Local cryptic diversity in salinity adaptation mechanisms in a wild outcrossing Brassica

This study identifies contrasting salinity adaptation mechanisms in neighboring Brassica fruticulosa populations using genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Parallel adaptation in autopolyploid Arabidopsis arenosa is dominated by repeated recruitment of shared alleles

The paper investigates adaptation in autopolyploid Arabidopsis arenosa, finding that parallel adaptation is driven by shared alleles and rare de novo mutations in ion homeostasis genes.

Genomic novelty versus convergence in the basis of adaptation to whole genome duplication

This paper compares genomic adaptation to whole genome duplication in two species, finding gene-level divergence but process-level convergence in meiosis and stress responses.

Proteasome-mediated protein degradation resets the cell division cycle and triggers ESCRT-III-mediated cytokinesis in an archaeon

This study identifies proteasome-mediated degradation of CdvB as a mechanism resetting the cell division cycle and triggering cytokinesis in the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.

Dormancy dampens the microbial distance-decay relationship

The paper investigates how microbial dormancy affects biodiversity patterns by analyzing distance-decay relationships in forested ponds using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Convergent evolution in Arabidopsis halleri and Arabidopsis arenosa on calamine metalliferous soils

The paper examines convergent evolution in two Arabidopsis species on metalliferous soils, finding gene and functional network convergence with species-specific molecular factors.
