Metamorphosis reverses the behavioural phenotype in Rana arvalis along a latitudinal gradient

This study examines behavioural changes in Rana arvalis along a latitudinal gradient, finding reversed behavioural patterns between tadpole and froglet stages.

Deep learning reveals the complex genetic architecture of a highly polymorphic sexual trait

This study uses deep learning to analyze the genetic basis of male guppy color variation, revealing a polygenic and genome-wide architecture with contributions from neural crest cell migration loci and gene duplicates across sex chromosomes.

The Major Histocompatibility Complex modulates Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Ranavirus infections in three amphibian species

The paper examines the relationship between MHC diversity and infection status in three amphibian species exposed to Bd and Rv, finding associations between MHC alleles and infection intensity.

Association between the skin microbiome and MHC class II diversity in an amphibian

The paper examines the relationship between skin microbiome diversity and MHC class II diversity in moor frogs, finding correlations between bacterial diversity and MHC genetic variation.

Functional convergence of genomic and transcriptomic genetic architecture underlying sociability in a live-bearing fish

The paper investigates the genetic basis of sociability in guppies using quantitative genetics and transcriptomics, finding convergent genomic and transcriptomic signatures related to synaptic function and calcium signaling.

Body size mediates latitudinal population differences in response to Bd infection in two amphibian species.

The paper examines how body size and geographical origin influence Bd infection tolerance in two amphibian species, finding that smaller individuals from northern regions are more susceptible to Bd.
