Allowing proportion (or alpha) to be free in our models allows us to use nQuack to estimate mode of inheritance - which is exactly what @rschley.bsky.social did in our new paper. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/nph.... (4/n)
The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations
The presence of two or more copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. The Amazonian tr...

Moreover, we find that polyploid species have more loci under positive selection, particularly in genes relating to chemical defence against herbivores, a key ecological pressure on tropical trees 🐛

Conservation genomics of the sand-dune shrub Armeria pungens at the latitudinal edges of its distribution
In June 2024, a dedicated team of seven researchers from various European institutions led by Rosalía Piñeiro, interim associate professor at the University of A Coruña (Spain), launched a conservatio...
