DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac267
Abstract: Meiotic recombination is an important evolutionary force and essential meiotic process. In many species, recombination events concentrate into “hotspots” defined by the site-specific binding of PRMD9. Rapid evolution of PRDM9’s zinc finger DNA-binding array leads… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2019.2880
Abstract: Natural disasters can cause rapid demographic changes that disturb the social structure of a population as individuals may lose connections. These changes also have indirect effects as survivors alter their within-group connections or move between… read more here.
