Did you know that Evolution Letters now publishes reviews?! Our inaugural one is fantastic! Deep learning is opening new doors for evolutionary genomics, especially for nonmodel organisms with sparse or uncertain genomic data. doi.org/10.1093/evle...
How do migratory birds navigate massive barriers like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? Asian stonechats reveal migratory divides, hybridization, and evolving routes across extreme landscapes. doi.org/10.1093/evle... Image credit Wikimedia.
How predictable is evolution? Replicated C. elegans experiments show environmental differences and population bottlenecks jointly shape the repeatability of adaptation doi.org/10.1093/evle... Image credit: Wikimedia
How do generalist parasites stay adaptable across many hosts? Root-knot nematodes show balancing selection maintaining host-specific variation in key pathogenicity genes. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan... Image Wikimedia
Why do sex chromosomes stop recombining? New models show even weak sexual antagonism can strongly drive recombination suppression, with mating systems shaping the outcome. By @ewanflintham.bsky.social and @charlesmullon.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/evle...
Rear-edge populations may not be evolutionary dead ends after all. Campanula americana shows strong local adaptation to warming climates despite reduced genetic diversity. doi.org/10.1093/evle... @perrierecoevo.bsky.social Image credit Wikimedia
Why do species' ranges stop where they do? New theory shows that matching habitat choice can sharpen range boundaries and reinforce limits imposed by competition academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

Okay, I have now read through this (and will need to go through it again...and again), and it is amazingly comprehensive and insightful. Terrific stuff.
