Palm's Ancient Genetic Split Reveals Two Paths of Domestication

Genetic analysis of the Acrocomia aculeata palm, a promising source for biofuel, reveals a deep evolutionary split between its Central and South American populations. Over the last 13,000 years, these two groups were domesticated independently, with ancient communities selecting for entirely different sets of useful traits on each continent, shaping the palm's genetic destiny.

Optimising Seagrass Density for Maximum Carbon Storage

Restoration projects often plant seagrass to capture carbon, but the ideal planting density has been unclear. A new study reveals a specific 'Goldilocks' zone—between 113 and 118 shoots per square metre—that maximises the burial of organic carbon in sediment.
