Adaptation to complex environments is associated with higher fitness costs under benign conditions

This study shows that adaptation to complex environments with multiple stressors leads to lower fitness gains and higher fitness reductions under benign conditions compared to single stressors.

Intraspecific variation at the free-living stage of a soil-borne pathogen is organized into an exploration syndrome associated with infectivity

The paper measures phenotypic variation in free-living stages of Aphanomyces euteiches and identifies an 'exploration syndrome' linked to infectivity and geographic origin.

Phylotranscriptomics Allows Distinguishing Major Gene Flow Events from Incomplete Lineage Sorting in Rapidly Diversifying Mimetic Orchids (Genus Ophrys)

This study uses phylotranscriptomics to distinguish between gene flow and incomplete lineage sorting in Ophrys orchids, revealing ancient adaptive gene flow events.

The macronuclear genomic landscape within Tetrahymena thermophila

This study sequenced the macronuclear genomes of 22 Tetrahymena thermophila strains to explore intraspecific genomic variation, revealing gene diversification in micronuclear centromeres and a genomic barcode for population dynamics.

Broccoli: combining phylogenetic and network analyses for orthology assignment

Broccoli improves orthology assignment by combining phylogenetic and network analyses, outperforming existing pipelines on benchmark datasets.

Consensus assessment of the contamination level of publicly available cyanobacterial genomes

The paper assesses contamination levels in 440 cyanobacterial genomes using a consensus of six methods, finding over 5% are highly contaminated.
