The Department of Ecology at Montana State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scholar as part of NSF-funded research on speciation under alternating cycles of gene flow and isolation (fundi...

Changes in insect diversity and abundance can affect vertebrates but understanding these consequences relies on having rich information about vertebrate–insect interactions. This Review summarizes the...

In the last year, I’ve published not one but two books on scientific writing: the new edition of The Scientist’s Guide to Writing just last month, and Teaching and Mentoring Writers in the Sciences…

An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och botanik (DEEP) bedriver forskning och utbildning vid Arrheniuslaboratorierna på campus Frescati. Vi är cirka 100 medarbetare, inklusive doktorander och postdok

Genomic inversions spanning many genes can persist for millions of years. This study of Trinidadian guppy populations reveals how both ecological conditions and mate choice help maintain this hidden l...

The standard university response to a new challenge takes years. AI is not waiting.

The Pulitzer prizewinner shares his advice for pleasing readers, editors and yourself.

The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

The Smith Lab at Mississippi State University studies diversification using genomic data, with a focus on terrestrial snails and slugs.

GPN-Star, a genomic language model with a phylogeny-aware architecture for whole-genome alignment data, is shown to be a scalable and flexible tool for genetic variant effect prediction across species...

The analysis presented in this Brief Communication shows that, despite their complexity, current deep learning models do not outperform linear baselines in predicting gene perturbation effects, thus e...

Climate change increases plant species richness in alpine ecosystems. However, to what extent this diversity enrichment masks extinction dynamics of resident species remains elusive. In this study, we...

Insects have evolved diverse strategies to protect their genome-reduced symbionts during vertical transmission. Here, authors show that tortoise beetles have co-opted a Yellow protein to form spheres ...

Lund University welcomes applicants with different backgrounds and experiences. Gender equality, equal opportunities and diversity are fundamental principles in all parts of the University’s activit

Kosovo shows how surveillance can uncover hidden circulation—and help countries prepare before human cases appear

A central challenge in evolutionary biology is understanding how genetic variants influence biological functions and, ultimately, phenotypic diversity and
