The Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics Group. We use molecular tools to study the evolution of diversity, and assist in its conservation

Hybridization has long been a central topic in evolution and conservation. Recent developments in genomics have increased the ability to detect hybridization, defined here as breeding between species....

Non-invasive samples, such as feces, remain an important source of DNA for genetic analyses in molecular ecology and conservation genetics, especially when working with elusive or endangered species. ...

The genome of the Atlas blue butterfly contains ten times more chromosomes than most butterflies, and more than any other known diploid animal. Wright et al. show that this extraordinary karyotype is ...

A large chromosomal inversion in common quails (Coturnix coturnix) is associated with phenotypic traits. In a wintering population in southern Spain, we found all three karyotypes coexisting but show....

An analysis of annelid genomes reveals massive reshuffling of chromosomes in the ancestral lineage leading to clitellates, a clade composed of non-marine annelids, with potential implications for the ...

En 2023 se han cumplido 50 años desde que un aristócrata ideara la introducción de una de las especies invasoras más dañinas de España.

Chromosomal inversions, by suppressing recombination, can profoundly shape genome evolution and drive adaptation. In the common quail (Coturnix coturnix), a highly mobile bird with a vast Palearctic ...

We propose to expand the concept of extreme environments to encompass those that are profoundly altered by climate and global changes, highlight the critical role of stress resilience in understandin...

One of the main limitations of phylogenetic comparative analyses is that associations between traits can only be interpreted as correlations. Here, we present a novel Bayesian structural equation ...

La técnica del 'intercropping' permite ahuyentar las plagas con más eficacia y menos gasto

An interim U.S. attorney is demanding information about the selection of research articles and the role of N.I.H. Experts worry this will have a chilling effect on publications.

La empresa Colossal Biosciences, en la que participa el investigador George Church (Universidad de Harvard), no deja de producir titulares espectaculares cada cierto tiempo. Cuando todavía no nos hemo...
