Black Hole Accretion and Spin-up through Stellar Collisions in Dense Star Clusters by Fulya Kıroğlu, Kyle Kremer, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Elena González Prieto, Frederic A. Rasio

“…We demonstrate that young star clusters are especially important environments, as they can produce collisions of black holes with very massive stars, allowing for significant spin-up of the black holes through accretion. Our predictions for black hole spin distributions from these stellar collisions highlight their sensitivity to accretion efficiency, underscoring the need for detailed hydrodynamic calculations to better understand the accretion physics following these interactions.…”

Atlantic mackerel population structure does not support genetically distinct spawning components [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] by Imanol Aguirre-Sarabia, Alice Manuzzi, Dorte Bekkevold, Natalia Díaz-Arce, Jessica Gomez-Garrido, Teunis Jansen, Marta Gut, Tyler S. Alioto, Sonia Sanchez-Maroño, Martin Castonguay, Naiara Rodriguez-Ezpeleta, Paula Álvarez

“…Given its highly migratory behaviour for feeding and spawning, several studies have been conducted to assess differentiation among spawning components to better define management units, as well as to investigate possible adaptations to comprehend and predict recent range expansion northwards. Methods Here, the genome of S. scombrus was sequenced and annotated, as an increasing number of population genetic studies have proven the relevance of reference genomes to investigate genomic markers/regions potentially linked to differences at finer scale. …”
