Experimental demonstration of functional divergence in mitochondrial metabolism between two finch subspecies subjected to a thermal challenge
Abstract. Whilst there is a growing appreciation that mitochondrial divergence across lineages is not selectively neutral, less work has examined the funct

Although it feels bizarre to be posting about research with what has been going on in the US this week, I want to highlight new work from graduate student @nemovrobles.bsky.social whose first-first author paper on mitonuclear incompatibilities in swordtails just posted on bioRxiv. shorturl.at/gC71V
Admixture mapping reveals evidence for multiple mitonuclear incompatibilities in swordtail fish hybrids
How barriers to gene flow arise between closely related species is one of the oldest questions in evolutionary biology. Classic models in evolutionary biology predict that negative epistatic interacti...

Our long-tailed finches are looking mighty nice on the cover of Current Biology. A real treat to have our work on bill color evolution and the role of selection therein featured. Getting onto a cover has been a dream come true.
Hola skylarks, a new issue has just dropped!
On the cover: yellow-billed long-tailed finches & adaptive introgression of bill-color genes🪶🦜🧪
