Elevated isoform richness in males largely reflects transcriptional noise rather than proteomic complexity

Linley M. Sherin, Bernadette D. Johnson, Alberto Corral‐López, Wouter van der Bijl, Judith E. Mank

The paper uses long-read RNA-Seq to show that male isoform richness in Poecilia reticulata reflects transcriptional noise rather than proteomic complexity.

Extreme Y chromosome polymorphism corresponds to five male reproductive morphs

Benjamin A. Sandkam, Pedro Almeida, Iulia Darolti, Benjamin L. S. Furman, Wouter van der Bijl, Jake Morris, Godfrey R. Bourne, Felix J. Breden, Judith E. Mank

The paper examines Y chromosome diversity in Poecilia parae, revealing five distinct Y haplotypes associated with different male reproductive morphs despite recombination suppression.

Revisiting the social brain hypothesis: contest duration depends on loser’s brain size

Wouter van der Bijl, Séverine D. Buechel, Alexander Kotrschal, Niclas Kolm

The paper tests the social brain hypothesis by showing that guppies with larger brains lose contests faster, suggesting brain size affects social competence in conflict resolution.
