Market Potential, Road Accessibility, and Firm Births: Evidence From 20 Years of Road Investment
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the causal effects of road accessibility, measured by market potential, on firm births in Portuguese municipalities between 1991 and 2016, a period marked by significant road improvements. We address the endogeneity of market potential by employing instrumental variables within Poisson Pseudo‐maximum Likelihood ...

Abstract The black abalone, Haliotis cracherodii, is a large, long‐lived marine mollusc that inhabits rocky intertidal habitats along the coast of California and Mexico. In 1985, populations were impacted by a bacterial disease known as withering syndrome (WS) that wiped out >90% of individuals, leading to the closure of all U.S.

ABSTRACT Ostrea edulis, the European flat oyster, was once a widespread economically and ecologically important marine species, but has suffered dramatic declines over the past two centuries. Consequently, there has been a surge in European restoration efforts, many of which focus on restocking as a conservation measure.

The Evolution of Locally Adaptive Chromosome Inversions in Mimulus guttatus
ABSTRACT Chromosomal inversion polymorphisms are ubiquitous across the diversity of diploid organisms and play a significant role in the evolution of adaptations in those species. Inversions are thought to operate as supergenes by trapping adaptive alleles at multiple linked loci through the suppression of recombination. While there is now considerable

The Distribution and Dispersal of Large Haploblocks in a Superspecies
ABSTRACT Haploblocks are regions of the genome that coalesce to an ancestor as a single unit. Differentiated haplotypes in these regions can result from the accumulation of mutational differences in low‐recombination chromosomal regions, especially when selective sweeps occur within geographically structured populations.

ABSTRACT Major threats to marine species and ecosystems include overfishing, invasive species, pollution and climate change. The changing climate not only imposes direct threats through the impacts of severe marine heatwaves, cyclones and ocean acidification but also complicates fisheries and invasive species management by driving species range shifts.

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids
ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.

A near‐gapless genome assembly of Pseudocydonia sinensis uncovers unique phenylpropanoid pathways
Summary Pseudocydonia sinensis, commonly known as Chinese quince, belongs to the Rosaceae family and is closely related to apple and pear. Despite its botanical significance, genomic resources for this species remain limited. We present a high‐quality, chromosome‐scale, and haplotype‐resolved genome assembly of P.
