The population structure of invasive Lantana camara is shaped by its mating system

|
By P Praveen, Uma Ramakrishnan
| eLife
eLife Assessment The submission by Praveen et al. reports important findings describing the structure of genetic and colour variation in its native range for the globally invasive weed Lantana camara. Whilst the importance of the research question and the scale of the sampling is appreciated, the analysis, which is currently incomplete, requires further tests to support the claims made by the authors.

Understanding range-wide immune gene variation in an endangered big cat (Panthera tigris)

|
By BV Aditi, Uma Ramakrishnan
| BioRxiv
Abstract Assessing genetic diversity at loci putatively involved in fitness, such as immune genes, could provide important insights into the survival and vulnerability of endangered species. Research on immune genes in wild species has traditionally focussed on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes, which represent a small proportion of the immune gene repertoire and limits our understanding of immunity in non-model species.

| Nature Verified
Abstract Climate change is rapidly transforming high-altitude ecosystems, placing cold-adapted species at risk. We assessed the vulnerability of four Himalayan Pika species (Ochotona macrotis, O. roylei, O. nubrica, and O. sikimaria) by integrating species distribution models with landscape metrics and sensitivity indices.
