DOI: 10.1002/etc.4294
Abstract: Larvae of the insect Chironomus (Chironomidae: Diptera) have great potential for estimating the bioavailability of sedimentary trace elements because they are common in fine sediments and tolerate high concentrations of these contaminants. Their use as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14111
Abstract: Active transposable elements (TEs) may result in divergent genomic insertion and abundance patterns among conspecific populations. Upon secondary contact, such divergent genetic backgrounds can theoretically give rise to classical Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities (DMI), thus contributing to… read more here.
