Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

The chromosome number and heterochromatin distribution pattern suggest differentiation among species of the Stylosanthes scabra-seabrana complex [PDF]
The genus Stylosanthes has economic importance in semi-arid regions and requires studies that reveal complex relationships between species involving different ploidies.

Minority cytotypes in European populations of the Gymnadenia conopsea complex (Orchidaceae) greatly increase intraspecific and intrapopulation diversity [PDF]
Background and Aims Patterns of ploidy variation among and within populations can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary mechanisms shaping the dynamics of plant systems showing ploidy diversity.

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into colorectal cancer reporting
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) are transforming cancer research and clinical care, with histopathology playing a central role in this transformation. In colorectal cancer (CRC), the second leading cause of cancer mortality world‐wide, multimodal and vision‐language models (VLMs) hold particular promise for enhancing the ...

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.

FUNGAL VIRAL MUTUALISM MODERATED BY PLOIDY [PDF]
Endosymbionts and their hosts have inherently ambiguous relationships as symbionts typically depend upon their hosts for shelter, nutrition, and reproduction. Endosymbionts can acquire these needs by two alternative strategies: exploitation and cooperation. Parasites exploit hosts to advance their own reproduction at the cost of host fitness.
