• European's humble contribution to Humanity: according to new genome sequencing data, some alleles that help alcohol metabolism were originally selected for in Europe, then brought to North-Africans through admixture 2000 years ago. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msac183 9 comments 19/9/2022 europe
• Study: 6,000-Year-Old Watermelon from Libya Was Used for Its Nutritious Seeds, Not Its Flesh. The pulp of the 6,000-year-old Libyan watermelon was white and bitter, matching the inference that this plant was used for its nutritious seeds, instead of its pulp. https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msac168/6652436?login=false 10 comments 16/8/2022 science

• Stray dogs may be the intermediate hosts for the novel coronavirus, facilitating its jump from animals to humans, according to a new analysis. Dogs' intestinal tracts create a perfect environment to shape the genome of the coronavirus, allowing it to evolve to infect humans. https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msaa094/5819559 11 comments 18/4/2020 science
• Study points to evidence of stray dogs as possible origin of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Biologist, tracing coronavirus signatures across different species, has proposed that stray dogs—-specifically dog intestines—- may have been the origin of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msaa094/5819559 39 comments 15/4/2020 science

• The population of Icelandic walrus went extinct shortly after Norse settlement some 1100 years ago. Walrus hunting & ivory trade was probably the principal cause of extinction, being one of the earliest examples of commercially driven overexploitation of marine resources. https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/molbev/msz196/5564176 9 comments 14/9/2019 science
• Green algae that evolved to tolerate hostile and fluctuating conditions in salt marshes and inland salt flats are expected to survive climate change, thanks to hardy genes they stole from bacteria, according to a new study https://academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/molbev/msy167/5089240?redirectedfrom=fulltext 6 comments 28/9/2018 science
