Testing for the Genomic Footprint of Conflict Between Life Stages in an Angiosperm and Moss Species Open
The maintenance of genetic variation by balancing selection is of considerable interest to evolutionary biologists. An important but understudied potential driver of balancing selection is antagonistic pleiotropy between diploid and haploi…

The Genomic Basis of the Tristylous Floral Polymorphism: Evidence for a Role of Gene Duplications in a Region of Restricted Recombination Open
Tristyly is an angiosperm sexual polymorphism characterized by three flower morphs maintained in populations by negative frequency-dependent selection resulting from disassortative mating among morphs. The floral morphs possess reciprocal …

Phylogenomics resolves key relationships in <i>Rumex</i> and uncovers a dynamic history of independently evolving sex chromosomes Open
Sex chromosomes have evolved independently many times across eukaryotes. Despite a considerable body of literature on sex chromosome evolution, the causes and consequences of variation in their formation, degeneration, and turnover remain …

Genomic evidence for supergene control of Darwin’s “complex marriage arrangement” – the tristylous floral polymorphism Open
Tristyly is a polymorphism characterized by three flower morphs with reciprocal stigma and anther heights controlled by two epistatically interacting diallelic loci (S and M), hypothesized to be supergenes. Chromosome-level genome assembli…

Phased Assembly of Neo-Sex Chromosomes Reveals Extensive Y Degeneration and Rapid Genome Evolution in <i>Rumex hastatulus</i> Open
Y chromosomes are thought to undergo progressive degeneration due to stepwise loss of recombination and subsequent reduction in selection efficiency. However, the timescales and evolutionary forces driving degeneration remain unclear. To i…

Core genes driving climate adaptation in plants Open
Closely-related species often use the same genes to adapt to similar environments1,2. However, we know little about why such genes possess increased adaptive potential, and whether this is conserved across deeper evolutionary ti…

Population Genomics of the Facultatively Sexual Liverwort <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i> Open
The population genomics of facultatively sexual organisms are understudied compared with their abundance across the tree of life. We explore patterns of genetic diversity in two subspecies of the facultatively sexual liverwort Marchantia p…

Genome size and repeat content contribute to a complex architecture of flowering time in<i>Amaranthus tuberculatus</i> Open
Genome size variation, largely driven by repeat content, is poorly understood within and among populations, limiting our understanding of its significance for adaptation. Here we characterize intraspecific variation in genome size and repe…

Cut your Losses with Squentropy Open
Nearly all practical neural models for classification are trained using cross-entropy loss. Yet this ubiquitous choice is supported by little theoretical or empirical evidence. Recent work (Hui & Belkin, 2020) suggests that training using …
