Abstract: Aging involves a progressive decline of metabolic function and an increased incidence of late-onset degenerative disorders and cancer. To a large extent, these processes are influenced by alterations affecting the integrity of genome architecture and,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2018.0230
Abstract: Urban environments offer the opportunity to study the role of adaptive and non-adaptive evolutionary processes on an unprecedented scale. While the presence of parallel clines in heritable phenotypic traits is often considered strong evidence for… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants11060825
Abstract: Variation in population sex ratio is particularly pronounced in gynodioecious angiosperms. Extremely high female frequencies in gynodioecious populations cannot be readily explained by selective forces alone. To assess the contributions of drift and gene flow… read more here.
