    First evidence for the evolution of host manipulation by tumors during the long-term vertical transmission of tumor cells in Hydra oligactis

    Justine Boutry, Océane Rieu ... Fréderic Thomas
    Transmissible tumors in Hydra can manipulate host phenotype by inducing the growth of supernumerary tentacles, enhancing host foraging efficiency and promoting tumor vertical transmission, akin to manipulative parasites.

    The population genetics of convergent adaptation in maize and teosinte is not locally restricted

    Silas Tittes, Anne Lorant ... Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra
    Adaptation of domesticated maize and its wild relative teosinte has been facilitated by the geographically widespread exchange of beneficial alleles between them.
