Compromised Refugia: Latitudinal Gradients Mimic Depth and Constrain Subtropical Reef Habitats in the Nilotic Basin

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Deep reefs (25–30 m) were expected to be climate havens for fish fleeing warming shallow waters near Egypt's Nile Delta—but the opposite was observed.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Lactose tolerance (lactase persistence) represents a very progressive human adaptation, the origins of which remain incompletely understood. This study aims to examine the geographical distribution of the two alleles associated with lactose tolerance in Eurasia (13910*T and 13915*G) in relation to the main Y haplogroups and autosomal ancestry ...
