This study develops a mathematical framework to analyze how protein stability adapts to complex thermal environments, showing that mean temperature and thermal fluctuations have distinct effects on thermodynamic parameters.

This study identifies polygenic adaptation in Dianthus sylvestris to soil conditions during postglacial range expansion, showing pleiotropy and soil heterogeneity influence genetic variation.

This study shows that climatic shifts drive adaptive divergence in Dianthus sylvestris by shaping life-history strategies through selection on growth and reproductive traits at different elevations.

The paper develops target capture probes and a bioinformatics pipeline for phylogenomic studies in rosewoods and legumes, revealing new species and gene tree discordance.

The paper shows that the giant duckweed has extremely low genetic diversity due to its exceptionally low mutation rate despite a large population size.
