   Evolution of gene expression in seasonal environments

   Shuichi N Kudo, Yuka Ikezaki ... Akiko Satake

   A comparative analysis of genome-wide seasonal gene expression dynamics across four forest tree species revealed that a shared 'molecular calendar' emerges in winter, constraining gene expression evolution and potentially limiting temporal niche partitioning and species divergence in seasonal environments.

   Parallel HIV-1 fitness landscapes shape viral dynamics in humans and macaques that develop broadly neutralizing antibodies

   Kai S Shimagaki, Rebecca M Lynch, John P Barton

   Fitness constraints on the HIV envelope protein are highly similar in humans and rhesus macaques, emphasizing the utility of macaque models of infection and antibody development.

   Heterozygosity at a conserved candidate sex determination locus is associated with female development in the clonal raider ant (Ooceraea biroi)

   Kip D Lacy, Jina Lee ... Daniel JC Kronauer

   A complementary sex determination locus is conserved in ants and dates back to approximately 112 million years ago.

   Convergent iridescence and divergent chemical signals in sympatric sister-species of Amazonian butterflies

   Joséphine Ledamoisel, Bruno Buatois ... Violaine Llaurens

   Ecological interactions exert contrasting evolutionary pressures on sympatric Morpho butterflies, promoting convergence in iridescence but divergence in chemical cues, illustrating how ecological interactions mediate trait evolution and sister-species coexistence.
