Boreal toads vary in their tolerance to the fungal pathogen Bd. That's linked to genetics: tolerant populations have distinct MHC alleles, higher heterozygosity & different functional supertypes. This could help flag populations for conservation 🐸🧬 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70348

Check out our paper on the impact of evolvability on cancer therapy outcomes, just out in @EvolAppJournal! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Joint work with @RanjiniBhattac2, @Sciurusniger, and Bob Gatenby

Cancer Evolvability Determines Therapy Outcomes

Cancer progression following treatment failure is an evolutionary process in which therapy acts as a selection pressure driving Darwinian selection on heritable variation to favor resistant clones....

Long-range population connectivity and limited restrictions on gene flow have shaped the evolution and diversification of flying-foxes across the Indo-Australian Archipelago. Our #newpaper has implications for conservation, speciation and #biosecurity. OA: doi.org/10.1111/eva.70329

Researchers in @ScienceAdvances have demonstrated that brief physical contact between healthy and bleached coral can restore algae to the bleached coral, leading to their full recovery. scim.ag/4s40Tt3
Two coral samples are shown side by side in a comparison. On the left, labeled "Week 0," the corals appear lighter, with distinct white and brown patterns. On the right, labeled "Week 9," the same corals are noticeably darker with more prominent brown hues, indicating changes over time.

Flying-foxes are highly mobile, but gene flow isn't uniform: isolation-by-distance in Pteropus alecto, panmixia in P. poliocephalus & P. scapulatus, and asymmetric hybridization shape their evolution and diversification 🦇🧬 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70329

Crop breeding & fertilisation can disrupt soil microbe mutualisms. Yet, new research on peas found that seed yield and N₂ fixation were positively genetically correlated. Breeding could therefore raise both yield and symbiotic nitrogen fixation 🌱 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70330
