PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

Time evolution of the Partridge-Barton Model
, 2000 The time evolution of the Partridge-Barton model in the presence of the pleiotropic constraint and deleterious somatic mutations is exactly solved for arbitrary fecundity in the context of a matricial formalism.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Function and evolution of microRNAs in eusocial Hymenoptera
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 The emergence of eusociality (true sociality) in several insect lineages represents one of the most successful evolutionary adaptations in the animal kingdom in terms of species richness and global biomass.

Phytochemicals in MASLD: A Focused Review of Gut Microbiome‐Linked Mechanisms
Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major global health burden, yet effective pharmacological options remain limited. Recent advances highlight the gut microbiome as a key modulator of liver metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis, making it a promising therapeutic target.

The Pleiotropic Effects of Beneficial Mutations of Adapted Escherichia coli Populations [PDF]
, 2014 Mutations that improve fitness in one environment can often be beneficial, deleterious, or neutral in alternative environments. When a single mutation effects fitness in multiple environments, it is said to be a pleiotropic, which can have important ...

Emerging infectious disease selects for darker plumage coloration in greenfinches
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 Outbreaks of emerging infectious disease offer a unique chance to study viability selection in action in short time windows. Finch trichomonosis, caused by a protozoan Trichomonas gallinae emerged in Great Britain in 2005 and led to epidemic mortality ...

, 2018 Parallel evolution across replicate populations has provided evolutionary biologists with iconic examples of adaptation. When multiple populations colonize seemingly similar habitats, they may evolve similar genes, traits, or functions.

Aging, antagonistic pleiotropy and fibrotic disease [PDF]
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2010 Tissue fibrosis is most often referred to in its pathological context and is a major cause of progressive organ failure and death. Here, we consider fibrosis as an evolutionarily conserved, adaptive tissue response to injury. The role of NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) as a novel pro-fibrogenic mediator is highlighted.
