Curious about how pathogen responds to host resistance and climate change simultaneously? Elevated O3 increases Xanthomonas diversity and severity on resistant peppers, complicating climate-driven pathogen evolution predictions. w/ @nehapotnis.bsky.social πŸ“·: Fig. 1 at doi.org/10.1111/eva.70069

Drosophila melanogaster female pheromone reduces D. suzukii egg-laying and attraction, which can contribute to reproductive isolation and pest control πŸͺ° doi.org/10.1111/eva.70042

Globalization lets countries outsource environmental costs like biodiversity loss. New research shows that deforestation driven by developed nations' consumption significantly impacts species ranges globally. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Introgression between the critically endangered medium tree finch (Camarhynchus pauper) and the stable small tree finch (C. parvulus) may help retain adaptive alleles and genetic diversity, potentially aiding the conservation of the endangered species. doi.org/10.1111/eva.70066

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! πŸ§¬πŸ”¬ Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women in research and innovation in the past, present and future. Here’s to breaking barriers and advancing knowledge! #WomenInScience

"Alligators ameliorate dry-season stress by engineering deep-water habitats and altering food-web dynamics. This study proposes that the stress gradient hypothesis may be a special case of the intermediate disturbance hypothesis..."🐊 https://buff.ly/3Q2ODXt @pjfloodecology

Lu et al. used pool-seq to identify candidate genes linked to resistance to Dothistroma needle blight in lodgepole pine, jack pine, and hybrids. These results can aid forest management and resistance breeding. doi.org/10.1111/eva.70078 Photo: Robert L. James/U.S. Forest Service (CC BY)

Genomic monitoring shows re-introduced Chequered Skipper butterflies have retained diversity, but while the populations retain genetic diversity and low inbreeding, its limited founder size and high kinship levels pose future risks. doi.org/10.1111/eva.70074

Soil properties – water availability and pH – are strongly associated to the spatial distribution of two hybridizing and sympatric oak species (Quercus spp) at local stand scale. w/@felix-zimmermann.bsky.social, @christian-rellstab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/eva.70076

new paper in @evolappjournal.bsky.social with @felix-zimmermann.bsky.social ! Soil properties – water availability and pH – are strongly associated to the spatial distribution of two hybridizing and sympatric oak species (Quercus spp) at local stand scale. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The chequered skipper was reintroduced to England from Belgian source populations, following an intricate study to match habitat from native to introduced sites, which differed across Belgian populations. Still, two habitat matching populations seem incompatible! 1/ doi.org/10.1111/eva.... #consgen

How well prepared are maize landraces from Southern South America for climate change? Employing Essential Biodiversity Variables and species distribution models, Dominguez et al. found that these landraces face diverse threats to their genetic diversity and persistence.

Ne reconstruction efficiency over the time compared with long-time wolf monitoring data w/ @lperezsorribes.bsky.social Photo credit: Ernesto Zvar doi.org/10.1111/eva.70022

The Kirtland's warbler, once endangered and now delisted, shows genetic evidence of recent inbreeding and an excess of deleterious variation. This highlights the importance of genomic monitoring to ensure long-term species recovery doi.org/10.1111/eva.70052

We used the Central Europan wolf monitoring database to calibrate molecular Ne estimating methods with Ne derived from life-history traits. This shows the number of wolf packs is a good approximation of the effective size.

The long-tailed duck and velvet scoter have experienced declines, but are they of a magnitude that has led to significant inbreeding? The authors analyze demographic history and inbreeding in the two species using whole genome sequence data doi.org/10.1111/eva....

Researchers use bacteria that live inside the cells of fruit flies to determine the invasion origins of an agricultural pest recently introduced into the US from Europe doi.org/10.1111/eva....

Have you wondered how relative contributions of population history within native ranges (e.g., adaptation, range contraction, expansion) and founder effects following introductions shape genetic variation in invasive species? A freshwater fish case study doi.org/10.1111/eva....

Emerging genomic data can enhance conservation assessments by linking genetic diversity (GD) metrics to IUCN statuses. Key GD metrics, like Watterson's Theta and autozygosity, are predictive of Red List categories with @JongYoon_Jeon @AndrewDeWoody doi.org/10.1111/eva....
