To understand the dynamics of host-pathogens coevolution and its epidemiological consequences, we need to know how new races of invasive parasites emerge. In our recent work, published in Molecular Ecology …
Genomic analyses reveal adaptive evolution of the fish ectoparasite, Gyrodactylus bullatarudis that is shaped by the combination of gene duplications, divergence and recombination. In a paper by Konczal et al. published …
In a series of commuter simulations described in a paper recently published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Jacek Radwan and Piotr Benkowski reveal unexpected potential of MHC-based mating …
A paper by Radwan et al. (2020) published in Trends in Genetics reviews mechanisms explaining landmark features of MHC genes, including their extreme polymorphism, and identifies open questions in MHC …
The effect of sexual selection on species persistence remains unclear. A fascinating article, recently published in Ecology Letters, suggests that dung beetle species with more competition among males for mating …
