The paper investigates how assortative mating influenced the rapid evolution of flowering phenology in Lythrum salicaria during its invasion of eastern North America.

The paper introduces a blocking primer to improve detection of tick-borne pathogens in Ixodes scapularis ticks using 16S rRNA metabarcoding, achieving sensitivity comparable to qPCR and detecting additional pathogens.

The paper uses ddRAD and GT-seq to analyze genetic diversity in three Calamagrostis species, informing seed sourcing strategies for restoration in northern Canada.

This study observes rapid genetic adaptation and population dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana across diverse climates over 5 years, showing predictable adaptation trends linked to survival and extinction risks.

The paper examines latitudinal clines in flowering phenology of Lythrum salicaria, finding earlier flowering and bet-hedging strategies at higher latitudes linked to adaptive evolution during invasion.

The paper presents a draft genome of Alliaria petiolata to support invasion genetics research and conservation strategies.

The paper introduces baRcodeR and PyTrackDat to improve reproducibility in biological sample labeling, tracking, and data curation.
