Abstract: Abstract A phenotype is the expression of interactions between species genotype and environment. We quantified the contributions of ecological and phylogenetic associations to phenotypic variation in Geosmithia fungi. Geosmithia are symbiotic beetle-associated saprotrophs with a… read more here.

Abstract: Understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits is a major objective in biology. The standard approach for doing so is genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which aim to identify genetic polymorphisms responsible for variation in traits… read more here.

Abstract: True sea snakes (Hydrophiini) are among the last and most successful clades of vertebrates that show secondary marine adaptation, exhibiting diverse phenotypic traits and lethal venom systems. To better understand their evolution, we generated the… read more here.
