The paper analyzes the genomic consequences of a severe bottleneck in Owens pupfish, finding reduced genetic diversity and a 17-fold contraction in effective population size, but low recent inbreeding due to population expansion.

The paper analyzes the transcriptomes of dengue mosquito neurons to show that olfactory receptors are coexpressed within families but not across families, revealing evolutionary patterns in olfactory systems.

The study estimates mutation rates in Devils Hole pupfish, finding higher rates than expected for its small population size, contradicting the drift-barrier hypothesis.

The paper investigates how long-term small population size and inbreeding contribute to premature death in Devils Hole pupfish using genomic and phenotypic data.

This study identifies shared genetic adaptation signals in mesopelagic lanternfishes to climate change using whole-genome sequencing across multiple oceanic regions.

The paper quantifies indirect genetic effects from social partners on juvenile morphometric traits in Florida scrub-jays, finding effects from helpers and fathers but not mothers.

This study compares adaptive radiations in two pupfish populations, finding limited genetic parallelism and highlighting the role of de novo mutations in driving rapid diversification.

The paper develops two pan-neuronal genetic drivers in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using CRISPR/Cas9, enabling broad neuronal manipulation and labeling with minimal behavioral impact.
