Sexual division of labour shapes hunter-gatherer spatial ranges
Mobility lies at the adaptive core of the hunter-gatherer foraging niche, and has shaped the cultural and genetic evolution of our species. Yet, the specific drivers and consequences of mobility are still debated. Here we analyse the lifetime mobility patterns of 776 Mbendjele BaYaka hunter-gatherers from five regions in the northern Republic of Congo, revealing pronounced gender differences in sp...

Phylogenomic analyses of all major sea cucumber lineages provide a robust backbone of Holothuroidea
Sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) are a diverse and ecologically important group found in benthic marine habitats across all latitudes and depths. We developed a phylogeny of sea cucumbers by applying transcriptome and genome data from 37 Holothuroidea species representing 7 orders and 13 families, including 16 transcriptomic datasets generated as part of this study, with a matrix of 4,...

Vertical transmission of Wolbachia bypassing the germ line in an aphid
Wolbachia, a widespread endosymbiotic bacterium that infects a broad range of arthropods and nematodes, relies on vertical transmission from mother to offspring. This process often involves colonization of the host germline, subsequent transfer to developing oocytes, and utilization of host yolk protein transport mechanisms such as vitellogenin uptake. However, the transmission strategies employed...

Predicting the patterns of kinship dynamics in human societies
By shaping the inclusive fitness effects of behaviours, kinship environments have important implications for social evolution, and studies across non-human animal societies have shown that the patterns of kinship dynamics individuals experience as they age can be predicted by simple demographic parameters relating to sex-specific dispersal patterns, the extent of extra-group mating, and the age-sp...

Patterns of gene family evolution and selection across Daphnia
Gene family expansion underlies a host of biological innovations across the tree of life. Understanding why specific gene families expand or contract requires comparative genomic investigations clarifying further how species adapt in the wild. This study investigates the gene family change dynamics within several species of Daphnia, a group of freshwater microcrustaceans that are useful model syst...

The evolution of gene expression in seasonal environments
The biological activities of organisms are closely linked to seasonality. Phenology, the temporal orchestration of biological activities, is governed by gene expression, yet the evolutionary dynamics underlying seasonal gene expression remain unclear. To investigate these dynamics, we compared genome-wide expression dynamics (molecular phenology) in four dominant evergreen Fagaceae species in Asia...

Parasite virulence in coinfected hosts: the importance of infection order
When hosts are simultaneously infected by different pathogens, the severity of the disease might be exacerbated compared to hosts harboring single infections. The reasons underlying these changes in parasite virulence are manifold. Here, we investigated the importance for the infection outcome of order and timing of infection. We used a model of rodent coinfection between two parasites that do not...

Evolution under Domestication: Genetic differentiation in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) populations subjected to recent selective breeding
The black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) is widely utilized in commercial and research applications for waste bioconversion and sustainable protein production. However, prolonged captivity and artificial selection can shape genetic diversity, potentially influencing adaptability and long-term population stability. This study examined how recent selective breeding, genetic drift, and relaxed ...

Integrating ethnolinguistic and archaeobotanical data to uncover the origin and dispersal of cultivated sorghum in Africa: a genomic perspective
Archaeobotanical evidence suggests that the beginning of cultivation and emergence of domesticated sorghum was located in eastern Sudan during the fourth millennium BCE. Here, we used a genomic approach, together with archaeobotanical and ethnolinguistic data, to refine the spatial and temporal origin and the spread of cultivated sorghum in Africa. We built a probability map of the origin of sorgh...

Multiple instances of river-lake introgression in the adaptive radiation of sailfin silversides in Wallace's Dreampond
While adaptive radiations significantly contribute to the world\'s biodiversity, much is unknown about the genetic and ecological factors underlying these rapid successions of speciation. It has been suggested that hybridisation can facilitate the speciation process by generating genetic diversity on which diversifying selection can act. Sailfin silverside fishes (Telmatherinidae) in the Malili La...
