The paper reports two Lima species with a 20-chromosome karyotype matching a proposed ancestral spiralian karyotype, revealing conserved synteny and lineage-specific fusions.

This paper identifies recurrent triploidy in cultivated enset, showing it increases yield and is selected by farmers.

This paper develops two PCR-based markers to rapidly determine mating types in Plasmopara viticola, showing perfect concordance with crossing assays on 37 strains.

This study investigates whether tissue heterogeneity in hosts leads to phenotypic but not genomic diversity in Wolbachia endosymbionts, finding that phenotypic plasticity, not genomic variation, drives diversity.

The paper identifies a genomic region containing a gene related to male sexual differentiation in the pill bug Armadillidium vulgare, potentially involved in sex-ratio distortion.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Plasmopara viticola, identifying genes under positive selection that may contribute to host adaptation.
