What a great issue - I particularly like Pages 1413–1432, but amazing content overall. Thanks Masahito for putting this together.
Now our special issue on the relationship between microevolution and macroevolution is online @jevbio.bsky.social! We hope that it marks the beginning of a new era of exciting discoveries.
