Fascinating paper!
Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants

Want to publish a NIH-funded paper in Nature? Well - unless your institution has an agreement with Springer, you'll have to be mega-rich to be compliant with NIH's new no-embargo policy. Springer is insisting on gold OA - that's $12,690 and that's extortion.
This is a useful summary of how some major publishers are responding to the new NIH policy. We've just updated our policies at @biologists.bsky.social: @dev-journal.bsky.social @jcellsci.bsky.social and @jexpbiol.bsky.social will allow authors to deposit the accepted version with zero embargo.

A polygenic adaptive response to an epidemic in plants! Nice to see resistance can be quantitative!
🌳 Ash trees are evolving - fast
A fungal epidemic is killing Europe’s ash trees, but new research finds rapid polygenic adaptation is already underway.
Evolution in action, one generation on.

Rapid polygenic adaptation in a wild population of ash trees under a novel fungal epidemic

I see it the same way.
It is sad that even basic research needs to be defended with utility. For me, basic research is in the same category as art: civilized societies can't do without it, because we all want to know who we are and what our place in the natural world is -- questions that only science can answer.
