ABSTRACT Although population genomics approaches have been successful in identifying regions of the genome shaped by natural selection, progress in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of adaptive variants and traits has been slow. By integrating multi‐tissue (gill, spleen, olfactory rosette, whole eye, and liver) transcriptomes from 16 wild Eurasian ...

ABSTRACT Information on connectivity and genetic structure of marine organisms remains sparse in frontier ecosystems such as the Arctic Ocean. Filling these knowledge gaps becomes increasingly urgent, as the Arctic is undergoing rapid physical, ecological and socio‐economic changes.

Local Selection Shaped the Diversity of European Maize Landraces
ABSTRACT The introduction of populations to novel environments can lead to a loss of genetic diversity and the accumulation of deleterious mutations due to selection and demographic changes. We investigate how the recent introduction of maize to Europe shaped the genetic diversity and differentiation of European traditional maize populations and ...

ABSTRACT The vast tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield in Northern South America play a vital role in maintaining the region's ecological balance and economy. Increasing pressure from selective logging, gold mining and climate variability threatens these ecosystems. Sustainable rainforest management requires understanding the genetic diversity and

Habitat complexity (HC) promotes species richness and abundance. Aquatic environments are faced with intense pressures that threaten the 3D structure of the seafloor, with cascading effects on ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. Maerl or rhodolith beds are marine biogenic habitats created by few species of free‐living non‐geniculate coralline algae

ABSTRACT The symbiosis between nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia and plants is considered mutually beneficial, yet its indirect effects on other organisms remain understudied. We examined how rhizobia symbiosis in Phaseolus vulgaris influences the behaviour and performance of Diabrotica balteata larvae. Specifically, we tested larval preference for nodulated (R+

Sand made from recycled glass cullet could supplement limited dredged river sand (dredge) in coastal wetland restorations; however, its suitability for wetland plants is unknown. In two experiments, we compared the biomass of several wetland plants in recycled glass sand to growth in dredge.

Microbial consortia from sugarcane soils, particularly ratoon cane environments, showed tebuthiuron‐degrading potential. Bayesian factor estimation of kernel density curves based on logarithmic response ratios enabled interpretation of non‐sigmoidal spectrophotometric data, revealing native microbiota's bioremediation capacity and offering a novel ...

ABSTRACT Understanding species‐ or population‐specific dietary specialisation is key to informing habitat conservation needs and successful ex situ recovery programs for many endangered species. One of the most endangered populations in Canada, the behaviourally distinct deep‐snow ecotype of the Southern Mountain caribou, is characterised by a winter ...

ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...
