Abstract. Recent discoveries reveal that many complex intraspecific polymorphisms are shaped by a single supergene that maintains coadapted genetic variant

Die LMU gratuliert ihrem langjährigen Professor Harald Lesch zur Verleihung der Ehrenbürgerwürde, die am 16. April 2026 im Rahmen eines feierlichen Festakts überreicht wurde.

Male and female butterflies often face different ecological and sensory demands, yet how this shapes their foraging behaviour remains unclear. In Heliconiu

European and Asian populations of Borrelia (B.) bavariensis, a causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, substantially differ in their infection dynamics. This is argued to be a byproduct of the unique dem...

In den letzten Jahren haben sich Zecken in Deutschland weiter ausgebreitet und es sind neue Arten hinzugekommen. Gemeinsam mit Ihnen möchten NABU|naturgucker und wir mehr über das Verhalten und die Ve...

Germany is one of the most popular destinations for students and scholars worldwide, but those pursuing academic careers face significant hurdles to success.

Abstract. The long-standing notion that genotypes map to phenotypes through simple one gene–one trait relationships continues to shape both research in the

Mit ihrem Einsatz für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen an Unis wurde Amrei Bahr bekannt und löste eine Bewegung aus, die das Wissenschaftssystem ändern will. Jetzt gab die Juniorprofessorin ihren Ausstieg a...

Abstract. Many mutations have detrimental effects. The mutation load in a population depends on the efficacy of purifying selection in removing deleterious

LMU biologists decipher the ionome of chloroplasts and create the foundations for new biotech strategies.

Termites, the largest lineage of non-hymenopteran social insects, are important decomposers of plant organic matter in the tropics. Here, the authors sequence the genomes of 45 termites and two cockro...

From January 1st 2026, the CNRS will cut access to one of the largest commercial bibliometric databases, Clarivate Analytics'

Germany is one of the most popular destinations for students and scholars worldwide, but those pursuing academic careers face significant hurdles to success.

Thousands of centromeres were identified and tracked across two major fungal clades, showing that new centromeres spread progressively and that the kinetochore acts as a filter to determine which new ...

Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis remains challenging due to low endogenous DNA content of degraded samples. Hybridisation-based in-solution enrichment has emerged as an effective tool for targeting genomi...

European cuckoos lay very different eggs depending on the host species. Genetic analyses have revealed how this adaptation is inherited without leading to speciation.

Host-parasite arms races facilitate rapid evolution and can fuel speciation. Cuculus cuckoos are deceptive egg mimics that exhibit a broad diversity of counterfeit egg phenotypes, representing host-ad...
