AbstractPolyploidy, the result of whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major driver of eukaryote evolution. Yet WGDs are hugely disruptive mutations, and we still lack a clear understanding of their fitness consequences. Here, we study whether WGDs result in greater diversity of genomic structural variants (SVs) and how they influence evolutionary dynamics in a plant genus, Cochlearia (Brassicaceae).

AbstractA sustainable supply of plant protein is critical for future generations and needs to be achieved while reducing green house gas emissions from agriculture and increasing agricultural resilience in the face of climate volatility. Agricultural diversification with more nutrient-rich and stress tolerant crops could provide the solution.

En una fresca mañana primaveral del 2022, la comunidad andina de San Pedro de Casta se reunió en la plaza ceremonial para presenciar el pesaje de las hojas de coca. Enclavado en la cordillera de los Andes, a tres horas en automóvil de Lima, la capital de Perú, el pueblo de Casta es hogar para unos 1.000 residentes. Cuatro personas con autoridad en esta ceremonia hacían fila en orden de jerarquía, cada uno esperando su turno para entregarle al principal una bolsa de plástico llena de hojas de coca.

The earliest people who lived in North America shared the landscape with huge animals. On any day these hunter-gatherers might encounter a giant, snarling saber-toothed cat ready to pounce, or a group of elephantlike mammoths stripping tree branches. Maybe a herd of giant bison would stampede past. Obviously, you can’t see any of these ice age megafauna now. They’ve all been extinct for about 12,800 years.

AbstractThe benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals) include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen and seed dispersers. If the evolution of masting represents a balance between these benefits and costs, we expect mast avoidance in species that are heavily reliant on mutualist dispersers.

MessageToEagle.com – The earliest people who lived in North America shared the landscape with huge animals. On any day these hunter-gatherers might encounter a giant, snarling saber-toothed cat ready to pounce, or a group of elephantlike mammoths stripping tree branches. Maybe a herd of giant bison would stampede past. Animals that shared the landscape with humans disappeared as the ice age ended.
