The paper identifies large chromosomal inversions in Lake Malawi cichlids and links them to habitat preference, lineage separation, and sex determination.

This study identifies cell-specific insulin/IGF signaling mechanisms in C. elegans that regulate presynaptic glutamate release during aversive olfactory learning.

The paper uses snRNA-seq and comparative genomics to study the evolution of bower building behavior in Lake Malawi cichlids, identifying glial gene module changes linked to the behavior.

This study demonstrates that five beta-tubulin alleles confer benzimidazole resistance in parasitic nematodes and shows that E198V reduces fitness in the absence of the drug.

The paper identifies parallel multimodal circuits in C. elegans that control local search behavior after food removal, showing redundancy and integration of chemosensory and mechanosensory inputs.

The paper investigates natural variation in sperm size among C. elegans strains and identifies genetic factors, particularly nurf-1, influencing male sperm size and competitive ability.

This study identifies extreme allelic heterogeneity in the ben-1 gene of C. elegans as a major determinant of natural resistance to albendazole, revealing multiple mechanisms of benzimidazole resistance.

This study shows that fitness advantages in the N2 C. elegans strain arise from genetic changes in npr-1 and glb-5, which affect O2 sensing and pheromone circuits, not directly from solitary feeding behavior.

The paper constructs genome-wide protein phylogenies for four African cichlid species to understand their evolutionary relationships with human and zebrafish proteins.

The paper models a negative feedback mechanism in C. elegans to explain age-dependent genetic architecture in reproduction, identifying how epistasis and sperm use influence egg-laying rates.
