DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09806-6
Abstract: Colour polymorphisms play a key role in sexual selection and speciation, yet the mechanisms that generate and maintain them are not fully understood. Here, we use genomic and transcriptomic tools to identify the precise genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blx142
Abstract: Nepenthes is a genus of carnivorous pitcher plants with high intraand interspecific morphological diversity. Many species produce dimorphic pitchers, and the relative production rate of the two morphs varies interspecifically. Despite their probable ecological importance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0228
Abstract: Polymorphisms in a population are expected to increase the growth rate and the stability of the population, leading to the expansion of geographical distribution and mitigation of extinction risk of a species. However, the generality… read more here.
