Incorporating evolutionary and threat processes into crop wild relatives conservation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Crop wild relatives’ genetic diversity is usually not considered in conservation planning. Here, the authors introduce an approach to identify conservation areas based on evolutionary and threat processes, by developing proxies of genetic differentiation,

Multiple domestication events explain the origin of Gossypium hirsutum landraces in Mexico [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Several Mesoamerican crops constitute wild‐to‐domesticated complexes generated by multiple initial domestication events, and continuous gene flow among crop populations and between these populations and their wild relatives.

Quaternary Ice Ages Shaped Protists Phylogeography: The Case of Arcellinida in the Iberian Peninsula. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT The Quaternary glaciations profoundly shaped the biogeography of plants and animals, yet their impact on microbial eukaryotes remains largely unexplored. We tested the “genetic legacy of the Quaternary” (GLQ) paradigm in terrestrial protists using Arcellinida testate amoebae diversity distribution across the Iberian Peninsula, a well ...

Patterns of Interploidy Admixture in Polyploid Complexes: Insights From Thymus Sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae). [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Understanding gene flow between ploidy levels in polyploid complexes is essential for species delimitation and conservation. This study explores evolutionary dynamics in the polyploid complex Thymus sect. Mastichina (Lamiaceae), comprising three taxa: T. mastichina subsp. mastichina, T. mastichina subsp.

Contribution of Range-Wide and Short-Scale Chemical Soil Variation to Local Adaptation in a Tropical Montane Forest Tree. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Local adaptation is a fundamental process that allows populations to thrive in their native environment, often increasing genetic differentiation with neighboring stands. However, detecting the molecular basis and selective factors responsible for local adaptation remains a challenge, particularly in sessile, non‐model species with long life ...

The Mating System of the Wild-to-Domesticated Complex of Gossypium hirsutum L. Is Mixed [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The domestication syndrome of many plants includes changes in their mating systems. The evolution of the latter is shaped by ecological and genetic factors that are particular to an area.

Histologic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic differences in fir trees from a peri-urban forest under chronic ozone exposure. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUrbanization alters ecosystems and evolutionary processes. Processes like air pollution by tropospheric ozone contribute to the decline of urban and peri‐urban ecosystems, such as Abies religiosa forests in the peripheral mountains southwest of Mexico City.

Human management of ongoing evolutionary processes in agroecosystems
Plants, People, PlanetSocietal Impact Statement Agricultural sustainability depends on the adaptation of crops to their local environment. Smallholder farmers who save seed provide an essential “evosystem” service by growing locally adapted seed varieties that can recruit ...
