Shallow environmental gradients can cause range margins to form

The paper shows that shallow environmental gradients can lead to sharp range margins when multiple selection gradients steepen each other, even if one gradient is shallow across the range.

When does gene flow facilitate evolutionary rescue?

The paper presents a model showing that intermediate migration rates can maximize evolutionary rescue in structured populations, resolving conflicting views on gene flow's role in adaptation.

Structures of the PKA RIα holoenzyme with the FLHCC driver J-PKAcα or wild type PKAcα

This paper reports the crystal structures of J-PKAc fusion and wild-type PKA holoenzymes, revealing structural differences and conformational dynamics that may impact their function in FLHCC.

Establishment of locally adapted mutations under divergent selection

This paper develops an analytical framework to study the establishment probabilities of locally adapted mutations under divergent selection and finds that intermediate gene flow can enhance local adaptation rates.
