This study uses whole-genome sequencing and ecological modeling to show that glacial cycles and climate adaptation drive genetic differentiation in the desert plant Encelia farinosa.

The paper integrates genomic, morphological, climatic, and behavioral data to show that behavioral flexibility constrains phenotypic divergence despite deep genomic differentiation in desert lizards.

The paper uses functional connectivity networks to analyze calcium dynamics in non-neural tissues, revealing non-random structural and informational patterns post-injury.
