Kinship Analysis Confirms Tolerant Galapagos Mockingbirds Are a Source of Nest Flies That Threaten Darwin's Finches

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Host species have evolved different strategies for dealing with parasites. ‘Vulnerable’ hosts, which suffer reduced fitness from parasites, are under selection to evolve defences. ‘Tolerant’ hosts, by contrast, avoid reductions in fitness by mitigating parasite damage.

Pangenome Analysis Reveals Structural Variations Associated With Citric Acid Accumulation in Prunus mume

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2623-2641, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pangenome can reveal a large number of variations, providing a more comprehensive view of the genetic diversity of species that a single reference genome cannot surpass. Here, we assembled the haplotype telomere‐to‐telomere genome and 10 chromosome‐level genomes, integrated with two previously reported genomes, and constructed a graph ...

Microstratigraphy and Site Formation Processes at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (Peru)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a microanalytical, geoarchaeological study of Quebrada Jaguay (QJ)‐280, a Terminal Pleistocene–Holocene coastal site in southern Peru. Combining micromorphology, µXRF and µFTIR, we develop a site formation model that also reassesses site use and forager behaviour.
