Evolutionary radiation, a pivotal aspect of macroevolution, offers valuable insights into evolutionary processes. The genus Pinus is the largest genus in conifers with c. 90% of the extant species emerged in the Miocene, which signifies a case of rapid diversification. Despite this remarkable history, our understanding of the mechanisms driving rad...

Scots pine is the foundation species of diverse forested ecosystems across Eurasia and displays remarkable ecological breadth, occurring in environments ranging from temperate rainforests to arid tundra margins. Such expansive distributions can be favored by various demographic and adaptive processes and the interactions between them. To understand...

Some fungi have been domesticated for food production, with genetic differentiation between populations from food and wild environments, and food populations often acquiring beneficial traits through horizontal gene transfers (HGTs). Studying their adaptation to human‐made substrates is of fundamental and applied importance for understanding adapta...

Many fungi have been domesticated for food production, with genetic differentiation between populations from food and wild environments, and food populations often acquiring beneficial traits through horizontal gene transfers. We studied the population structures and phenotypes of two distantly related Penicillium species used for dry-cured meat pr...

Western New Guinea remains one of the last biologically underexplored regions of the world, and much remains to be learned regarding the diversity and evolutionary history of its fauna and flora. During a recent ornithological expedition to the Kumawa Mountains in West Papua, we encountered an undescribed species of Melanocharis berrypecker (Melano...

Pigeons and doves (Columbidae) belong to a species-rich worldwide-distributed family and are of major historical and ecological importance. We generated phylogenetic hypotheses from museum samples to clarify the diversification of the family, which probably took place between mid-Eocene and mid-Miocene, where all extant clades were already establis...

Assessing the relative contributions of immigration and diversification into the buildup of species diversity is key to understanding the role of historical processes in driving biogeographical and diversification patterns in species-rich regions. Here, we investigated how colonization, in situ speciation, and extinction history may have generated...

Supplementary Methods and TablesThis file includes details about methods and parameters used, as well as supplementary results on analyses ofphenotype and whole genome analyses.

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for phenotypic diversification within and among species ultimately rests with linking naturally occurring mutations to functionally and ecologically significant traits. Colour polymorphisms are of great interest in this context because discrete colour patterns within a population are often controlled by just...

L’ivermectine, antiparasitaire de la famille des lactones macrocycliques utilisé dans le traitement des bovins et des ovins, se retrouve sous forme inchangée dans leurs fèces, où elle conserve son activité insecticide. Cette toxicité pour la faune non-cible est avérée en laboratoire et sur le terrain mais semble avoir un impact faible à l’échelle d...
