Gene Flow and Recent Lineage Colonization Constrain Genetic Differentiation Despite Local Adaptation

Dylan J. Padilla Pérez, Lisa K. Brady, Jody M. Taft…·David Kiernan Skelly

The paper examines how gene flow and colonization affect genetic differentiation in wood frogs, finding that selection overcomes genetic drift despite recent colonization and connectivity.

Why are telomeres the length that they are? Insight from a phylogenetic comparative analysis

Derek M Benson, Dylan J. Padilla Pérez, Dale F. DeNardo

The paper investigates the evolutionary factors influencing telomere length across vertebrates and finds no direct link between body mass, lifespan, or metabolism but identifies an interactive effect between metabolism and body mass, along with a positive correlation between telomerase activity and telomere length.
