Abstract: Abstract Formerly common plant species are expected to be particularly susceptible to recent habitat fragmentation. We studied the population genetics of 19 recently fragmented Saxifraga granulata populations (max. distance 61 km) in Luxembourg and neighboring Germany… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyac122
Abstract: The interaction of evolutionary processes to determine quantitative genetic variation has implications for contemporary and future phenotypic evolution, as well as for our ability to detect causal genetic variants. While theoretical studies have provided robust… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1350
Abstract: Plants interact with diverse microbiomes that can impact plant growth and performance. Recent studies highlight the potential beneficial aspects of plant microbiomes, including the possibility that microbes facilitate the process of local adaptation in their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.0141
Abstract: The vast variation in floral traits across angiosperms is often interpreted as the result of adaptation to pollinators. However, studies in wild populations often find no evidence of pollinator-mediated selection on flowers. Evolutionary theory predicts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/scisignal.aba5665
Abstract: A genetic screen in haploid human cells reveals context-specific regulators of the mTORC1 pathway. Perturb and observe screening in haploid cells Yeast have been a powerful model organism for genetic screens because they can easily… read more here.
