This study shows that recreational climbing alters cliff soil chemistry and plant-associated fungal communities, with potential impacts on plant function and ecosystem resilience.

This study investigates MHC evolution in seven newt species, finding a compact core MHC region and lineage-specific duplications, challenging previous assumptions about MHC expansion in giant genomes.

The paper introduces the Amphibian Genomics Consortium to address gaps in amphibian genomic resources and promote international collaboration for research and conservation.
