Compartmentalization reduces conflict in multipartner plant-insect symbioses
Many symbioses involve one host species having several mutualist partners, yet theory predicts that unrelated symbionts lead to destabilizing conflict through competition for host resources. We combin...

Is there an independent role of epigenetic variation in speciation? We looked for answers in the crow hybrid zone. In brief: DNA seems to be in the driving seat. Congrats Justin! This was a long journey. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Sex-biased Migration and Demographic History of the Big European Firefly Lampyris noctiluca
Abstract. Differential dispersion between the sexes can impact the colonization process and demographic history of a species. Here, we explored the demogra
