Continent-wide genomic signatures of adaptation to urbanisation in a songbird across Europe
Nature Communications, 2021 The genetic architecture underlying rapid adaptive responses to novel environments are poorly understood. A study of great tits from nine European cities finds that urban adaptation in a widespread songbird occurred through unique and shared selective ...

Stochastic dynamics of adaptive trait and neutral marker driven by eco-evolutionary feedbacks [PDF]
, 2014 How the neutral diversity is affected by selection and adaptation is investigated in an eco-evolutionary framework. In our model, we study a finite population in continuous time, where each individual is characterized by a trait under selection and a ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Multiple mechanisms drive genomic adaptation to extreme O2 levels in Drosophila melanogaster
Nature Communications, 2021 The genomic details of adaptation to extreme environments remain challenging to characterize. Using new methods to analyze flies experimentally evolved to survive extreme O2 conditions, the authors find a surprising level of synchronicity in selective ...

Analysis of DNA sequence variation within marine species using Beta-coalescents [PDF]
, 2011 We apply recently developed inference methods based on general coalescent processes to DNA sequence data obtained from various marine species. Several of these species are believed to exhibit so-called shallow gene genealogies, potentially due to extreme

Atomic Size Misfit for Electrocatalytic Small Molecule Activation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review explores the application and mechanisms of atomic size misfit in catalysis for small molecule activation, focusing on how structural defects and electronic properties can effectively lower the energy barriers of chemical bonds in molecules like H2O, CO2, and N2.

Evidence for sweep signatures in antibiotic-resistant strains in three species of bacteria [PDF]
PeerJOver the last decades antibiotic resistance has evolved and spread in many different bacterial species. From an evolutionary perspective, drug resistance is an adaptation to a new environment.

Small mutations in Bordetella pertussis are associated with selective sweeps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of pertussis, a highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract. Despite high vaccination coverage, pertussis has resurged and has become one of the most prevalent vaccine-preventable diseases in ...
