Online toolkits for collaborative and inclusive global research in urban evolutionary ecology [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Urban evolutionary ecology is inherently interdisciplinary. Moreover, it is a field with global significance. However, bringing researchers and resources together across fields and countries is challenging. Therefore, an online collaborative research hub,

Wildlife gut microbiomes of sympatric generalist species respond differently to anthropogenic landscape disturbances

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2023
Background Human encroachment into nature and the accompanying environmental changes are a big concern for wildlife biodiversity and health. While changes on the macroecological scale, i.e.

Human encroachment into wildlife gut microbiomes

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Fackelmann et al. study the gut microbial composition of spiny rats across tropical forests in Panama with varying levels of protection and fragmentation in order to disentangle the relative influences of habitat fragmentation and anthropogenic ...

Complete mitochondrial genomes provide current refined phylogenomic hypotheses for relationships among ten Hirundo species

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Hirundo is the most species-rich genus of the passerine swallow family (Hirundinidae) and has a cosmopolitan distribution. Here we report the complete, annotated mitochondrial genomes for 25 individuals from 10 of the 14 extant Hirundo species; these ...

Zebras of all stripes repel biting flies at close range

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The best-supported hypothesis for why zebras have stripes is that stripes repel biting flies. While this effect is well-established, the mechanism behind it remains elusive.

Cartilage diversification and modularity drove the evolution of the ancestral vertebrate head skeleton

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2023
The vertebrate head skeleton has evolved a myriad of forms since their divergence from invertebrate chordates. The connection between novel gene expression and cell types is therefore of importance in this process.
