Instead of spending big money to recruit a few dozen academics from outside of Canada, I wish the Liberals invested in the outstanding talent coming out of our PhD programs. Postdocs could be extended (#, duration) for large numbers for the same price. It is top-down, headline seeking politics.

When rapid environmental change creates fitness valleys, recombination plays an ambiguous role. Wirtz et al. investigate how swift population recovery is possible, and interpret chromosomal fusions in this context.

What happens to ecosystems when you restore iconic top predators? It's more complicated than you might think.
A new study analyzes findings from more than 170 papers to clarify what we know so far about the ecological impacts of large carnivore recovery in North America and what mysteries still remain.
