PEX11β and FIS1 cooperate in peroxisome division independent of Mitochondrial Fission Factor
(The Company of Biologists, 9 June 2022)Peroxisome membrane dynamics and division are essential to adapt the peroxisomal compartment to cellular needs. The peroxisomal membrane protein PEX11β, and the tailanchored adaptor proteins FIS1 (mitochondrial fission ... -
Genetic variance in fitness indicates rapid contemporary adaptive evolution in wild animals
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 27 May 2022)The rate of adaptive evolution, the contribution of selection to genetic changes that increase mean fitness, is determined by the additive genetic variance in individual relative fitness. To date, there are few robust ... -
Cooperative nest building in wild jackdaw pairs
(Elsevier, 6 July 2021)Animals create diverse structures, both individually and cooperatively, using materials from their environment. One striking example is the nests birds build for reproduction, which protect the offspring from external ... -
