Changes in abiotic factors, such as temperature, can affect the host fitness indirectly by modulating subspecies dynamics of key taxa, which are usually overlooked in microbiome research.

Abstract. Genetic redundancy, a hallmark of polygenic adaptation, implies that new trait optima can be reached by frequency changes of a subset of contribu

Population genomics is now in an era of abundance. Vast amounts of genomic data across an ever-growing diversity of species enable comparative analyses at

Endothermic vertebrates—birds and mammals—have convergently evolved specialized respiratory systems that can sustain high metabolic rates. But while both a

Sponges (Porifera), the earliest-diverging animal lineage, are unique among animals for their ability to develop a skeleton made of silica. To do this, the

The SMBE Fellows Program aims to provide mentorship and guidance to early-career researchers in scientific writing for evolutionary and molecular biology. Specifically, we aim to develop skills in wri...

Abstract. Deep learning (DL) has been widely used in various scientific fields, but its integration into phylogenetics has been slower, primarily due to th
