Stylized rendering of a raspberry plant, with multiple varieties of fruit, a stem represented by a DNA helix, and chromosomes as roots. In the background is an additional DNA helix and a molecular model of anthocyanin. The diagram represents findings from a multi-omics study of wild raspberry cultivars, analyzing their genetic relationships, identifying centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploring fruit quality regulation, and the discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruit.

How does #phenotypic #diversity relate to #genomic #evolution over #geological time?
In this #openaccess research article, Yang et al. find that species diversification (SD) in the Fagales (which includes oaks, chestnuts, and walnuts) appears decoupled from both, highlighting the multidimensional nature of SD evolution.

Fagales exhibit an “early burst” model of phenotypic disparification, with the morphospace being filled during the early radiation of the Fagales crown and its major families. Elevated levels of phenotypic evolution often correspond to hotspots of gene duplication, whereas species diversification is decoupled from both phenotypic and genomic evolution.

#Overfishing has caused #cod to halve in #bodysize since 1990s, study finds
#Scientists have uncovered #genomic evidence that intensive #fishing has driven rapid #evolution changes that have contributed to these fish roughly halving in average body length since the 1990s. The "shrinking" of cod, from median mature body length of 40cm in 1996 to 20cm in 2019, has a genetic basis and human activities have left a profound mark on the population's #DNA, the study concluded.
