The Gut Microbiome of Exudivorous Marmosets in the Wild and Captivity

This study compares the gut microbiome of wild and captive exudivorous marmosets, finding that captivity alters microbial composition and function, with implications for animal welfare.

Genomic Skimming and Nanopore Sequencing Uncover Cryptic Hybridization in One of World's Most Threatened Primates

The paper uses genomic skimming and nanopore sequencing to identify a cryptic hybrid marmoset with a C. aurita phenotype but C. penicillata mitochondrial lineage.

Genie: An interactive real-time simulation for teaching genetic drift

Genie is an interactive real-time simulation for teaching genetic drift, shown to be as effective as traditional methods in reducing misconceptions.

A community-maintained standard library of population genetic models

The paper introduces stdpopsim, a community-maintained library for population genetic models, to standardize simulations and facilitate benchmarking of inference tools.

The role of gene flow in rapid and repeated evolution of cave related traits in Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus

This study shows that gene flow plays a significant role in the rapid evolution of cave-related traits in Mexican tetra, challenging the classic hypothesis of disuse and drift.

Experimental evolution reveals a novel avenue to release catabolite repression via mutations in XylR

This study evolves E. coli strains with mutations in XylR to enhance xylose fermentation without glucose repression, achieving high efficiency in mixed sugar utilization.
