repeated expansions into Paleolithic Eurasia from a population hub out of Africa

The paper uses Eurasian Paleolithic DNA evidence to model population dynamics and proposes a population hub out of Africa that led to multiple expansions into Eurasia.

West Asian sources of the Eurasian component in Ethiopians: a reassessment

The paper reassesses the sources of the Eurasian component in Ethiopians using ancestry deconvolution, revealing a genomic signature linked to Mediterranean and Levant population movements post-Minoan civilization collapse.

The Tell-Tale Genome

The paper uses whole-genome sequences to show that demic diffusion drives folktale transmission at small geographic scales in Eurasia and Africa.

Extensive farming in Estonia started through a sex-biased migration from the Steppe

The paper analyzes genome data from Estonian hunter-gatherers and farmers to show that farming in Estonia began with a sex-biased migration from the Steppe involving admixture with Anatolian farmers.
