   Price equation captures the role of drug interactions and collateral effects in the evolution of multidrug resistance

   Erida Gjini, Kevin B Wood

   A simple mathematical model reveals that antibiotic interactions and collateral effects of evolution are inseparable drivers of multidrug resistance linked by the well-known Price equation from evolutionary theory.

   Fast and flexible estimation of effective migration surfaces

   Joseph Marcus et al.

   Fast and flexible estimation of effective migration surfaces (FEEMS) is a new statistical method that can quickly infer and visualize patterns of migration from genetic data with spatial coordinates.

   Living with relatives offsets the harm caused by pathogens in natural populations

   Hanna M Bensch et al.

   Experiments show that pathogens spread more easily among relatives causing increased mortality, but such costs are cancelled out by the benefits of living with kin when pathogens are rare.

    Cortex cis-regulatory switches establish scale colour identity and pattern diversity in Heliconius

    Luca Livraghi et al.

    The evolution of a butterfly mimetic phenotype is driven by modular cis-regulstory switches controlling a ‘hotspot’ gene.
