High Humidity Exacerbates Psoriasiform Skin Disease Relapse by Increasing Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cells via Altering Skin Microbiota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that high humidity worsened psoriasis relapse in murine psoriasiform skin inflammation by increasing skin‐resident memory CD8+ cells via upregulating IL‐15Rα on keratinocytes. The increases in IL‐15Rα and memory CD8+ cells were attributed to S. nepalensis and its metabolite ADMA in skin exposed to high humidity.

Population Genomics Informs Resilience and Vulnerability of Habitat‐Building Coralline Algae

Evolutionary Applications
Maerl beds, formed by free‐living coralline red algae, are biodiversity‐rich and carbon‐storing habitats of high conservation value but remain understudied at the genomic level. Here, we present the first draft genomes and population genomic analyses for

Landscape genetics of highly disturbed arable systems : insights gained from investigating a small mammal species [PDF]

, 2015
A large proportion of the earth’s surface is dedicated to food production, and agriculture is widely acknowledged to influence local biodiversity via habitat loss and degradation.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Genotyping Lupinus angustifolius cultivars with SRAP molecular markers and degenerate primers

The EuroBiotech Journal, 2017
We examined 18 combinations of SRAP primers with resistance gene analog (RGA) and chitinase degenerate primers in order to determine their utility for genotyping L. angustifolius.

Biological invasions in agricultural settings: insights from evolutionary biology and population genetics [PDF]

, 2011
Invasion biology and agriculture are intimately related for several reasons and in particular because many agricultural pest species are recent invaders. In this article we suggest that the reconstruction of invasion routes with population genetics-based

Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

Paleoecology meets genetics: Deciphering past vegetational dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
Genetic analysis adds a novel dimension to paleoecology that is becoming increasingly important for elucidating vegetational dynamics in relation to climate change.

A Rare Allele of ST5 From Wild Rice Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel salt‐tolerance gene ST5W, characterized by a unique 36‐bp promoter insertion, is found exclusively in a small subset of Oryza rufipogon and is absent in cultivated rice. Field trials confirm ST5W significantly enhances rice yield across diverse genetic backgrounds under saline conditions.

The ecological genetics of senescence and stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2010
Longevity and the rate of senescence are determined by the ecological conditions during a population's recent evolutionary history, and are intrinsically linked to other components of life history and to fitness.
