Of Brobdingnag and Lilliput, or how island area may link body size, genome size and mutation rate

The paper proposes a neutral model linking island area to body size, genome size, and mutation rate, finding modest support for the model across global datasets.

Across-lineage prediction of within-KO sequence diversity by temperature and pH differs among subcellular compartments in hydrothermal spring communities

The paper examines how temperature and pH affect sequence diversity in microbial compartments across metagenomes from hydrothermal springs, finding pH has a stronger impact than temperature.
