A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi CichlidsNARA Subscribed
Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation. Here, we investigate the structure and evolutionary history of an inversion polymorphism that includes both a ZW sex locus and an orange‐blotch colour polymorphism in the roc...
Protecting pollinators and our food supply: understanding and managing threats to pollinator healthNARA Subscribed
Global pollinator declines threaten food production and natural ecosystems. The drivers of declines are complicated and driven by numerous factors such as pesticide use, loss of habitat, rising pathogens due to commercial bee keeping and climate change. Halting and reversing pollinator declines will require a multidisciplinary approach and international cooperation. Here, we summarize 20 presentations given in the symposium ‘P...
San Quirce (Palencia, Spain): new chronologies for the Lower to Middle Palaeolithic transition of south‐west EuropeNARA Subscribed
San Quirce is an open‐air archaeological site situated on a fluvial terrace in the Duero basin (Palencia, northern Iberia). This paper presents new and consistent chronologies obtained for the sedimentary sequence using post‐infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIR‐IR) dating of K‐feldspars and single‐grain thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT‐OSL) dating of quartz. The new dating results indicate...
