Adaptation to increasing elevation via metabolic rates and mitochondrial genetics in Andean birds

This study examines how Andean birds adapt to elevation through metabolic rates and mitochondrial genetics, finding higher BMR and smaller body size at higher elevations despite similar mitochondrial function.

Increased rates of hybridization in swordtails are associated with water pollution

The paper investigates how water pollution affects hybridization between two swordtail fish species by analyzing genomic and environmental data.

Opposing behavioral roles for a single gene in a species with a supergene polymorphism

The paper shows a single gene, VIP, has opposing roles in aggression and parental care in white-throated sparrows through differential expression in brain regions linked to a supergene.

Admixture mapping reveals evidence for multiple mitonuclear incompatibilities in swordtail fish hybrids

The paper uses admixture mapping in swordtail fish hybrids to identify mitonuclear incompatibilities, finding nine genomic regions involved in interactions between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.

An Affordable and Customizable Arduino-based Thermo-controller for Thermal Ecology Experiments
