The paper identifies shared genomic signatures of Arctic adaptation across distantly related plant species by comparing genome assemblies and analyzing selection pressures and repetitive elements.

The paper presents the complete mitochondrial genome of Euterpe precatoria, assembled using PacBio HiFi sequencing and manual curation, revealing structural complexity and gene features characteristic of palm mitochondrial genomes.

The paper uses historical herbarium data to show how Arctic-alpine plant flowering times have changed in response to temperature increases over nearly 120 years.

The paper investigates how antipredator traits in skipper butterflies evolve in response to environmental variation, finding convergent evolution and rapid diversification of wing shape and color.
