Boreal toads vary in their tolerance to the fungal pathogen Bd. That's linked to genetics: tolerant populations have distinct MHC alleles, higher heterozygosity & different functional supertypes. This could help flag populations for conservation 🐸🧬 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70348

Long-range population connectivity and limited restrictions on gene flow have shaped the evolution and diversification of flying-foxes across the Indo-Australian Archipelago. Our #newpaper has implications for conservation, speciation and #biosecurity. OA: doi.org/10.1111/eva.70329

Researchers in @ScienceAdvances have demonstrated that brief physical contact between healthy and bleached coral can restore algae to the bleached coral, leading to their full recovery. scim.ag/4s40Tt3

Flying-foxes are highly mobile, but gene flow isn't uniform: isolation-by-distance in Pteropus alecto, panmixia in P. poliocephalus & P. scapulatus, and asymmetric hybridization shape their evolution and diversification 🦇🧬 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70329

Crop breeding & fertilisation can disrupt soil microbe mutualisms. Yet, new research on peas found that seed yield and N₂ fixation were positively genetically correlated. Breeding could therefore raise both yield and symbiotic nitrogen fixation 🌱 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70330

Genomic data on California towhee reveal peripheral populations with low diversity, high inbreeding, and bottleneck signatures. This highlights a conservation dilemma: save locally adapted variants or prioritize the core gene pool? 🐦‍⬛🧬 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70313
