This study identifies 18 chromosomal inversions in Littorina saxatilis that respond to environmental variation and influence phenotypic traits, explaining 15% of phenotypic variation.

The paper compares genetic differentiation and inversion patterns in snail ecotypes across two hybrid zones, finding shared and site-specific genomic architectures for adaptation to wave exposure.

This study benchmarks three geometric morphometric methods for analyzing gastropod shell shape, finding that each method has distinct strengths in clustering, interpretability, and efficiency for different research goals.

This paper presents a new chromosome-scale genome assembly of Littorina saxatilis with improved contiguity and completeness, enabling better study of chromosomal inversions and their role in speciation.

poolHelper simulates Pool-Seq data to optimize study design by evaluating parameter combinations for accurate allele frequency estimation with minimal sequencing effort.

The paper analyzes the microbiome of wrackbeds and seaweed flies along the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition, finding shifts in microbial communities and functionality linked to polysaccharide degradation.

The paper examines genomic divergence in Drosophila montana to identify cold adaptation signatures, finding 250 genes with accelerated divergence and outlier loci on the X chromosome.
