Abstract. Understanding the architecture of biological adaptations is a major endeavor of evolutionary biology. Using Natural History collections, we study

In vitro functional assays link alternative MC1R alleles to least weasels’ camouflage in environments with different winter snow, and population genomics sheds light on their evolutionary origin and b...

Drosophila suzukii is a globally invasive fruit fly that causes significant economic impacts on soft-skinned fruit crops. While its invasion history has been studied on a global scale, regional-scale ...

High-quality reference genome assemblies have become essential for deepening our understanding of biodiversity, yet obtaining them for many species remains surprisingly challenging. Drawing on experi...

Fostering scientific literacy is a key societal goal to equip individuals with skills to navigate and make informed decisions in an increasingly complex world. The development of project-based learnin...

Abstract. Pleistocene climatic fluctuations have often driven range shifts and hybridization among related species, leaving present-day genomic footprints.
