A comparison of the costs of delivering conservation through land sharing and land sparing
Globally, drastic biodiversity declines and the worsening climate crisis demand overhaul of existing land use policies which have failed to reconcile food production and environmental conservation. In Europe, most existing ... -
Ancient origins of the chordate forebrain: Conserved patterning of the anterior neuroectoderm in amphioxus
While the general organization of the chordate central nervous system (CNS) is highly conserved and consists of a dorsal neural tube with an anterior brain, the evolutionary origin of this key aspect of the chordate body ... -
The genomics of adaptive colouration in Hypolimnas butterflies and the wood tiger moth, Arctia plantaginis
Wing phenotypes in butterflies and moths are a striking example of adaptive evolution and are a tractable trait to dissect the genetic mechanisms underlying adaptations. Studies of Lepidoptera, mainly mimetic species from ... -
Phylogenetic inference using ancient environmental DNA
Ancient environmental DNA (aeDNA) has revolutionized our ability to describe and analyze biological communities in space and time by allowing for joint sequencing of entire ecosystems across thousands of years. However, ...
