Xenologs in fungi evolve dynamically after transfer on multiple levels: mutations in the sequence, through gaining and losing domains and introns, to gene duplications and losses. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by M.A. Ciach, J Pawłowska, P. Górecki, & A. Muszewska

The interkingdom horizontal gene transfer in 44 early diverging fungi boosted their metabolic, adaptive, and immune capabilitiesdoi.org Horizontal gene transfer is a transmission of genes between unrelated organisms that seems to occur in all living organisms, including fungi. Although seve

Can chromosomal inversions work together to create stronger reproductive barriers? They do in Littorina snails! doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Alan Le Moan, Sean Stankowski, Marina Rafajlović, Olga Ortega-Martinez, Rui Faria, Roger K Butlin, & Kerstin Johannesson.

Coupling of twelve putative chromosomal inversions maintains a strong barrier to gene flow between snail ecotypesdoi.org Abstract. Chromosomal rearrangements can lead to the coupling of reproductive barriers, but whether and how they contribute to the completion of speciation

Resequencing of reindeer genomes provides clues to their docile habits. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Baosheng Wu et al.

Exceptions to the rule: When does resistance evolution not undermine antibiotic therapy in human bacterial infections? doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Amrita Bhattacharya, Anton Aluquin, and David A Kennedy.

Exceptions to the rule: When does resistance evolution not undermine antibiotic therapy in human bacterial infections?doi.org Abstract. The use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections often imposes strong selection for antibiotic resistance. However, the prevalence of antibio

Dishonest and honest signals of fighting ability: How do they evolve? Find out in the article by Mohammadali Dashtbali, Xiaoyan Long, and Jonathan M Henshaw, now in @evolletters.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/evle...

The evolution of honest and dishonest signals of fighting abilitydoi.org Abstract. Competition over resources is often decided via aggressive interactions, which may or may not escalate to all-out fights. Weapons and body size p

Is genomic data useful for predicting species vulnerability to climate change? doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Katie E Lotterhos.

Interpretation issues with “genomic vulnerability” arise from conceptual issues in local adaptation and maladaptationdoi.org Abstract. As climate change causes the environment to shift away from the local optimum that populations have adapted to, fitness declines are predicted to

Lack of paternal silencing and ecotype-specific expression in head and body lice hybrids. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Hollie Marshall et al.

Social amoebas prey on bacteria but individuals can also host bacterial symbionts. What contributes to patterns of facultative symbionts & what happens when hosts enter the social life cycle stage? doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by @suegenenoh.bsky.social et al.

@marjosaastamoinen.bsky.social, Céline Teplitsky & I are proud to see the Special Issue “Evolutionary Adaptation to Climate Change” out in @evolletters.bsky.social academic.oup.com/evlett/artic...

Evolutionary adaptation to climate changeacademic.oup.com Abstract. When the notion of climate change emerged over 200 years ago, few speculated as to the impact of rising atmospheric temperatures on biological life. T

The first special issue of @evolletters.bsky.social is out now! This collection highlights the diversity of evolutionary responses to climate change and discusses future directions for continued work in the field. Volume 8 Issue 1 | Evolution Letters | Oxford Academic (oup.com)

Evolution and spread of multiadapted pathogens in a spatially heterogeneous environment. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Quentin Griette, Matthieu Alfaro, Gaël Raoul, and Sylvain Gandon.

Speciation can be affected by the environment in which mating occurs. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by Tania S Barerra, Marie-Laure Sattolo, Kevin E Kwok, Aneil F Agrawal, and Howard D Rundle.

A new paper in @evolletters.bsky.social shows birds actively prey on invasive box tree moths, with white morph moths hunted more often. Along with other forces, predation influences the ratios of color forms in natural habitats. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Paper by R. Poloni et al.
