Analyses of trait evolution and diversification reveal multiple adaptive periods in the fungal order Hymenochaetales

This study analyzes trait evolution and diversification in the fungal order Hymenochaetales, revealing multiple adaptive periods and identifying key drivers of diversification.

Matrix game between full siblings in Mendelian populations

The paper analyzes genotype dynamics in sibling interactions using game theory, showing conditions for cooperation and defection fixation in Mendelian populations.

Game of full siblings in Mendelian populations

The paper applies game theory to sibling interactions in Mendelian populations, showing how genotype-phenotype mappings affect evolutionary stability in sibling conflicts.

One thousand soils for molecular understanding of belowground carbon cycling

This paper introduces the 1000 Soils Pilot to study belowground carbon cycling using molecular and microstructural analyses, finding that frequent wildfires reduce soil respiration and alter SOM oxidation states and soil structure.

Lessons on fruiting body morphogenesis from genomes and transcriptomes of Agaricomycetes

This paper identifies 921 conserved genes involved in fruiting body morphogenesis across Agaricomycetes fungi and proposes functional hypotheses for many of them.

Dynamically unstable ESS in matrix games under time constraints

The paper shows that evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS) in matrix games under time constraints can be dynamically unstable, with examples demonstrating destabilization and the emergence of stable limit cycles.

Gene age predicts the transcriptional landscape of sexual morphogenesis in multicellular fungi

The paper shows that gene age predicts transcriptional patterns during sexual morphogenesis in multicellular fungi, with younger genes showing more expression variation and functional specialization.

Developmental innovations promote species diversification in mushroom-forming fungi

This study shows that developmental innovations in mushroom-forming fungi, such as enclosed spore structures, are linked to increased diversification rates and adaptive radiation.

A universal RT-qPCR assay for "One Health" detection of influenza A viruses

This paper develops a universal RT-qPCR assay for detecting all influenza A virus subtypes across species, validated across multiple hosts and laboratories.

Comparative genomics reveals the origin of fungal hyphae and multicellularity

This study uses comparative genomics to show that fungal hyphae evolved through gene co-option and limited diversification, contrasting with other multicellular lineages.

Five years investigation of female and male genotypes in Perigord black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) revealed contrasted reproduction strategies

The study investigates the genetic structure of male and female genotypes in Perigord black truffle over five years, revealing contrasting reproduction strategies and dynamics.
