ABSTRACT Habitat loss and agricultural intensification are major drivers of insect decline, yet their consequences for intraspecific genetic diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we used landscape genomics to compare genome‐wide diversity, population differentiation and spatial patterns of gene flow in two butterfly species (Polyommatus icarus ...

Polyphenism Through RNA Chemical Modifications
ABSTRACT Polyphenism, the capacity of a single genotype to produce discrete phenotypes in response to environmental cues, has long served as a model for understanding developmental plasticity. While classical studies have highlighted hormonal signalling and transcription‐factor‐driven gene regulatory networks that mediate these environmentally induced ...

ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...
