Back-to-Africa introductions of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the main cause of tuberculosis in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

In settings with high tuberculosis (TB) endemicity, distinct genotypes of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) often differ in prevalence. However, the factors leading to these differences remain poorly understood. Here we studied the MTBC populat ...

A tool for mapping microglial morphology, morphOMICs, reveals brain-region and sex-dependent phenotypes

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Martina Scolamiero

Environmental cues influence the highly dynamic morphology of microglia. Strategies to characterize these changes usually involve user-selected morphometric features, which preclude the identification of a spectrum of context-dependent morphological phenot ...

Linking a mutation to survival in wild mice

Jeffrey David Jensen, Stefan Jean Laurent, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Matthieu Foll

Adaptive evolution in new or changing environments can be difficult to predict because the functional connections between genotype, phenotype, and fitness are complex. Here, we make these explicit connections by combining field and laboratory experiments i ...

Plastic and genetic responses of a common sedge to warming have contrasting effects on carbon cycle processes

Luca Bragazza, Constant Signarbieux

Climate warming affects plant physiology through genetic adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, but little is known about how these mechanisms influence ecosystem processes. We used three elevation gradients and a reciprocal transplant experiment to show th ...

Distinguishing knowledge integration gains in evolution education through concept map network analysis

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Understanding how evolutionary changes happen requires connecting genotype and phenotype level concepts. This study uses a form of concept map, called Knowledge Integration Map (KIM), as a learning and assessment tool to support and assess connecting conce ...

Catch Me if You Can: Adaptation from Standing Genetic Variation to a Moving Phenotypic Optimum

Sebastian Matuszewski

Adaptation lies at the heart of Darwinian evolution. Accordingly, numerous studies have tried to provide a formal framework for the description of the adaptive process. Of these, two complementary modeling approaches have emerged: While so-called adaptive- ...
