Our study shows that agricultural expansion into native forests and grasslands drives strong biodiversity loss in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi across the Andes.

OpenAccess science sounds great! But what if authors have to pay (Gold OA)? Well, clear biases appear: less participation from low and middle-income countries.

How to assess the plasticity of a given species across environmental conditions when you've measured tons of variables?
We introduced a simple method that led to a provocative ecophysiological hypothesis about photosynthetic plasticity & leaf resource investment:

We know that marine fishes 🐠 have an inverse gradient of speciation compared to that of spp richness, with higher speciation at higher latitudes. But, what about freshwater 🐟?

Balancing selection maintains some remarkable biological diversity, but detecting it from genomic data alone can be tricky. This may bias our view of its true prevalence. We investigated what makes balancing selection more or less detectable in genomic scans. + in thread & preprint!
