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
Two coral samples are shown side by side in a comparison. On the left, labeled "Week 0," the corals appear lighter, with distinct white and brown patterns. On the right, labeled "Week 9," the same corals are noticeably darker with more prominent brown hues, indicating changes over time.

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

Study shows that E. cyclocarpum trees in Colombia's dry forests show regional adaptation to heat & drought. Yet, adaptive alleles are unevenly distributed, and future climate offset is high across all regions. These biomes need urgent conservation 🔥🌳 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70302
