DOI: 10.1002/advs.202411994
Abstract: The plasmid‐borne resistance gene mcr drastically undermines the effectiveness of colistin, posing a substantial threat to public health. Although several key plasmid elements that balance mcr‐1 persistence and bacterial growth are identified, the regulatory interactions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1314
Abstract: PREMISE When two populations of related cytotypes grow in sympatry, the rarer cytotype tends to be excluded due to a frequency-dependent mating disadvantage. Evolutionary models predict that polyploids, which are typically the rarer cytotype upon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16130
Abstract: PREMISE In fleshy-fruited plants, fruit removal is widely used as a proxy for plant reproductive success. Nevertheless, this proxy may not accurately reflect the number of seeds dispersed, an assumed better proxy for total fitness… read more here.

Perception, regulation, and fitness effects of pollen phytosterols in the bumble bee, Bombus terrestris.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "American journal of botany"
DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16165
Abstract: PREMISE Many flowering plants depend on insects for pollination and thus attract pollinators by offering rewards, mostly nectar and pollen. Bee pollinators rely on pollen as their main nutrient source. Pollen provides all essential micro-… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16429
Abstract: Abstract Premise Angiosperms range in sexual system from hermaphroditism through gynodioecy and androdioecy to dioecy. Trioecy, where females and males coexist with hermaphrodites, is rare. Recently, trioecy was documented in hexaploid populations of the wind‐pollinated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.22959
Abstract: Cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness) has been inversely associated with inflammation, but whether the association is attributed to fitness itself or lower levels of adiposity remains uncertain in young adults. The purpose of this study was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3702
Abstract: Abstract Vocal traits can be sexually selected to reflect male quality, but may also evolve to serve additional signaling functions. We used a long‐term dataset to examine the signaling potential of song in dimorphic white‐throated… read more here.
