Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Morphofunctional effects of captivity on the microanatomy of the talus bone in a wild ungulate (Sus scrofa)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our study explores the plastic changes induced by captivity on the microanatomy of the talus of wild boars, revealing denser bone with tighter trabecular networks but a lower relative maximum thickness of compact bone. These plastic adaptations can serve to detect early processes of domestication in the archaeological record.

Association Between Inbreeding Coefficient and Susceptibility to HIV-1 Infection, a Case-Control Study

, 2013
Introduction: Consanguinity has been associated with adverse health outcomes. The objective of the present study was to assess the association between parental consanguinity and risk of infection with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1). Methods:

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy‐forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Factors associated with inbreeding in charollais lambs

, 2020
Inbreeding within sheep populations is a relatively understudied area due to limited pedigree information. This study assessed the level of inbreeding within a Charollais sheep population.

The genetic architecture of leaf vein density and its importance for photosynthesis in maize

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Vein types in maize leaves. Summary Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values.

Phenotypic plasticity is broadly adaptive across an elevation gradient in the Cutleaf Monkeyflower

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Leaf shape plasticity expression is variable in Mimulus laciniatus. Summary Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which organisms cope with environmental heterogeneity, but its evolutionary consequences depend on how plastic responses align with the broader adaptive landscape.
