The coevolution of sex-specific dominance and allelic diversity at sexually antagonistic loci

The paper models how sex-specific dominance and allelic diversity coevolve at sexually antagonistic loci, showing that weak selection can lead to polyallelic polymorphism and reduced segregation load.

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.

The evolution of anisogamy does not always lead to male competition

This study challenges the assumption that anisogamy always leads to stronger male competition by showing that evolutionary outcomes depend on the type of competition and the conditions under which anisogamy evolves.

Latitudinal MHC variation and haplotype associated differential survival in response to experimental infection of two strains of Batrachochytrium dendrobatitis (Bd-GPL) in common toads

The paper investigates latitudinal variation in MHC diversity and its impact on survival in common toads infected with two strains of Bd-GPL, finding lower survival in northern toads with reduced MHC diversity.
