TL;DR: The first to conclusively demonstrate the acquisition of macrolide resistance through mtr alleles from other Neisseria species, demonstrating that commensal NeISSeria bacteria are a reservoir for antibiotic resistance to macrolides, extending the role of interspecies mosaicism in resistance beyond what has been previously described for cephalosporins.

TL;DR: Genomic neighbour typing can be used to infer the antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance of a bacterial sample based on the genomes of closest relatives and combined with MinION sequencing, it can rapidly determine microbial resistance for clinical samples within 4 h.

TL;DR: The results provide testable hypotheses about the physiological role of circadian clock genes in the circannual timer and predict these gene candidates will be targets of selection for future adaptation under continued global climate change.

TL;DR: Results in the ECB moth suggest that focusing on genetic variation in the timing of the dormancy termination phase may help explain how organisms rapidly respond to global climate change, expand their ranges after accidental or managed introductions, undergo seasonal adaptation, or evolve into distinct species through allochronic isolation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that selection on development time to ‘fit’ complete life cycles into a latitudinally varying growing season produces oscillations in alleles associated with voltinism, primarily through changes at loci underlying the duration of transitions between diapause and other life history phases.
