Slight thermal stress exerts genetic diversity selection at coral (Acropora digitifera) larval stages by Cristiana Manullang, Nozomi Hanahara, Ariyo Imanuel Tarigan, Yuko Abe, Mao Furukawa, Masaya Morita

“…The genes showing signs of positive selection in response to heat stress may have also been influenced by historical temperature fluctuations, as suggested by their association with loci identified during Acroporid speciation. These loci under codon-level positive selection during speciation highlight the potential role of genetic diversity in shaping adaptation to environmental changes over evolutionary timescales. …”

Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the ecological transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…The published papers convey several reflections and research trajectories based on the need for a multiscalar nature of interventions, which guarantees effects that are induced to a broader environmental context than the one of reference, and for teams that address critical issues with a holistic and systemic inter- and transdisciplinary collaborative approach, in a sort of speciation of disciplines that modifies their traditional statutes; what emerges then is that the intangible and material tools we can deploy today are numerous also thanks to the possibilities offered by digital technologies in the different design, implementation and management phases of the process. …”

How does the mode of evolutionary divergence affect reproductive isolation? by De Sanctis, Bianca, Schneemann, Hilde, Welch, John J.

“…In this way, the mode of evolutionary divergence between populations may have predictable consequences for the fitness of their hybrids, and so for the progress of speciation. To investigate these connections, we present a new analysis of hybridization under Fisher's geometric model, making few assumptions about the allelic effects that differentiate the hybridizing populations. …”
