Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

T(w)o Patch or Not T(w)o Patch: A Novel Biocontrol Model

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 13, Page 14697-14743, 15 September 2026.
ABSTRACT A number of top‐down biocontrol models have been proposed where the introduced predators' efficacy is enhanced via the provision of additional food (AF). However, if the predator has a pest‐dependent monotone functional response, pest extinction is unattainable. In the current manuscript, we propose a model where a predator with pest‐dependent

Rethinking Plasticity in Sponges

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 431-446, September 2026.
This systematic review critiques the conceptual confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of “plasticity” in Porifera literature, revealing that researchers often overlook genetic variability and fail to distinguish between real‐time environmental responses and natural selection.
