Experimental evolution under biased sex ratios: phenotypic and genomic responses in the bulb mite, Rhizoglyphus robini

This study evolves bulb mite populations under male- and female-biased sex ratios to examine genomic and phenotypic responses to sexual selection and conflict, finding no significant effect on population fitness or genetic diversity.

Population Resilience Under Environmental Deterioration in Socially Monogamous Systems with Mutual Mate Choice

This study shows that extra-pair paternity (EPP) can enhance population resilience under environmental stress in socially monogamous systems when females mate with higher-quality males, but this benefit diminishes in small populations.

Mating Systems Shape Evolutionary Rescue

This study shows that mating systems influence a population's ability to adapt to environmental change and affect extinction risk.

Stand age drives changes in the biodiversity and microclimate of oil palm plantations

This study shows that oil palm plantation age affects microclimate and biodiversity, with older plantations being cooler, more humid, and supporting different species abundances and diversity.

Sex-specific recombination landscape in a species with holocentric chromosomes

The paper examines sex-specific recombination patterns in bulb mites with holocentric chromosomes, finding similar recombination landscapes in males and females with higher rates at chromosome ends and female-specific higher overall rates.

Fighting to persist: Genetic rescue increases long-term fitness despite elevated genetic load

This study shows genetic rescue sustains fitness benefits over 20 generations despite introduced genetic load and thermal stress in a male-dimorphic mite.

Fighting Through the Heat: How Sexual Selection Influences Demography Under Recurrent Heatwaves

This study shows that sexual selection does not modulate population sensitivity to heatwaves but may increase resilience to prolonged bottlenecks in the soil mite Sancassania berlesei.

Variable responses of individual species to tropical forest degradation

The study examines how individual species respond to tropical forest degradation, finding significant variation in responses across populations and surveys.
