An angiosperm-wide perspective on reproductive strategiesand floral traits

The paper analyzes floral and reproductive traits across 361 flowering plant species to show that dioecy is linked to floral traits, while correlations with lifespan and dispersal are spurious.

RIDGE, a tool tailored to detect gene flow barriers across species pairs

RIDGE detects gene flow barriers between species pairs using Bayesian statistics and summary statistics, showing effectiveness in identifying barrier loci and migration signals.

Co-segregation of recombinant chromatids maintains genome-wide heterozygosity in an asexual nematode

The study shows that genome-wide heterozygosity in the asexual nematode Mesorhabditis belari is maintained through directed assortment of recombinant chromatids during female meiosis.

Mating systems and recombination landscape strongly shape genetic diversity and selection in wheat relatives

The paper quantifies how mating systems and linked selection affect genetic diversity and selection in wheat relatives, showing selfing amplifies linked selection and reduces diversity.

Polygenic selection to a changing optimum under self-fertilisation

This paper investigates how self-fertilisation affects polygenic adaptation to a new environment, showing that high selfing can enhance long-term fitness despite challenges like linkage disequilibrium.

Inference of evolutionary transitions to self-fertilization using whole-genome sequences

This paper develops two methods to infer the timing of transitions from outcrossing to selfing using whole-genome polymorphism data, applied to Arabidopsis thaliana.

Mating system and speciation I: accumulation of genetic incompatibilities in allopatry

This paper models how self-fertilization affects the accumulation of genetic incompatibilities during speciation in allopatry, showing it can facilitate reproductive isolation under different mutation scenarios.

Trait-dependent diversification in angiosperms: patterns, models and data

This study synthesizes data from 152 studies on angiosperm diversification using SSE models, finding that trait effects vary across clades and dataset properties influence results.

Asexual male production by ZW recombination in Artemia parthenogenetica

The paper investigates how asexual males are produced in Artemia parthenogenetica through ZW recombination during non-clonal parthenogenesis, finding evidence of loss of heterozygosity at the sex determination locus.

Diversity and determinants of recombination landscapes in flowering plants

The paper investigates recombination landscapes in flowering plants, finding that chromosome size and gene distribution influence crossover patterns and recombination rates.

Establishment of local adaptation in partly self-fertilizing populations

The paper derives a closed-form approximation for the probability of establishing a locally advantageous allele in partially self-fertilizing populations under weak selection and varying migration modes.

Pulled Diversification Rates, Lineages-Through-Time Plots and Modern Macroevolutionary Modelling

The paper evaluates diversification rate estimation methods using simulations, introduces 'pulled rates', and discusses the reliability of macroevolutionary models.

Phenotypic plasticity, population structure and adaptation in a young weed species with a worldwide distribution

This study investigates the roles of phenotypic plasticity and genetic adaptation in the rapid global spread of the weed Capsella bursa-pastoris through common garden experiments.

The selfing syndrome overshadows other differences when comparing fitness across Capsella species

The study compares fitness traits across four Capsella species, finding that outcrossing species outperform selfing ones, while polyploidy and geographic origin have less significant effects.

The road to sorghum domestication: evidence from nucleotide diversity and gene expression patterns

This study analyzes gene expression and nucleotide diversity in domesticated and wild sorghum to identify genetic changes associated with domestication.

From drift to draft: How much do beneficial mutations actually contribute to predictions of Ohta’s slightly deleterious model of molecular evolution?

The paper tests the Nearly Neutral Theory by analyzing genomic data from 59 species, finding that both effective population size and beneficial mutations influence the proportion of effectively neutral mutations.

Evolution of barrier loci at an intermediate stage of speciation with gene flow

The paper investigates genetic differentiation between hybridizing campions, finding that barrier loci evolve under divergent selection despite ongoing gene flow.

Ecological strategy and genetic load in the shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) from the core and the limit of its natural range.

This study examines how genetic load and ecological strategies affect the performance of shepherd's purse accessions from the front and core of its range under competition.

Estimating the fitness effect of deleterious mutations during the two phases of the life cycle: a new method applied to the root-rot fungus Heterobasidion parviporum

This paper develops a new statistical model to test predictions about deleterious mutation effects in haploid-diploid life cycles, applying it to the fungus Heterobasidion parviporum.

Towards the new normal: Transcriptomic and genomic changes in the two subgenomes of a 100,000 years old allopolyploid, Capsella bursa-pastoris

This study examines transcriptomic and genomic changes in the subgenomes of an ancient allopolyploid plant, finding strong parental legacy and adaptive expression biases in different tissues.

Pervasive hybridizations in the history of wheat relatives

This study provides a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of wheat relatives, revealing a complex evolutionary history with new insights into the origins of the D genome and other gene flow events.

Codon usage bias in animals: disentangling the effects of natural selection, effective population size and GC-biased gene conversion

This study investigates codon usage bias in 31 non-model animal species, finding translational selection in large-Ne species and GC-biased gene conversion as a dominant force across all species.

Evolutionary forces affecting synonymous variations in plant genomes

The paper investigates the evolutionary forces shaping synonymous variations in plant genomes, finding that GC-biased gene conversion is more prevalent and stronger than selection in most species.
