This study identifies AmEbony as a key gene for thermal melanism and high-elevation adaptation in honey bees through genomic and functional analyses.

The study shows that field conditions override the growth-defense tradeoff in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating ACD6 activity, unlike greenhouse conditions.

The paper uses pool-based amplicon sequencing to analyze haplotype diversity at the ACCase resistance locus in blackgrass, revealing common soft sweeps and the persistence of TSR haplotypes.

The paper combines shotgun sequencing and rDNA amplicon data to improve detection of microbe-microbe interaction networks in plant leaves by addressing compositionality issues in amplicon data.

The paper presents a rainfall-manipulation experiment with 517 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to study adaptation and fitness under different climate conditions.
